do you ever find burnt up sound deadening material when you remove the silencer? i keep the silencer in for the street and rarely pull it out, but when i do, there is a good amount of fiberglass ashes...

 

yes... i have an apex and i see rusted metal shavings everytime i remove the silencer... i hope it wont kill the exhaust...

 

ive used mine a couple times and ive never really noticed anything....the only thing i notice is that it is a biotch to pull out so im guessing little pieces of something get in between so thats what makes it a bitch to get out

 

well my only concern is that it would get even LOUDER... but i dont think it is and my sound readings dont indicate a change... i suppose that after a while it would pose a problem...

 

loud? psh who cares jk

 

Exactly. Just pulled the silencer out of my friends 5Zigen today. A little bit of rust in there, but that was about it. It was only in for about 2 or 3 months though, only driven on weekends.

 

I didn't until the tickets started piling up. Cops with nothing better to do than harass import owners.

 

well i care... when i take long drives and end up with ringing ears and a headache, its time to care. plus, if i want loud noise, i turn up the music...

 

 

I like driving comfortably on highways, and being able to drive through residential neighborhoods at night.


Which is why I need a new muffler (still running stock pipes, stock resonator, stock cat, no muffler)

 

silencers = sounds like ****! Makes that rattleing bouncing sound...hated it!

 

Silencer for a Spoon N1 on the street is a necessity. The exhaust doesn't sound all that bad with a silencer in place and you if you go easy on the throttle you should be okay around the cops. I agree there is a disadvantage there is a slight rattling sound with the silencer in and for purists you loose power.

The Spoon N1 drones heavy at 4000-5000RPM. It is very noticeable when slowing down. It will vibrate the cabin of another car beside that's for sure.
