Default Spoon N1 (single outlet) exhaust install

Reecespieces came over today to install his Spoon N1 exhaust. The exhaust is super lightweight, and the fit and finish was top notch.

Prolene came over to check out the install.









mid section installed.



Reecespieces working on the rear section.



Very nice!

Some personal opinions after driving Reecespieces' car:

1. the exhaust is WAY lightweight
2. the exhaust note at idle is almost unnoticeable (very quiet) with a hint of a hidden animal behind the exhaust note
3. throttle response is MUCH faster
4. it's surprising how quiet it is given its single outlet design
5. some droning at 4K in 3rd - it's not a RICE sound, but a very powerful, distinct, and very (for some reason) satisfying growl.
6. VTEC is simply AMAZING! From a 3rd person point of view standing on the sidewalk, when VTEC hits a very clear F1-ish sound booms from the exhaust, mixing with the howling of the engine. In the cockpit, VTEC is similarly amazing.

If you are looking for a single outlet exhaust that is not ridiculously expensive or loud, Spoon is a very good choice.

Probably much louder with the included straight pipe I would think. This is the exhaust I will be getting, no doubt about it.

Cool!

If you can PM me as soon as you have firm info on the ETA.

Oh, any comments about the sound with the silencer installed?

Thanks

I was also interested in the price for the exhaust.
