Default An apology to everyone coming to DFR for my exhaust

I've decided to be upfront with this. I drive a MY00 NFR. I have a T1R 70mm V3 (a single). I have the invidia 70mm test pipe. I have berk headers. No problem so far. Except, well, I cut the resonator off of my T1R hoping to get more "detail", but ended up with...rasp. And what is without question one of the loudest S2k's I heard the last (and first) time I was at the dragon (this April). So, since I didn't have the coin to buy a new exhaust before this fall's DFR, I apologize heartily to all my fellow drivers: I'm very sorry. It is loud. There is rasp. And though I kind of like it, I hope it doesn't hurt your ears or neck from cringing. That is all. Thank you for reading

I had the same exhaust before with a test pipe but without the header. It was loud as hell. So basically what you're telling me is that I won't be able to hear my own car at the dragon. Thanks. Thanks a lot.

If we run together, please let me know so I can run ahead of you.

Looks like it's time for some "Christmas Tree Air Fresheners".

Maybe Mike still has his. Maybe he will bring them along.

Great. A test pipe and I have asthma. Nothing personal, but please don't EVER get in front of me. I hate test pipes, they stink.

Having been behind both nvidia's and spoon's, I'd be surprised if yours is the loudest s2000 I've been behind. But yeah, test pipes do stink (but I can't say much as my RSX had one). I hope you're considerate to the others in the group and try to stay near the back, but welcome to the event anyway and we'll try not to be too hard on you (right guys?)

and also - hats off for the heads up and prepology
