The new-NEW ANYTIME install
Okay, here's the update. As most of you know by now, I was the first person to install the ANYTIME exhaust other than ANYTIME himself. You also know we had a few problems (see earlier in thread). I have to say that ANYTIME (John) went out of his way to rectify the issues that needed to be resolved. He has spent 2 years putting this project together, and I'm sure he won't be retiring in the south of France because of it.
He simply wanted to produce a great looking and sounding exhaust AND provide a lifetime warranty for all installations, including forced induction. Thus, he didn't want to see the project wash away because of some laborers' incompetence in the assembly of the first production run. John can fill you in on all the troubles he had should he wish.
Okay, the report. I am happy...very happy. Sounds great. Looks great. Quality materials, etc. On the first install, I welded in an O2 bung, and I think that John has decided to put this on all exhausts.
Sound: Well, it's not the screaming banshee that I was use to from the original install. Let's put it this way, I can't tell any difference whatsoever from the OEM exhaust with the windows up. That might partly be because of the induction noise I hear because of the K&N. Outside the car you can tell it's not stock, but it is not loud by any means. Science of speed has described the exhaust as having a metallic baritone pitch, which I think is a good way to describe it. So, I now agree with the
SOS comparison, and concur that it might be just a bit louder than the Comptech at WOT. You can hear sound clips at the
ANYTIME web. Just click on "Movies" to hear them.
Summary: If you are looking for a very nice exhaust, with a lifetime warranty for any NSX application, give this one a shot. I think you will be very pleased.

BTW, the O2 bung is above horizontal. I think the camera angle was playing tricks. However, there would be nothing wrong with it being mounted a few more degrees towards vertical.
Additionally: I did not know John before this purchase any more than I did the man on the moon. IOW, there's nothing in it for me to give a great report.
