How does it sounds
Is any good ?

(did search but only the wheel show up)

 

:holds ears:

Will
-who thinks that chit is t00 loud

 

not just will, but i think that most of us at vir will agree.

 

I was wondering the same thing. Looks nice, i wonder what kind of gains you can expect from one? I would think it would be a safe bet to say that it is loud.

 

How does the loudness compare with the Spoon N1??

 

I haven't heard one personally....
but I wouldn't doubt it is probably one of the loudest if not THE loudest other than open header...

it has.... one resonator....and has NO muffler....

RagingTenshi who is still seriously considering it for his track only setup....

 

Very loud. close to open header loud. anytime the blue si was on the same third or the track as I was I couldn't hear my instructor, car, anything. I did seem to be pointing him by a lot but that had more to do with my lack of skill then the buddy club exhaust.

 

The Buddy Club is WAYYYYY louder.

which Spec are you guy's talkin' about, have any of u heard spec III

Call up AJ-Racing and ask them how loud the Buddy Club is. I assume all of you are referring to the Spec I and II that don't use a muffler.

I have the spec II, but I haven't installed it yet because my car is still in winter storage. You'll hear a full report in about a month or so.

 

what size diameter is the pipe? is it made for usdm or jdm? thanks

 

Just looking at it, it must be freaking LOUD.

 

Its not going to be US spec normally all Japanese exhaust sys are 60mm to 60.5 mm dia sizing.

The Spec 3 is 60.5 mm dia. The Spec 3 is the only one really made for everyday and track driving and can be had with insert silencer.

Spec 1 and 2 are only ment for racing circuits and do have silencers to meet certain road course dB limits.

 

so you guys have to cut some length off the b pipe or cat??

 

You can either modify US spec cat or use a Vision or JIC hi flow cat with O2 bungs and these are perefect if your using a Spoon or J spec exhaust manifold already. You can also use JDM honda spec cat but to me why spend that same amount of money for lesser Cat. If your going all out race most companies make there own test pipes as well. There are few other companies that make Hi flow cats but I can't remember them right off hand. I believe trust, RSR and HKS also do or atleast use to.

 

Which one are talking about ? Spec-I , Spec-II or Spec-III ?

 

Well, it is LOUD, but I have some that are running it daily. Blue POS and SpoondEG. We will use the setup on the H1 car, but NOT at Summit Point. The Spec II definitely does sing! Diameter is 60.5 and thank goodness, a silencer is included for date nights. Typically, exhaust is about 3 to 3.5 inches longer than US spec, so a mod'd cat or straight pipe is required. Should I get some digital files?

 

buddy club rox your nads. intimidation factor alone is cool. i love mine.

Taka Kaira has the Spec 1's at about $290 ..... it sure as hell doesn't cost $150 to ship an exhaust here!!!
