We did the a SoS nav pod in our car too and utilized the LCD for our Surround Eye 360-degree camera system that gives complete visibility around the car. Excellent for entering driveways and parking spots!
Not really. The AEM setup we have might be the loudest, most pronounced sounding NSX exhaust I've ever heard. Definitely not conservative sounding when you can clearly hear it take off when you're a 1/8th of a mile behind it on the highway. But, yes, for the tips, we'd want to keep it...
AEM is a sponsor of the build and they wanted to take a crack at the exhaust for us. Overall, the sound and performance we're getting from it is pretty decent, but your points are certainly valid. We haven't tried dynoing the car with a Prime-tested and approved exhaust system on it yet, but...
Hey Prime, we had world-famous drift photographer Larry Chen do a professional shoot of our car at the Hoonigan Donut Garage in Long Beach, CA. What do you think of the end result of our build?
AEM Hooks it up with One-of-a-kind Intake and Exhaust System
Hey guys, I'm sure you're all curious what we decided to do for intake and exhaust on the SC3.2 Swap in our 91. Well, the guys at AEM blueprinted the CTSC 3.2 install and created a one-of-a kind 3D printed intake system made of...
The Clarion Builds NSX Gets Major Interior Overhaul!
As many, if not all, of us can agree the NSX was great for many reasons and the factory interior was certainly on that list. However, after 25 years of being a daily driver our NSX was in dire need of an interior makeover to freshen things up...

Clarion Builds 91 NSX Gets Super Charged NA2 6spd Upgrade
To freshen things up a bit and to make the car a bit more potent, the guys at AutoWave (@dynomike) ditched our high-mileage 3.0 liter for a freshened up NA2 3.2 DOHC VTEC V6 that they had laying around and capped it with a CT...
Thanks Rick! Thank you for knocking out one mean looking wheel and for taking the time to properly match the leather colors with our fresh interior. It looks amazing! Once we get the new wheel and CF door inserts installed we will be posting a bunch of interior pics along with a video.
You guys are right, sorry to throw you off on that. its not 2" its 0.25 inches wider than OE. I just confirmed with DF who supplied them.

Yes, just a test fit. The panels were removed and sent to Leatherseats.com to have them wrapped in new leather.

When new, the NSX was a technological masterpiece, though with 25 years having passed since this car was new, we thought it would be a great idea...
I believe the main advantage of this type of dyno is that it can handle higher amounts of horsepower, but @dynomike at AutoWave would be a much better source for the info.

Sorry for the delay in responding, between the build and getting it ready for its unveiling, we've...

The guys at AutoWave in Huntington Beach, California begin tearing down the Clarion Builds 1991 Acura NSX to prep the body for paint. While at it, they also dropped the tired 3.0 liter DOHC VTEC V6 out from underneath the car to make room for something a little wilder. For a car with 230K+ miles...

No problem! We have much more pics and video to share as we kick off the build! How about maybe kicking things off with a dyno pull video? Having an NSX with 230k+ on the clock, it would be cool to see just how many horses are...
