I am planing an 02 upgrade to my car, so the Tubi has to go. I will rather sell it or keep it than butcher it up.

Does anyone know how loud the NSX is if only the Cats are kept to keep the noise down?

I am curious as when I tried the NSX with test pipes the sound was loud, but not that much, only after 3k rpm or so. It sounded nice, but I was not impressed with the smell, polution and the fact that my car would have failed the MOT inspections.

I am thinking of something like this picture.

Yes I know how loud it will be. At Spa, one of DaliRacing's cars has straight through pipes. It sounds great, but you could never use it on a road. It won't be far off the volume of an F1 car.

AR,

Why wouldn't you consider the tip conversion for the tubi? Your system sounds great and the conversion would suit the '02 upgrade as here...

Good luck with the project!

Kevin, did that one have cats? Just curious as when I tried the NSX with test pipes the sound was loud, but not that much, only after 3k rpm or so.

BTW I am really sorry about the harness bar I have to make some time to pick it up. Will PM you about it. Have you done the B pillars?

I've seen that one and it looks like a good solution, but I want to keep the Tubi original in case I do decide to sell it or perhaps mount it on another car.
