Default Good News Bad News

Good News: Just had the new Invidia exhaust bolted up this afternoon. VTEC redline becomes a religious event.

Bad news: It does drone like a son of a B-tch

Good news: I got silencers with it, just bolt them in and see how it sounds.....nice!!! let me take it for a little drive.

Bad news: Must have not had one silencer bolted in tight. It falls out....by the time I make a U-turn to get back to it, another car runs over it redering it into stainless steel scrap metal.

Ok.....anyboy got one or a pair of silencers to sell? So I can try this whole scenario again.

I do love the sound and after driving around for the afternoon, I am able to control the drone much better than my first drive this afternoon. I just think that for my daily commute, the silencers will protect my hearing.

Thanks for listening

I survived with an Invidia for a couple of years...it got tiring quick.

Now I have a T1R 63mm...almost no drone...nice and quiet on the highway...loud as hell at WOT. If you must have a dual then T1R Sparrow...FL05S2K has one for sale for $700 on this board.

Darkfx,,,,still not sure, but I kind of enjoy your sense of humor.

The nice thing is that I am not married to this beast.....if I decide to move on, it doesn't cost me much more than the upgrade. Going to enjoy the weekend....listen for me in Orlando.

I've very use to my Invidia. Even the wife can put up with it. Or course, my car isn't a daily driver. Not sure if I could live with it if I had to drive long distances with it every day. But, my commute is only eight miles each way. I could probably do that with the Invidia.

I love the way it sounds. Sounds great going through tunnels and on The Dragon. Makes watching my driving videos fun too.

Sucks about your silencer.
