Default which is louder inside & out ?

Invidia with silencers or Spoon N1 with silencers..

Here's my story:

I currently have the Spoon N1 single exit, with silencer. However local law enforcement are becoming real pests and stopping me far too frequent with my Spoon. Three times in the last two weeks.. The last two times they both told me it was ILLEGAL which of course I disputed.

I am contemplating but really do not want to commit to going the quieter more expensive Mugen route.. as Invidia is where my heart is.. I just love the sound over my Spoon.

so does anyone have any experience of knowing if inside/outside the cockpit , the invidia is louder ?

My reasoning is that I really do not want law enforcement to dictate my tastes. But at the same time, I don't want anything louder that the spoon as inside without silencers, my ears bust.. I use the silencer 100% of the time..

thx for reading

Take a look at the Fujitsubo. It's in the same price range as the Invidia. People are saying that it's not nearly as loud. I have the Spoon, and I love it(without a silencer). I have to get rid of mine also. Just too much hasle driving in everyday life. My neighbors hate me, the cops hate me, and I think I'm going tone def. They just dropped the price on the Amuse! It's always an option.

Dude, i have an invidia and have driven cars with the spoon N1 with and without the silencers. BY A LONGSHOT, the spoon is WAAAAAAAAAY louder. After a few minutes driving a spoon equipped car, my head was ringing. Put it this way, the Spoon with the silencer in, sounds like the invidia with the silencers out.

i also have the invidia ...just put it on as a matter of fact in my opinion it is the best for the money and has the best looks ....which in your case could be a bad thing,the look may draw futher law enforcement atttaction. The spoon has a very RASPY sound as for the invidia it is a deep sound . I have noticed since the install it drowns a little bit with the silencers out (deep sounding) with the silencers in i dont think law enforcement will be an issue

hey blue, if you run a test pipe with the spoon, it will take away a lot of the droning. bigballz from Metro nyc has the spoon with the test pipe and his car got really quiet with this thing on. without the test pipe, the Spoon BOOMS way to much.

for some reason it's quiter at WOT. Kareem's spoon sounds like a sick dremel tool at WOT with the test pipe. when paul had a spoon exhaust with the vortech without the test pipe, his car sounded like a ing fighter jet.
