Yeah I thought about that haha! Why do you have to go and burst my bubble though?

Hahahahaha awesome! I've got Allstate!

Nice clip pemex! So is yours still a dual? Sounds mean! I think mine has a bit of a deeper tone, but then again I'm on a phone. It doesn't do it any jurist I'm sure.

Wow that looks good Mike! I have stock mid piping and was thinking of doing the same exact thing. How much did something like this cost you if you don't mind me asking! Or just Facebook message me lol
Thanks John! It was $108

What exhaust are you running? I remember you were selling one a while back...

I have a Greddy TIC right now, maybe I'll go straight pipe like yours haha

I was selling the Buddy Club specIII but I traded my friend for his TIC since he wanted something louder and I wanted something quieter ahaha

Oh ok cool. Well, im not sure if mine would be considered a straight pipe since I still have the stock cat and resonator in place.

A true straight pipe would be ridiculous! Haha! Especially on the street. I have heard of guys needing ear plugs on the track. I don't want that haha. I cant wait to drive to work in the morning! I have only driven a little bit so far!

lol yeah, but it sounds so crazy on the track haha!

What's the likelihood you could get that same shop to fab up that rear section and have it shipped to me and I can get a local friend to cut and weld it on? As far as a straightpipe goes this has to be the best looking one I've seen by far.

Alright everyone.....here's my version. I had the same guy work his magic that did 09S2k's.

I doubt that it's louder that 95db. Honestly, when I'm in VTEC I can't tell if I'm hearing my exhaust or my CAI. So it really isn't 'titanium-single-pipe-loud'.

Like I mentioned above it's loud when you get on it, but the drone that you have in other single pipe cat-backs just aint there (like Megan's drift spec...sorry SuperchargedS2k ). This is due to the retention of the OEM resonators and the OEM cat.... Case in point: In the video I cruise at 3,000rpm(ish) from 3:04-3:18, then I blip the throttle. It's really quiet while holding a steady pace....But then just "give it the beans"!

Enjoy everyone!!!

Very low likeihood. He had both Michael and I get under the car and adjust exacty where we wanted the tip to exit... It's something that's best done with the car in the shop.
