I want to get the Invidia single cat back exhaust system for my S. I've heard from a lot of people that it's a great exhaust, just really loud. So, if I decide to put the silencer in, will I lose a noticeable amount of HP if any?

 

Use the search function.

 

lots of ppl will say oh you lose hp blah blah blah. there's hardly a diff with my silencer. plus at the times my silencer is in I'm not gonna b rip roarin around anyways so who cares

 

If you're not loosing hp than the bigger exhaust wasn't gaining you any. The silencer is a restricter, there is no debate that it causes hp loss. Whether or not it affects your setup is the question. I agree about cruising though. No need for max hp day to day.

 

Silencers

 

Yes, you'll lose a few HP. Driving around town this isn't really noticeable. What IS noticeable is the fact that you're no longer shouting over your own exhaust and law enforcement isn't watching you so closely.

My feeling is that you should leave silencers in for DD, and pop them out when racing.


I had a T1R system on my old Integra and it felt no different with the silencer in versus out. The butt dyno is not very reliable anyways.

 

exactly, my neighbors still like me bc if i know i'm doing any early morning or late night driving in the subdivision i make sure the silencers are in. but during the day is 95% out

 

I run the Invidia 70mm single with Invidia 70mm TP
Ive never considered putting the silencer in

From what I understand most systems only lose a couple horsepower but the butt dyno usually says different

 

My silencers fell out..., Invidia dual catback..., I don't care!

 

or did you blow them out?
