Taitec GT Lightweight

[chriswtx]

"Oh Yeah" Got the Tiatec exhaust today. Sounds great. A little loud at 8000rpm. Now I am ready for another dyno session. Maybe I can hit that magical 275hp to the wheels. All I can say is all the way home from work...

hmmm, sounds interesting! I'm planning to go w/ the Taitec headers and the GT lightweight exhaust in the near future... I noted that you have some 'built' cars and I am presuming you are use to loud exhausts.

Can you rate the loudness of this exhaust to the stock NSX... (would there be a need for the S.O.S silencers???)

 

[chriswtx]

without cats, on a scale of 1-10 1 being quiet and 10 racecar loud the stock muffler w/headers and no cats is a 3 and the Tiatec is an 7 or 8. It's about a 5 while on the highway and a 4 at idle but when you gas it hang on where's the ear plugs. Its really not to bad and I hear it takes about 500 miles of break in for it to aquire its real sound pitch. You are more than welcome to drive down one weekend to here it.

Congrats on the new exhaust. I'd like to hear that thing in person.

Let us know next time you go to the dyno. I think we might have a few more people interested; Perhaps enough do do a mini-dyno-day. At a minimum, I would be interested, as I'll need to dyno my car again to verify my A/F issue has been resolved.

 

[chriswtx]

If I dyno soon it will be in Bracken at Dynotex Racing. They are only 15 mins. from my house.

 

[Ojas]

I would not mind heading down there sometime. It's a good excuse to hit the Hill Country back-roads.

 

[chriswtx]

Ok, I will let you know when.

 

[Rooster]

Can't wait to hear the exhaust too! I'd be interested in a nice drive to SA as well!

 

[chriswtx]

I will probably be in Pflugerville Sat or Sun(may 8/9) to take back the stock exhaust I borrowed. I am also making a set of silencers to quiet it down a little. But it sure sounds good.

 

[Rooster]

Should be in town this weekend. Call me on the cell when you are in route! Can't wait to hear the beautiful sound.

 

[chriswtx]

Will call you, it will probably be sat.(10:00am-ish) this is all contingent on me fitting the stock exhaust in the pass. seat.

 

[Rooster]

I'll see you there.

 

[chriswtx]

anyone else wanting to hear the exhaust I will be in Austin tomorrow from around 10am to 1pm. Lunch anybody?

 

[chriswtx]

I had a great time at lunch Sat with Ojas and Ron. Thanks to them both and see you soon.

Yessir - It was good to hang out with you again. Dang, your exhaust was loud. My ears are still ringing. Here are some short video clips of Chris's exhaust:

Hey Ojas the first one doesn't work.

 

[Ojas]

My mistake. It should be fixed now.
