silencer will NOTICEABLY cut your power. get a test pipe to get rid of some of the drone inside the car.

 

is it normal to smell a burnt smell after installing this exhaust? kinda smells like burnt rubber of some sort. i checked and nothing on the exhaust is touching.

 

if it's brand new, that's normal. it will smell like that for a while.

 

buy a turbo that quiets down any exhaust...

 

Yes it's normal. Vtec more and it might go away quicker, but it won't last forever so sniff it up while it lasts

 

I love the smell of exhaust in the morning, it smells like... victory.

 

that's right...

 

my V3 came with a silencer?

 

i just put my tp on last night, its louder in vtec now but drone is much less.... i hear if you cut the resonator off your stock exhaust and weld it on the invidia it helps, but i just heard that its not from experience. just keep the top down all the time that helps the drone

 

I love it when I start the car in the morning, and a cloud is coming out of the tail pipe, and the whole garage smells like gasoline I wouldn't start my morning any other way. To the OP, the Invidia isn't the best choice of exhaust if you plan on road tripping your car lol. I love my 3" exhaust, but driving it down to the Dragon and back twice a year permanently damages my hearing.
