While trying to sell my spoon n1 i was offered a trade for a t1r axleback. Since my car isnt stock i could realy use the 2.5" piping vs. the spoon 60mm.. and my midpipe is even bigger at 70mm so even though i like the way the spoon looked i realy needed something bigger. So i just got it in the mail and had nothing better to do so i threw it on..
i cant recall his h-t user name but thanks to jiho yang form GA, you should be getting you spoon n1 in the mail real soon . very good guy and gets my vouch and i should have my first offical h-t vouch since i dont deal alot of business on here thanks to those few people who have to ruin it for all of us.. only snapped a couple pics since i was in a hurry.

BEFORE..


AFTER..









i am pretty happy with how it looks.. inside the car the noise level is not bad at all.. hopefully i get a friend to take it around the block so i can hear how loud it is coming down the street..

 

Had the T1R exhaust on my ek.. by far the best exhaust i ever had.

 

good trade...

lookin good too..

 

spoon n1's are 2.5

 

yes but they dont have a flat flange which means a donut gasket has to be used.. which basicaly has the same result of a bottleneck. which doesnt make it a true 2.5" axleback.. plus i tried a few diff donut gaskets and none worked correct with the 2.5" axleback and 2.75" midpipe so i was getting a leak..

 

thats because your running a bigger b pipe then your rear section, thats even worse then having a bottle neck


you should have kept your spoon n1 and just get a type 1 b pipe, its 2.5 and they use a donut gasket flange that whould bolt up perfect to the spoon n1

 

how do they use a donut gasket flange on their b pipe when the t1r axleback is a flat flange.. i still have the original 2.75" axleback but its way too loud..

i plan to get the t1r resonated test pipe and b pipe eventually.. or sell the axleback and get a full hytech tl if the noise gets too much to handle.. but driving it once it seems fine inside the car.. i guess once i have someone drive it and me listen i will determine weather its going to attract some unwanted police attention..

 

type 1 and t1r are different companie, t1r is a side company of a&j racing, type 1 is side company of spoon sports


are you n/a? if so why do you have such a big mid pipe?

 

its n/a putting down roughly 220whp range..

 

thats still a big b pipe for a series

but hey if your happy thats all that matters


i say you go with the hytech twinloop like you said that whould be best

 

if this one gets to be too loud for me then ill throw on the stock catback for the time being until i can get the hytech.. wheels are a big #1 on the list to get before i worry about other things..

 

2.75" is ideal for anything more than a mild 1.8L, in fact, many would argue 3" would be ideal for 2.0L setups.

Looks good.

BTW T1R has a limited production 70mm catback right now, comes with a resonated testpipe as well.

Type-One is actually Spoon's garage/shop. No Type-One products exist besides the orange sticker. They're located 5 minutes from eachother, but if you go to Spoon's "headquarters", its a bunch of office equipment and a couple floors of storage. Type-One is where all the cars are worked on.

 

hell yeah man that looks way good! feel a power difference? probably not with that much power already haha.
I beleive its the 1st gen T1R b pipes that used donut gaskets, i have a T1R midpipe and its flat flanged

your car is super sick, love the m3 races

 

i just put a T1R on my 98 this weekend, i love it

 

im glad you like it. my name is brian by the way

 

haha.. why does your email say jiho yang?? i was trying to find my pm's on here from you and just post your member name.. but i guess they already expired and i couldnt find your name.. anyway a good person to deal with.. put a lot of trust in me with this deal and dont worry the spoon is gona be out in a couple days.. ill email you the info once i get it..

i think its something among the type r community that we have a certain trust with eachother.. which i thought was pretty cool that you let me recieve the exhaust and switch them out then send you mine since for a couple more weeks this is my daily driver..

as far as any power difference.. just with a quick ride from my moms where the garage is and back to my apartment i could tell a difference. i think the incorrect donut gasket and the leak had somehting to do with that.. i think you should have better luck since your midpipe isnt as big.

I don't think I'll ever understand how exhaust works. I don't even run a 3" exhaust on my 6.0.

 

dcash13, which do you prefer now that you have had the chance to own the new one.
