Default Exhaust Time

Well as you folks may or may not know, I ran over something in the road coming back from Wilmington... Dented up some of the exhaust piping and nearly punctured the resonator...
Really like the Invidia duals... but open 4 suggestions on other brands...
Wouldnt mind hearing if someone has a used exhaust they wanna get rid of...

I really like the way the invidia looked on Matts car, but it was a bit too loud for me. If I had my choice and money wasn't an issue, then I would go with mugen titanium, comptech, fujitsubo...Those are all pretty quiet....If I wanted a bit louder I would go with one of the Duel full titanium setups... The Elispir exhaust for $475 SHIPPED is pretty tempting in the GB section.. I think its compariable to invidia for sound though.

I know man...
Being behind you at the Zoo MED and Maniac at the Wilmy MED, the Invidia was music to my ears...

As far as loudness being an issue with me... its not. I have a 2000 dodge ram turbo diesel for work that Ive installed a turbo back straight pipe exhaust thru the bed into a 5" chrome smokestack like on a big rig... Doesnt get louder than that my friends!!!!!!!

I have actually checked on the Elispir and its ok... not too fond of the canister design... looks a bit bulky to me on our cars...

I would say if you liked the way my car sounds then get the Invidia, if things were a little too loud then go with Fujitsubo, or comptec. I will let you drive my car this Friday and you can decide how you like the Invidia. At first, it was too loud for me, but now that I have had it on there for a while and made a decent trip to Wilmy, I would not want another exhaust.

^^ Yeah the sound and pitch of the Invidia is just about perfect to me, esp at VTEC crossover, it is insane...
That mugen, comptech, fuji, j's, spoon, etc. is very very well designed and respected for our cars no question, but come on who really wants to drop $1000 to $2500 on an exhaust????
Not me for one... Just dont have that kinda $$$$$$ laying around and the hp gains arent justifiable...

Ask Graham (s2000shifter) about his cut outs!! Those suckers are loud as hell!!!! At the asheboro meet he was 2nd in line and I was about 7th or so and his car was loud to me.

Still though, I want the look as well as the sound...
