i like being quiet, i have had other cars that are incredibly loud and it's nice to keep the stock exhaust on. sure i could upgrade to an aftermarket exhaust but then i'd probably have to ditch the FPR and get a standalone. if i did that i'd get aftermarket injectors, a tiny pulley, and the mod bug would keep on biting. it's bad enough i've put so many mods on in such a small period of time...

 

I had two different aftermarket exhausts on my car. I did actually like the stock exaust when I put it back on, but damn that thing is heavy.

 

just to throw out. i had the stock resonator removed. deeper growl in lower rpm's, but tinny sound WOT atarting at 4k. but in vtec it al goes away hah.

 

So do I, although I just have my stock resonator removed.

Removing the test pipe is as easy as removing 5 bolts. You can simply replace the cat when you need to get smogged.

 

I have an invidia v3 and test pipe, as much as i miss stock(and my hearing)...i don't think i'd go back to it..too quiet for my taste.

 

its only illegal when you get caught

 

I am going to be getting rid of my Invidia V2 this spring. I have had it for 4 years now and I am just over it. I am looking forward to being able to hear the intake sound from my AEM V2 again. Though I loved the sound and the look, the damn thing was so loud that it would make me baby the car so that I wouldnt attract unwanted attention (cops). I want to be able to get on it without looking around all paranoid all the time.

 

Yeah all I have now is the AEM V2 and it still sounds nice...I miss the power from my T1R EM though

 

Haha I'm already thinking lol.... but yeah

 

i'm old and conservative, but i don't think the 70em's that loud. that was my biggest concern when buying the exhaust. this exhaust makes driving the car much more fun.
