Hey guys, just wondering how many of you own a Spoon b-pipe and are currently having problems with the resonator rattling. Thanks

 

Yep! Mine rattled as I removed it from da box, yes, it was new
However, it does'nt make noise at 8500 RPMs

 

The consesous is that some do and some don't.

 

mine rattles too.

 

did any of you guys contact Spoon about it? Is it a major defect that will affect flow? Thanks for the quick replies.

 

I don't think it affects flow at all. When I grabbed the "S" end of the B-pipe the rattle quit, indicating that the rear portion is placed to far inside the resinator.

mikehonda: who is disappointed with spoon quality control

 

hmmm that helps make my mind up on getting the spoon headers b-pipe and n1 rearaxle muffler for my itr

 

I believe Alan @ A&J put it best when I spoke to him about getting a Spoon B-pipe: "It is not a question of if the b-pipe will start rattling - its a question of when .. Get the T1R!"

 

my spoon b-pipe rattles *only* when driving hard. i got mine the same time as mikehawnder and it seems his was "worse". in the end, it seems that batch of b-pipes were poorly made.

no noise - driving like ms. daisy
noise - driving like gansan

kepani-who silently thanks 'hawnder for the *good* one.

T1R rattles too?

 

I didn't have the Spoon b pipe on my car for long, but it did not rattle at all while it was in use.

yeah especially close to the muffler

 

hmm..now i'm caught in the middle. I was thinking about getting the spoon b-pipe until i heard about the problems. I then thought about the T1R b-pipe, but now it seems either pipe would rattle. I contacted aj-racing and they said the new batch of T1Rs dont rattle and fit perfect, but how can i know this for sure? You guys know of any other b-pipes? I have a spoon n1 axle back waiting to be installed, im just trying to find the perfect b-pipe.

 

Stock b-pipe with the bottlenecks removed.

 

Any idea how much would it cost to have the bottlenecks removed as well as a reputable place where it can be done?

 

does anybody know if a vision b pipe is the same as spoon?

 

ben and alan aren't liars they'll tell you the truth about their products

:edit: spelling

 

Mine's has never rattled. I've had it for over 2 yrs.....
