Lowie's DC5S...

that looks the sex! how do you like the exhaust mate?

^^^ edited up there lol

but:

Compared to my 2.25" mild steel, non-branded custom, press bent, with a universal 400cell cat, leaking hunk of junk :P it is:

- Deeper and more throaty exhaust note (very good)
- stainless steel vs. mild steel (lighter and looks better)
- Alot quieter at idle and cold starts (good thing)
- Slightly less distinctive vtec crossover in the exhuast note (meh)
- more distinctive crossover from the engine bay (good)
- feels smoother to drive (good power gain for what it is)
- quieter across the rev-range (neutral)
- no more drone (excellent)
- and axel-back and tip looks ALOT better imo

good work man, i love this exhaust, perfect for a daily allowing you to sneak around or get noticed when necessary.

[M@lew]

Very nice! I agree about it being an awesome daily exhaust, but I do feel like more grunt, especially for track. I guess it's only quiet in comparison though, some of my friends still say my car is loud but only those who never heard the Spec 3.

[stevan]

alas some people like me cant afford another exhaust for the track lol, i wonder how much of a difference it would make if that neck inside the tip was gone?

Are you going to track on the 15th Will? what wheel tyre setup are you using?

from below: my brother says the car is very loud from the outside when i drive past so i think you are right mate

[lowie]

hehe yeah I very much agree its perfect for a daily driven car, which is what mine is.
It's stealth when needed like when near blue and red but does sound pretty awesome at high RPM.

I also have a feeling it's alot louder outside and especially behind the car than from the drivers seat. What do you guys think?

same for me lol, if anyone wants to get me a birthday present get a JDM header and J's 70RR!

I'm wanting to, will see if cash is going good at that stage as I'll need to fork out semi-slicks/tyres with better tread.
But yeah if possible ideally I'll be on the stock 17x7 with a 215/45 semi-slick

[stevan]

im in the same boat mate, waiting for cash to come in, should be starting work this wednesday but all of the next 2 weeks pay will go to new wheels so im scared of coming off and doing some damage. i think ill be running stock wheels and tyres as my re001s are about 50% atm so i may as well run them dead

hmmm i have some yoko A050's 215/45/17. There's slight cambar wear on the outside, but overall still in good condition. Used for about 4-5 track days, can't remember exactly.

pm if interested.

unlike mine.... there is NO snekaing around...

[M@lew]

It was louder outside than inside...but then with my mounts installed it seems louder inside than out! But watching my video again it doesn't seem too quiet, but I'm also flooring it in that.

[plAythiNG]

I heard his exhaust when i was driving my car, he flew up me, obviously WOT. soudned sweet... sounds deep, where mine sounds more highpitched.
