Straight Pipe

ChopsJazz · 9 February 2006

nsxnitro, you got a lot of differing advice here. Some of it helpful, some of it not. But a few of us simply asked, why?

How about an answer? Why?

i was glad to see this post, I recently discovered a bad cat converter on my 2000 FI NSX and was gonna do away with the cats atleast the set that is bad. Will it be that much louder getting rid of the one set?

If you want to here what a f/i nsx sounds like w/o a cat and all test pipes i will be glad to post it for you. i will make sure its sounds as close as it does in real life. just pm me or leave a message here.

the only downside is that a sport bike makes a high pitched noise due to the high rpms, and a six cylinder NSX sounds like an overweight wrestler who ate way too many beans for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and let it all go at the same time.

I have straight pipes on the track car, for weight purposes only. It does make rev matching much easier though

rasir_x....can you post the video/sound clip? I'd like to hear it.

I agreed with you, NO comparison to superbike but I just like the way it sounds, Can you post some sound clips? Thanks

Glad to hear everything worked out. In the event your light does come on, pull the clock fuse for 30 seconds under the hood. It sometimes takes a reset to adjust when going from OEM.

Hmm... perhaps now that you have your test pipes in, as a next project we can have you remove & plug your EGR valve, and install a fuel dump so as to not cut the fuel on upshifts..

I'm sure those are about as equally popular "mods" with the masses..

:wink:

nsxnitro,

Did you replace your cats with straight pipes while still using the muffler, or did you put straight pipes after the header/manifold all the way back with no muffler? If it's the later then I'd like to hear it.

rasir_x · 18 February 2006

I will do it tommorow on sunday. It started snowing last night when i left downtown and almost put it into a light pole when i hit some icy patch going 10 mph. traction control came on and the back end started moving out from behind me. missed by an inch from the driver front and a few inches in the rear didn't hit anything though. snow should be clean on sunday so i may take it out weather permitting.

So William< How was the sound bro??? pretty nice =)

rasir_x · 27 February 2006

Here is the sound clips first one is the engine reving parked with the microphone outside the car. The second is a road test with the microphone inside the car. Sorry the microphone picked up a cell phone call in the middle of the second recording. The car has a supercharger, air box, headers, test pipe, and exhaust. All from comptech. Right click and save as.

I plan on getting the CTSC this summer but wanted to install test pipes on my 00 NSX. Anyone know the power gain on all motor. I know on FI power is pretty high.
