How difficult are these to install?

Is there any cutting of the plastic involved?

Do the OEM cats stay on so it will pass emissions?

Do the tips line up with one anophter when looking from the rear (I hear there have been problems with some exhaust tips being higher than the other)?

When will you have the 2000 adapters ready?

Dumb questions I am sure...but I know nothing about exhausts!

Thanks!

How difficult are these to install? Depends on every person's machenical skills. I would say it's a 3 out of 10 (10 being hardest). All you have to do is remove 6x bolts. Move the 4x rubber hangers off the exhaust. Get a helper or a friend to hold the exhaust (highly suggested if it's your OEM exhaust). Note: Since our cars are not fairly new and depends on where your car has been, if your bolts look rusty make sure you spray some WD-40 and let it soak for a while before you remove it. Seek professional help before you strip the bolts. Most places would not charge you an arm and a leg just for installing an exhaust. $50-$150 or a case of beer for a good friend or neighbor that's mechanical handy, make sure it's imported beer to do a quality job! :wink:

Is there any cutting of the plastic involved? No

Do the OEM cats stay on so it will pass emissions? Our exhaust does NOT eliminate your cat. You can still use your OEM cats or pretty much any aftermarket cats or test pipes. Every state has it's own state law. I'm sure Arizona's not that strict. With your stock cats you should pass your inspection. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Do the tips line up with one another when looking from the rear (I hear there have been problems with some exhaust tips being higher than the other)? We fitment tested every single exhaust before we ship them with brand new OEM hangers on our NSX (mine) and it's a 91 with stock cats and headers.

When will you have the 2000 adapters ready? Another couple of months. I would suggest you to get them from another NSX Prime member (used to save money or new) or from SOS (great fitment).

Dumb questions I am sure...but I know nothing about exhausts! No, it's not dumb. If I'm you, I would ask as much questions and do my research just like you did. If you need immediate response our number is on the Wiki page below.

Thanks!

THANK YOU!

Thanks for the quick response!

I am interested!

If you havent bought the exhaust yet, what are you waiting for. I will soon have my 2004 lbbp nsx up and running and this is the only exhaust I will run. You can't beat the quality for the price and it sounds simply amazing. Mark, I will make you another vid like the last one with your set up on a ctsc If you are not turbo, I highly suggest this exhaust.

I am happily new to this forum and I figured that I would start off with a positive note. Late last week I had contacted Mark regarding his Pride V1 exhaust system. I was not able to afford the comparable system out there so I received an e-mail within the hour concerning price and delivery. I told Mark that I needed the weekend to think about it. Monday I placed the order and he even found a used pair of adaptors for me since my car is a 2000. Again he replied immediately and explained he would try to ship my order by Wednesday (he was one person short). Well the unit arrived on Wednesday! Due to my insane work schedule, I had to wait until Saturday to install it. The installation was simple and straightforward. <O></O>
My first impression is that it's fantastic! The sound is superb. It has a nice throaty sound at lower RPM's. When the RPM's get to about 2,500, the sound begins to transition into a 12 cylinder (Italian sports car) engine sound. The sound is great whether you’re under very light or heavy throttle conditions. Now, here's the surprise. The first thing that I immediately noticed was the improved response when taking off normally from a stop. Typically, you always have to give it a bit of throttle when slipping the clutch, now I barely have to touch the throttle when taking off! It seems like the idling torque greatly improved. This translates to long clutch life. Since I do engineering for living, I replaced the supplied fasteners with stainless steel ones, since that's more my style. When someone provides good service and product, I feel that others should know.<O></O>
That's all for now, Jay<O></O>

Jay, I hope you used the correct anti-seize compound on those stainless fasteners.

Thanks for the review.

Thanks for the review.

Hi Steve,

Yes, and I torqued them to the correct value. I am going to recheck the torque values this weekend assuming there's been some settling.

Thanks, Jay

You're good...

Any feedback on how loud this exhaust is compared to some of the others on the market? Maybe on the scale that SoS uses here: http://www.scienceofspeed.com/sos_resource/FAQs/NSX/eap/exhaust_comparison/default.asp

Basically, I'm looking for something that the girlfriend won't complain about.

 

[oscar_driver]

I am almost ordering this!

 

[Onsoku]

What is the closest GT-One sounding version? I have the 5.1.

Very good price!

 

[gleibig]

I sold my gt one 5.1 and bought this. With tp's, the 5.1 was too tinny/ raspy, especially right around 2rpm. It just hurt my ears. I really happy with the pride.

What is the difference between the V1 and V2?

Edit: nm, I found it...V2 is 10-15% more high pitched.

I believe version 2 is just quad tips... right?

 

[huck-jai]

No V2 has different bend in the pipes and is higher pitched, like dablackgoku said. It comes in quad or dual tips. I picked one up from Mark a last week. Looks awesome. No time to install yet though. :frown:

Oh, that sounds great. I need to pull the trigger on a V2 very soon.

 

[3.5lnsxr]

How will you compare the pride exhaust to the gt-one extreme? Are they sound pretty much the same? Which one flow better. I am thinking about getting a gt-one extreme but it kinna expensise. Maybe I will get the pride instead.

Thanks

Drone? is it bad?

 

[dima]

I am very interested except I am concerned about drone. If you Can assure me that there is no drone, That would make up my mind in a heartbeat
THANKS

There is drone, but seems minimal. Read here for a review on the V2:

That thread mentions resonators. Can you elaborate, do you install them and how much. Still interested but need to eliminate drone.
THANKS

In the first exhaust picture in this thread, you will see two little bulges on two pipes at the bottom centre section of the picture. They are glass packs, you can call them mini mufflers if you want to, lol. Those are the resonators. They help tone down the exhaust sound a bit. You can add resonators to help get rid of the drone, but you would have to know where to place them I believe, which means experimenting. You would have to cut up the exhaust and weld the resonators on. It will be quite costly I think.
