with hytech having a 2 month wait I started to use the search button and found the spoon sports exhaust street application may be what i need. Since i currently run an apexi full catback, ive got a 60.5mm b-pipe so it should bolt up to the street exhaust by spoon no problems. i'm not 100% sure of that, but i can get it come close or bring it to a muffler shop.
while i wont see much gains, im hoping for a good sound and a quality exhaust. next on my agenda, is who to purchase this from. choices that i found through searchign are AJ racing, IPS, and OPAK . Seems IPS has prob the best feedback from buyers, but they were for smaller dollar items, can i go wrong with service from etiher of these 3?

 

Mike at IPS provides great service

I would also look into the Fujitsubo RM01A, it is very quiet and actually provides modest gains. Looks clean as well.

 

92typer, just wondering if you ever dynoed the rm01a against another exhaust, and what gains did you get? tnx

I have never personally dyno'ed the RM01A, but I have seen a dyno in this forum, gains were respectable, roughly 5hp in the midrange and 8-9 peak.

I did a before/after dyno on my car with a JDM 4-1/T1R catback. The Fujitsubo RM-01A is similar in design to the T1R, but has a second resonator, and is 62mm vs 65mm.

i think what draws me to the spoon is the oem look. when i visited my hometown i got a ticket for modified muffler, $90 bucks. i was going 50 in 5th. so it was just a cop seeing the exhaust is all it took. so i think this is a good choice for me. plus hwy commutes will be quiet from now on. yeah i'lll prob go with ips.

 

hytech is the way to go if you want the oem look. i love how the tip looks just like a bigger version of the oem itr exhaust tip. here's a pix of mines

 

Fuji FTW!!!

 

hytech does look good. i've got a 2 hr road trip this weekend to austin. i think after hearing the exhaust on the hwy i will come back next week and order the spoon prob. i think it looks good too.

 

I recently installed a Fujisubo on my caR.

 

Fujitsubo!! See sig if interested.

you have a pm regarding a spoon axle back and T1R b-pipe.

 

 

I hope you understand that the Spoon street muffler for the DC2 has a pretty large bottleneck in it. I would rather use an OEM ITR muffler.
