Search seems to be not working so I just thought I'd throw the question out there.

I know exhaust discussions have been beaten to death here, but I still need an answer. I'm replacing my exhaust, I already have headers (4:1) and a CAI. I've narrowed it down to Fujitsubo, spoon or Mugen. I'm leaning towards spoon as it is light weight. But I heard that it is just too damn loud even with the silencer. I'm looking at this model

Tail Silencer Street Type INTEGRA TYPE-R DC2 18030-DC2-000

The question I have is will cops drive me nuts, or is it tolerable with the silencer pre VTEC?

Thanks.

 

Cops here don't bother me with the BCIII ... but they ticketed me for tinted windows

Never heard of Tail Silencer before.

But you do have a spoon cat back? Are you happy with it? Any advice would be awesome.

The dude at my local performance shop said to skip the b-pipe and just go axle back....

 

I have the BCIII w/ 4-1 & test pipe.

But about your spoon muffler : https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=968670

Sure, maybe it's "50 state" legal, but I wouldn't be surprised if counties/cities/townships have their own Noise ordinances.

I guess you pulled the tint

 

The Spoon Street Exhaust is quiet. It's the Spoon N1 that's loud. N1 is lighter though. HTH.

 

is the street still a bit louder than stock?

 

I did, but for the front windows only. the backs are legal.

When I come across some money, I'll be re-tinting the fronts a shade lighter to be more legal.

 

In terms of quietest to loudest:

-chambered (World Sport, stock, etc)
-twin-loop/twin-pass (ExMag, Hytech, Mugen)
-cannister (N1, Fujitsubo, T1R)


In terms of best flow to worst flow:

-cannister
-twin-loop/twin-pass
-chambered


The best trade-off is obviously the twin-loop, like the Mugen. It flows well and is relatively quiet. If you're looking for something reasonably priced that is quiet, look at the Apexi World Sport 2 or RS*R ExMag. Having had both of these on my GS-R, I can say that they're VERY streetable.

Should you take the route of a cannister exhaust (fart can), make sure it has a silencer. The fart cans are loud as ****, and buzz like marbles in a tin can at high-RPM.

I'm currently running the T1R SPL exhaust. It's loud, but not quite as bad as the normal T1R system. But 2.5" diameter =

Depends on what model fujitsubo... RM-01A I heard was definitely quieter than my hytech twinloop... although it does come at a premium.

 

Yes, the RM-01A is pretty quiet. It is a big in terms of cannister mufflers so that definitely helps.

Also make sure that you have a resonator on the system for additional sound deadening. Won't hurt performance.

 

thanks fellas. I think I'm going with the Spoon Street.
