Default Spoon N1...

Hey guys, how much louder is the Spoon N1 than the Apex N1? I am sick of the attention from police, and want an exhaust that looks somewhat like stock...

dude,
get a custom exhaust made, A LA SMSP's catback. i'm almost certain the Spoon N1 is not the answer.

Is the Spoon N1 really that much louder? From the videos I have heard it doesn't seem to be.

The Spoon N1 is not an exhaust for someone who does not want police attention.

take a video of your car. then watch it. then have a friend drive by in your car, and see if the video represents the noise level

Rob- who has taken his advice and found out videos dont do squat but take up space.

my friend just took his spoon exhaust off his car and replaced it with his stock muffler, just shows how the loud noise can get to you.

I've heard that for some people videos help the time go by when work is slow... or when you don't feel like working.

Once again, I've only heard that some people do that.

He can put a stock exhaust tip on his muffler which is painted black. 2.5" OD, optional SS, and a complete sleeper, what more could you ask for?

just the question i was looking for. that's why i will probably get the type one exhaust.. even though i don't want super loud, i can tolerate the type one. i like deeep tones more than high pitched pingy sounds. custom.. is.. unfortunatley very expensive

Scroll down to the middle of the page. George Knighton aka "Grandpa" is running the SMSP Exhaust.

Just F it and run the spoon. I'm pretty sure Norcal cops are just as bitchy as Socal cops. Run a silencer with it and be done with it.

With the silencer, it was just released this year.... do the latest Spoon N1s have the hole to fit the silencer or do you have to drill it yourself?
