Thanks
nsxsupra said:There is no need to discount it. That is my actual before/after dyno graph on my Nsx, not from the vendor. Original thread here:
http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51002&highlight=taitec+dyno+result
My before/after dyno was done on sameday by Autowave which is one of the very best nsx shop in the nation. I did not get the exhaust through any of the the vendors. I purchased the exhaust in Japan from Taitec and carried it back as a luggage back to the States. It is lightweight, not too bulky without the box.
FAQ is not always 100% correct or updated, it has not been updated for years. Like I said there are miscenceptions and people believe them. Nsx are fairly rare, the amount of dyno results are never going to be as widely available as results for other cars. Don't let the misconceptions fool you. There are other good results on the forum (use the search function) for other exhausts with no header(Anytime, Flowmaster, Dali racing, etc). I can see why people would assume or believe misconceptions when they never serched for the results or experienced the actual gain..
The 25rwhp gain made a huge difference on actual driving the nsx, since it is lightweight and not a powerful car to start with. It is not easy for me to get impressed unless the gain is overwhelmingly noticeable. I am used to feeling 100rwhp~300 rwhp gains on turbo cars.
Make sure you do the before/after on your dyno session. You will be surprised with your gains.
Are you sure? I don't think you can tell until the exhaust goes on the car. I have seen a few other ARK exhausts on different NSXs and the workmanship is top notch and they all fit dead center.kclements said:Ark I just emailed you.. ..

ARKers said:Well.. If you did dyno test with ARK Exhaust system, Please provide us graph chart. So we can see it. And also need hard copy .
I know ARK exhaust made a about 12HP on Nissan 350Z & Hyundai Tiburon V6 2.7 Eng. also gave us about 10 ~ 12 hp. That is result from APEX (350Z) dyno with ARK exhaust system with 350Z... I really like to see dyno from NSX.
Thanks
jdc1687 said:Every other before/after exhaust only dyno result I have seen shows that below 4,000RPM the OEM and aftermarket exhaust are very close in power; this makes sense since the more restrictive OEM exhaust wouldn't matter as much when less exhaust gasses were flowing; and as RPMs increased it matters more. Your result does not follow the typical pattern..
jdc1687 said:..
Another reason I don't trust your dyno result... 270 rwhp from a 3.0L???? Can you please link to other dyno results of cars with comparable mods that make anywhere near this much? I can't find any, other than cars with ported heads, different cams, etc....
Please do, trust me, it is worth it. You will find another pleasant surprise and shatter another one of your doubts. If you can gain 11~13rwhp with a well made Korean/Chinese made exhausts, there is no reason that you can't gain 15~20rwhp with the best selling nsx exhaust in Japan that is actually made in Japan and is race proven.jdc1687 said:This sounds crazy, but I'm seriously considering buying a Taitec just so I can do a dyno run with it..
nsxsupra said:Didn't you said "In so far as I know there are no good dyno results of before/after of a 3.0L with just an exhaust." (post#138). Just
look at your dyno result. Didn't I told you so that exhaust with no header on 3.0L does give out good gain? See the pattern here. If a well made Korean exhaust can gain 11~13rwhp. Absolutely no reason why the best selling nsx exhaust in Japan can't gain 15~20rwhp.
Like I said before don't let misconceptions fool you. Don't just assume using typical pattern. There is a search function, spend an hour or two and look up the links yourself.

The ARK exhaust seems to be a copy or similar design of Taitec dual canister exhausts.

vtec888 said:Thanks Ark. I can't tell the difference of the before and after. I was hoping it would be the dual tip on each side. Hmmmm....still debating now.
Jeremy,jdc1687 said:nsxsupra,
I did spead a long time with the search and did not find any threads that seemed relevant, and I am asking you to provide them.
skeptical of the gains you are seeing. This debate won't be settled by arguing back and forth, and we are hi-jacking the thread..
