i just got the n1 on my R, and it is LOOUUDDD... anybody have the silencer?? or heard about it??

 

yeah I had a silencer on my N1 before and it did quiet it down alittle bit but it is still pretty loud.

 

was it worth buying??

 

i have a silencer..the OG nice one.
$30 if you want it...bought it brand new in japan for like 50-60 bucks
email me if you want it: n1ek@hotmail.com

 

I wouldn't pay the $70 for the spoon silencer but I would get the cheaper generic ones. I never really put the silencer on becuase it would restrict the flow and that would be counter to the reason why you put on a aftermarket muffler to begin with.

 

I dont like my silencer it makes the car sound nasty imo. But it does bring the volume down nicely.

 

have any of you dynoed it? how much hp if you did, with and without it??

 

It will more than likely bring you back to what you were at before the exhaust or could be worst than stock.

 

cork it for the street

uncork it on the track

you WILL lose power, for sure.

 

i had it...put it on for the drive down to VIR
it made such a big difference that i didn't even notice that it fell out until i got to the track and was getting ready to remove it

 

When you say LOUD!!!! Do you mean ALL the time or just when you STEP ON IT?

If you use the Silencer I am SURE it will not put you back to STOCK performance cause it is Still a Straight through design. The Silencer doesn't restrict the air flow that much. Spoon Silencer is about 50 bux.



I personally have never used one nor have I heard what the car sounds like with it in. Is it one of those motorscooter or weedwacker sounding things? I REALLY CAN'T stand that noise.

 

I put the silencer in my N1 one time. I couldn't stand it. Mine also fit like crap and rattled at idle.

 

It WILL put you back to stock if not worse. It hinders performance in more ways than you imagine.

Sure it is still straight through but all the air flow is not blocked by the silencer.

 

I've wanted to hear one for sooooooo long, anyone have sound clips of it? (without silencer)

 

when i mean "LOUD" i mean LOUD... when i let off the gas, and more when i put it on, i cant even hear the radio or anybody talk when were in my car, but good hp and tr

 

I think a larger resonator will quiet it down more.

with a better sound.
All the N1's I have heard have been deep toned and when you step on it then it gets LOUD.
Hmmmm I am wondering if I should re think.... You have the Spoon Bpipe also right?

 

man i got one coming for my gsr and i was told it wasnt that loud. from what i read and told "it is pretty quiet till about 4-5k" and when vtec kicks in is when you notice it. but this makes me rethink about the purchase. just getting the axle back for now. no-b-pipe

PlikityPLAH so what b-pipe do you have? stock?

 

stock b-pipe, just an axle back, will that matter??, and how much will the resinater queit it down??

 

The silencer is not worh to buy....

unless you like not getting busted.
Spoon N1 is loud for a street driven car. Without my silencer I would have been ticketed in CA no doubt.
