Default T1R 70R Sparrow Installed

Installed my T1R 70R Sparrow exhaust today at Justin's place



jacking up the car



justin trying out my sony DSLR



car's up! ready to remove the huge steel exhaust that's 50lbs+



the cracked tip



damn, nasty



brand new exhaust laid on the ground



sealed titanium tip .



Justin unwrapping the 70mm test pipe to put o2 simulator on.



another pic of wrapped exhaust



Alright, let's run the car :eyes:



justin's ride



his gf's ride. yummy cf doors.



Exhaust on! perfect fitment.



unwrapping the pipe (pretty damn straight)



justin working hard to put the exhaust on. definitely a tough job without a hoister. at least it was much easier taking off the stock exhaust



me doing the last unwrapping ceremony.



removing the seal of ti tip. face hidden due to the retarded smile.



hmmmm.... yummy



remove that silencer!!



silencer off.


Overall thought:
FREAKING RIDICULOUS LOUD, but I love it. Sounds very aggressive, and above 6k rpm when vtec kicks in, it's orgasmic. On the way to home, I tried very hard to think of excuses how I could explain to my gf. There's literally no way she won't notice, like my side diffusers she never noticed. The best answer so far is "hey babe, this exhaust is so loud that it makes me shift early to avoid the drone, resulting in a very safe driving habit."

Anyways, next are the rims. considering volk/work/advan, but no idea about the model yet. damn the spending...

Nice Vic. You should've gotten this done earlier and come to the Stonehenge with us. Leaving the Stonehenge we travelled through a series of mini-tunnels and everyone was making a lot of noise!

not a fan of it myself, but i can appreciate the feeling of a new part and the sound of a nonstock exhaust.

cheers

ya, I do think not everyone will like this exhaust mainly due to loudness. Curious as to why u don't like this one, is it because of the noise also?

I wonder how loud this is compared to 63mm sparrow... would be interesting to hear side by side.

I don't think I could stand an exhaust that drones all the time!
