Default Import Development N1-Street exhaust FINALLY ready!

I don't have any installed pics, nor do I have any dyno charts. The original N1-Street prototype (many SoCal members have seen it and commented on it) on my S2000 made some power, but of course like every dyno chart I had before it was disputed like crazy so I won't even bother. Weighs almost exactly 20 pounds with the silencer insert (~1 pound). When all the testing is done I will need to blow a batch out at very low price points - I have factory contractual agreement (minimal orders) I need to follow in order to mass produce this at reasonable price, so I hope we can get a good amount of orders. If not then this project dies

The N1-Racing exhaust can be had for much higher price because that's custom made each time.





We will offer a one year no questions asked warranty (exchange) against worksmanship, rust, etc. (user installation error and abuse excluded, of course) free of charge - as long as you pay to ship back the defective one (I need it to claim credit with our factory).

Randy will do tests, installs, videos, etc. when he receives it sometime next week.

I hope the price point, reduction in weight (saves 30+ pounds!), looks, performance, and sound will all play into your decision to get this exhaust.

Details will follow soon. Post any questions you may have and I will try to answer them.

how loud do you want that wail to be?

N1-Racing will probably make your ears bleed
N1-Street will be more subdued (dual cannisters).

N1-Racing: J's/Spoon's loud is NOTHING compared to the ear splitting howl of the N1-Racing. It's a complete single straight pipe with a 7" small diameter muffler (might as well not be there since it really doesn't "muffle"). Some people REALLY like it loud, and I mean race car loud.

N1-Street PROTOTYPE (final product is sitting in my living room as you see it on the pic): louder than stock of course. more "bassy", smooth deep throaty sound throughout the range, but not enough to get pulled over. Silencer option (included free) gives you almost stock noise levels, but you do lose some power.

Less than $500, shipped (lower 48 states - and maybe Canada too, we'll have to see). Final price depends on the order size of course, but there's a minimum I need to order, so I hope we can achieve at least break-even point with majority of the order.
