Import Development (Mingster's) N-1 racing exhaust installed!
Well it finally arrived today. I come pulling into the driveway and my eyes light up like a kid at Christmas, my exaust is here. Immediately I tear into it. The workmanship of it is superb. Excellent welds and a very pretty stainless steal piping. I believe it is right around 8lbs, very light. The tip was not near as big as I expected it to be. I thought it was going to be very rice but it looks very nice. But Good Lord it looked loud just laying there. Being as impatient as I am I immediately go out to the car to work on installing this bad boy.
After a can of WD-40 and a little cursing it was on and ready to go (Damn, the S2k open piped is one pissed off sounding machine).
IT IS LOUD!!!!!! When I first emailed Mingster asking about it he told me about the noise. Well folks, you will literally hear this coming from a half mile away. My ears are still ringing.
However, I love it! The growl it makes at idle is so badass that it makes Vette's sound quiet. You think you have a big block under the hood. It is extremely deep. 3k-5k rpms are a tough range to be in. The droning is unbearable at times but you soon learn how to shift around it. 2k-3k is nice and 5k-6k quiets down a lot also. Make no mistake about it thought IT IS LOUD!
What makes it all worthwhile though is VTEC. I can't even begin to explain how awesome it sounds. The exhaust actually quiets and you do sound like a massive sport bike. I liked VTEC with my AEM intake, I love VTEC with Mingster's exhaust.
My ears are ringing but I have a grin from ear to ear. This exhaust is definately not for everyone but if you can't hear I highly recommend it If Satan owned an S2000 this is the exhaust he would have. I love it, I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a single but a word or advice first...Invest in Miracle Ear
All those N-1 style exhausts are L O U D but they sound awesome.
Your telling me. Advil will be a new addition to my secret compartment Do they ever sound sweet though, nothing matches it. It also pulls much harder through VTEC. Very noticable improvement
