CR exhaust still has the helmholtz resonator.

I'm wondering if it's the same one as on the "base" exhaust as the mufflers are different. Probably no way to tell without them side by side. AP1 and AP2 look quite different.

Has anyone tried adding a Helmholtz resonator ( the dead end pipe near the front of the stock system) to the Tanabe Revel system? It should change the resonance in the system without adding restriction, only a little weight.
After a year I think the Medallion Touring is a bit quieter. 2-4k issue is still there and can get annoying on slower roads. I do think top end power is increased and there is a little burble off throttle during shifts that was not present with the stock system. I did also have the same thought about the resonator, but I don't really want to cut up my new exhaust just yet. I'll give it some time and if it's annoying I'll look into it. Also, i think the smell went away finally lol. |

EDIT: first of all, THANKS to the OP and other folks for all the invaluable info here.
Pics and initial thoughts on this exhaust now that it's on my car. I fiddled around for too long trying to get each side just right, and realized this is why it's best if I do NOT have help when doing this stuff. Even a good friend would walk away after an hour of adjusting and measuring with a micrometer and laser level. Eventually I tightened it all up and got the car on the ground. These tips are so freaking nice. https://www.s2ki.com/forums/attachme...1&d=1628777314 Lastly, it could be my imagination but the car seems quicker/easier to get off the line. Just slightly smoother or something... it's tough to put my finger on. The best way I can describe it is the car seems more "on its toes", whether just starting off or even while driving. Imagined or real I suppose it doesn't matter, as either way I am enjoying that new aspect of the car. So I installed the Revel Medallion today and have exactly the same original fitment issue as you. Had to manipulate the bumper's soft lower edge with zip ties to avoid the tip melting it for now! Any advice on what you did to fix the alignment? Looks like you got it spot on here! I tried refitment twice and also tried to manipulate the hanger, but nothing really changed. Next option is to take it down and bend the pin to sit better in the hanger... https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...6c73108408.jpg Before manipulating the bumper to avoid touching https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...d38837737.jpeg This is the hanger and you can see the pin is not aligned or level. I've twisted and secured the hanger to pull it down a bit for now. The driver's side is perfectly level and straight compared to this... I came from a UK mod to this and I am very happy, minor boom included. In Sweden we have really low speed limits and the sounds (and burbles) I can now get while pottering around town are superb. Mine also feels faster off the line but I think that's just my inner teenager's imagination... :D |
No Burbles on my Tanabe Medalion (one L) Touring exhaust but it's also behind a Berk high flow car and I'm FlashPro tuned. The Burble is the ONLY thing I miss from the month I had the the amazingly horrible and amazingly popular Invidia Q300 dual exhaust on the car. I think my high school diploma has something to do with those perceptions 'cuz those guys loved it when I drove by. :) "Someday" I hope to hear the Medallion (two Ls) Touring side by side with mine.
Obligatory note: Before buying any aftermarket exhaust (or the UK modification) hear it on a S2000 on the road. Sound clips ain't gonna help nor will comments like "barely louder than stock, etc). I wear hearing protection in many factories and at the range but "free the ears" when driving. Anyone who wants to drive their S2000 to Richmond is welcome to drive mine. (Behave 'cuz I'll be driving yours. :) ) -- Chuck |
