There doesn't seem to be many pictures on this, so I will post for those that are looking into the setup.






The exhaust is LOUD!!! Really nice sounding though. With the top up, it can begin to drone quite loudly. I think I just need to learn how to drive with it a little more to avoid the droning. The setup sounds SWEET below vtec, and above it, you can't really tell unless you are outside of the car, b/c inside all you hear is engine (and intake in my case).

I highly suggested buy if you are interested. The contruction quality is outstanding. Installation a breeze.

Thanks,
Tom

Looks Great! I've always been a sucker for the spugen dual with oval tips.

Thanks slcook54,

I forgot to mention the performance gains. According to the dyno on Teamspugen's webpage, it gives +5 rwhp. I can say, yeah I think it's there. Only way I can tell is that when I expect to be at one speed, I look down and I'm goig slightly faster than I expected after driving the car for about 6 months with stock exhaust and CAI.

maybe it's in my head, but seems to pick up just a bit better.

esstookaytd-
i have the dual ovals, and know what you mean about the hp gain... feels like it is a little stronger, but also could be in my head too. i also notice a smoother vtec transition (not as much of a kick), but was told that this is probably temporary.

(btw, texas-ex here too- hook'em horns!)

Hmmm is it just me or does the tip look like they were painted blue? yes I know when you burn Ti it turns blue, just the impression I got from first glance.

Maybe it's just the picture. Nice car anyhow!

Congrats on the exhaust, hope you get use to the sound instead of hate it.
