I went back to my OEM system after the Buddy Club Pro Spec I had. I'm glad I did for several reasons:

Buddy Club was way too loud and droned a lot. I'd venture to say it was louder than an Invidia.
It also did not allow my Chase Race hitch to fit.

The only concern I have now is that with the OEM exhaust being so heavy, plus the Chase Race hitch being ~25lbs it brings the rear pretty low and upsets the camber. My Espelir ASD springs already don't allow the car to be set to OEM camber specs, and this combination brings it even further out. Plus adding my 50lb downhill bike and 45lb Thule bike rack on the rear? It's disaster haha. I might have to go OEM springs in the rear and Espelir in the front.

 

Ha! Theres something you dont hear everyday. A heavier exhaust messes with the tounge weight capacity of the hitch on your s2k!

 

i had a t1r 63mm with NO test pipe...gosh the drone was horrible. The power gain was awesome, i gotta admit. The low end torque it gained was top. Went back to stock exhaust, hated the loss of power so i reinstalled, got pissed of drone, reinstalled stock. Now im happy rolling quietly, still searching for a new exhaust, maybe a J's FX 60RS...since its very quiet below 6K

 

O rly?

FX 60RS and the regular 60RS and two different exhausts?

 

the 60rs fx is the new revised version of the 60rs that is supposed to take care of the resonator rattle issue some owners of the 60rs had

 

the T1R 70 EM Dual isnt even that loud compared to other exhausts out there, especially for one that has great power gains to it.

 

You should definitely hear a Comptech exhaust in person- fitment is perfect and OEM-like, sound level is mild with a good quality of sound, fits with the Chase Race hitch, looks very stock at the tips, etc. When I was sound checked at Calabogie the guys were laughing at me because I was the only car that was louder at the front than the rear (CAI). If anything, it could be a little louder.
