Taitec GT009 vs GTLW with test pipes

[blacksfnsx]

Does anyone have any experiences with both exhausts. I love my GT 009 but I had to loose my rear valence (02+) which I really like as well. I am contemplating switching to the GTLW with Test pipes. Is this exhaust high pitched in the upper rpms like the Gt 009? I am not a fan of the Taitec Diffuser otherwise I would get it and call it a day.

Is there anyone in the Bay Area running this exhaust with test pipes that I could meet up with.

Thanks.

I had the center exit GTLW with test pipes and then I went with the high flow cats from Random just to tone it down. I had a comptech SC and my car was LOUD and the GTLW droned. I liked the sound, I also had a taitec JGTC center-exit that I had on the car originally and although slighly heavier I liked the sound better and it did not drone. So I sold the GTLW and went back to by JGTC

Ha! no wonder you never sent me the pictures of your bumper, i ended up buying the taitec valence. But i heard the center its pretty loud. Good luck on your search.

hahah - Nico you are right. I tried to modify the rear valence but it came out looking bad. I thought about the Taitec valence but I need to see it in person to make a decision.

Send me some pics of your car with the Taitec Valence. I am sure it looks great.

in regard to the other person the Taitec center exit sounds noticeablely different than the single side exit that I have. That is good info in regard to the GTLW and the drone.

I still think that the GT 009 sounds amazing and I really do not want to loose the sound but I need to figure something out with my rear valence. If anyone has any pics or imput it would be appreciated.

Well sucks to say but the prime member that i had a deal with back on me and sold the diffuser to another member, seems like some members don't know how to respect a deal so now I'm in the hunt for another one. I saw a Df diffuser for sale but i never seen one installed on a car. Whenever i find a diffuser ill send you some pictures. Nico

BluryNSX is local and has the GTLW center exit / no cats / Taitec diffuser combo. I forget whether he has headers or not. He doesn't make it out as much anymore but that's one guy to check out for sound.

Dahlsim is semi-local and comes out more often and has a custom one-off exhaust with the DF diffuser (Taitec copy) if you want to check out just the look of the valence.

Whatever you do, don't sell your GT009 until I get to hear it! It's one that I've been wanting to hear for years now :smile:

If your exhaust is super loud, you three should have a contest to see who's loudest (both of theirs SCREAM!).
