over all impressions:

First off this thing is light!! It was like 10lbs with the box and silencer (not pictured) ..

Cost = $1550 - exhaust , $100 - silencer, $150 shipping, $40 labor

Total= $1840 ... NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART!!!

Specs: LIGHT!! LOUD!! NICE!!

Install was all in all easy only took 20 mins for the actual install time. The exhaust was super packaged in bubble wrap and peanuts from amuse so that it could survive its long trip here..

Since the R1000 replaces the cat (thats right NO cats!!) it includes a spot for the o2 sensor.. Everyone at the dealership swore left and right it would cause a CEL but NOPE it didnt.

I have no clue what those springs are for so dont ask!

OK, i know everyone wants to know what its sounds like... Well.. ITS LOUD AS ALL HELL!!! with no cat and titanium piping.. Its unbelievable, its actually louder that I imagined it would be. Below 5000 rpms it cant hear yourself think, and you cant hear you radar detector either (this could become a problem). Once you hit vtec, its sound like an motorcycle hitting high revs. On the way home I actually had an R1 pull up next to me and I think my exhaust was louder than his!! Just to give you an idea.. God news is I have a silencer, after i put that in it was just perfect!!! Much more the likes of a HKS or Invidia.. Its sound great with or without the silencer, its just a matter of "Do you want to keep your hearing"...
