The exhaust isn't loud for a single, especially when you keep the cat.

Now just remember to put on some heat tape to prevent the bumper from melting. A little common sense goes a long way.
make sure its really secure and can't swing right into the bumper. the exhaust swung and melted itself onto my bumper.


i had to get a new T1R cuz my first broke. For my second one I secured it
with an extra hanger.

I had the version 1 tip and I loved it. I think it looks more "natural", that the blue had developed over time from the heat.

I believe the T1R is now available with the V1 tip again brand new

I own the T1R cat back exhaust, without the test pipe. I decided to sell the test pipe because I needed to pass emissions and did not want my car to stink like skunk.

From what I have learned from other s2ki enthusiasts on this forum, the test pipe will amplify the dB of your exhaust note. Thus, to answer your interrogation, leave the test pipe off if you are paranoid of Cops pulling your over.

Overall, I give this immaculate exhaust .

if when the T1R is exhaust, you have to make sure it doesn't have too much slack from the hangers to allow it to swing into the passenger side part of the bumper.

i had an extra hanger installed because it swung into my bumper and stuck to it becuase the exhaust tip was soo hot and the bumper is cheap plastic.


i heard there is a chemical that will polish the blue tip out. i want to find this product so the exhaust tip matches my sebring color.
