i got this exhaust few days ago and installed it, thought id share some pics with you guys



the box

contents

pretty welds

not so pretty but still good

the otherpart

extra hanger location (i know i need a new lower tie bar)

invidia n1 v. ark dts 3" single

the extra canister hangs really low hope it doesnt get too dinged up

 

Looks decent. I don't however like the look of the huge muffler and the fact that the hemholtz resonator can be seen very clearly. Does she at least sound nice?

 

^ I agree...I hate how EVERY muffler puts a HUGE round muffler tip...that is honestly what has kept me from going aftermarket. Plus AP2 tips look so nice. I'm curious about the sound. Any drone? How much was this?

 

Is the Helmholtz chamber removable for those that have a test pipe (and won't get benefit from it)? Do you have the stock VTEC engagement / tune? If not, do you notice much loss in mid-range from the Helmholtz?

 

Sorry, but that is hideous!!! What a terrible design.

 

I dig it. I'd like the muffler and tip tucked up a little bit more though. How does it sound?

 

i think it sounds pretty good, its really quiet something i was really looking for after running the invidia n1 for awhile
theres only a tiny bit of drone from 3000 to 3200 but theyre suppose to send out a helmholtz that attaches to the bung that eliminates it
i dont feel much difference in power, but everything seems a little smoother but maybe thats just because my ears arent ringing when im driving anymore
ill post up a sound clip later today

 

It would be awesome if you could get a decent sound clip (ie. WAV file) from inside the car at head level while you accellerate at full throttle from 2500 to 6000 in 3rd gear on a quiet road. I have software that will plot sound level by RPM to determine true drone.

 

Here's a sample of a couple exhausts I've recorded. The Y-axis is unitless, but it gives a linear representation of the sound level across the RPM range. If you could get 3-4 recordings in the same manner so that I can average them, that would be even better.

 

i kind of like the way it looks, in for a sound clip =)
