I picked up a Invidia N1 dual a few days ago btw haha. going to install it tomorrow. Funny that you guys mentioned it was that horrible.
it doesn't sound horrible, imo. its just way too loud to deal with all the time lol

T1R 76.3 + TP that I inherited with the purchase of the car. Sounds great and performs.

Been running an HKS dual with invidia 70mm tp for about 4 years now

Sometimes I miss the raspy bark i had with the old comptech on my rsx but i still like this. Been thinking of going with a 70mm berk for track use but track funds are at $0 at the moment.
the HKS is 60mm piping. so why are you running 70mm test pipe?? You are probably losing power..
true...was looking to upgrade to a 70mm single when i got the tp just never materialized...

will probably be throwing on a HFC soon as the s2k is going back on daily driver duty for a while.

I revved the car through the full rpm range and there was no throttle-lift rasp just smooth even tone.
wow that looks great! All the tanabe medalion tourings I have seen extend atleast another 2 inches from the stock location. Do you happen to have any more side profile pics from a further distance? how much did you pay for that and where did you purchase from?

Haha totally agree. Sounds pretty good from the outside and also when driving with the top down. But with the top up, there is just too much bass and rumble. Would like to throw a resonator on the midpipe but can't seem to find a 70mm resonator

Also in for some more pics. I absolutely love that exhaust. I am stuck between it and the single 75mm HKS hi power. I just hate having to spend even more money buying a single because it looks tacky if you leave the second opening on an ap2 bumper!
