BUt overall I have the system, have been running it for some time, and it rips loud, aggressive, exotic etc, dont hesistate because of the price. Im living proof that both pieces work well together and sound great. Headed back for dyno numbers soon now that I installed the Y-pipe to see if I picled up a couple horses

our VVT is smooth and linear. not a lil kick like the old vtech hondas.

Just to clarify... you should never be able to FEEL VTEC in a Honda. If you do... someone isn't tuning it properly.

:-P

GT35 / 42R masks all ;-)

i had a stock GSR and yes you could tell when the cam changed due to the vtech system activating. its not a strong hit but its something you can hear and feel. our VVT works much different.

but who the hell cares......

Hondas are my first love, I've been building them for the last 10 or so years. From the Hondata training classes I've been to, VTEC crossover should be tuned to be smooth and linear.

In a stock car, you'll hear it... but it shouldn't be a sudden change in power. You know, it was explained to me that it shouldn't be a burst of power. With the newer engines in the RSX, TSX the change is audible but the "pop" or "surge" is far less predominant when you stomp on it.

:-D

got mine today, have FI catback right now, will install this y-pipe with stock exhaust and compare how it sounds. probably will end up going with top-speed back section.

Kastley85891 · 01-20-2011, 10:09 PM

Do me a favor, do a weight comparo of the top speed to the stock mid/muffler would ya

I'm intrested in getting it.

Do you need to tune it after you put it on ?,

Second can u just take out that part and put this one in or do you need to take out your entire exhaust behind it to install it ?

Finally, Have anyone done this with the spacer mod on the muffler ?, where you replace your gasket with 4 spacers, if so what results, sound wise ?

SRY I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS

Kastley85891 · 01-21-2011, 09:11 AM

Negative on tune, 20 min install, rear section and cats stay where they are during install, flex joints and a little push and shuve, easy....

Done spacer mod, personally I dont like an induced leak, prefer to do a shorty chop job or change the CBE.

NP on ?'s lots of guys here to help.
