What did you do to your Type R today?

[RepyT]

That exhaust is know for drone . I installed and tested myself in another R, great sound btw .

Alejandro,
I don’t understand your post. The one thing the TOURING version is known for is NO drone yet you kind of say you like it? Set me straight on your opinion if I can stop being dense and read to understand more.

While there’s a bright spot at around 2,500 and some increased hummy sounds in a range that ends with 69 (how bad can that be?) the intensity is intentionally designed to be lower in intensity and broader spectrum speed wise perhaps on purpose to ease through it vs a big vawhoomph that might be narrower and loosen fillings. This all happens due to the 180 amplitude noise cancellation tech within, same principle in ANR headphones/headsets but passive not electronic. As Joe Walsh once said (Google), “You Can Tuna Piano But You Can’t Tuna Fish”. Life has been good to me so far JW.
I realize sound is subjective but you almost make it sound like a ear bleeding torture chamber in the back seat.
If it bothers you terribly, maybe get a good radar detector as anything under 70 you risk Priu-sneer. That’s the unconscious mini-grin Prius owners get passing a Type R. I experienced this just once about to make a signaled right turn, it won’t happen again. (Them passing, I’ll likely turn to the right again).

Seriously though, maybe due to me usually cracking windows (not gassy generally-TMI!) or down all the way I don’t sense any severe SPL problem with resonance. I wonder if you had the Track version without the 180 trap, LOL?

Have you compared it to other more expensive exhausts? Several owners I catch here have diff R exhausts and I can confidently say AWE Touring has the least annoying irregularities, maybe it hadn’t settled/broke in yet. Anything beats drone of C-130 engines, couple thousands of hours doubled up ear protection in that environment and still can hea.... What’s that honey, your hair’s on fire? Oh, your car has a flat tire, got it now. It’s only flat on the bottom. Not you, the tire.

Sold mine today.... Was sad to see it drive away.
Will try electric, but I'm afraid that I will miss stick (and I know that will be gone for good in a few years )

Well I hope you enjoy whatever you purchased! You're always welcome here.

Haha hahah! I couldn’t stop laughing the whole post , you’re awesome man never change !
The exhaust drone , is not that bad , is the touring version , not the track version , is not that low frequency drone like the nvidea r400 or GReddy 3 tips hg , the drone is on another frequency , outside the exhaust has a great tone , I install bolts on as a side job so no , is not my first experience with aftermarket exhaust. Mostly aftermarket exhaust drone with exception of those exhaust system with helmholtz resonators, or any other cancellation resonators , for example for those exhaust system with a large muffler on the back with dead ends like Miltek , Remus etc , for those design doesn’t drone at all , but those exhaust doesn’t sound any deep like R400. The other exhaust system with cancellation resonators is for example 27 won , ultimate racing ( ultraquiet) and there is a couple more any of those exhaust system with a pipe or resonator conectes just in one side and the other side is close , I will post a example picture . Clarifying what I call drone is when you have resonances or exhaust sound inside the cabin and not outside , and usually came with certain notes vibrating inside the car , I understand many people don’t care or is not annoying or noticeable for them .
just my opinion, hopefully this info helps .

What did I do today..

Well I woke up the CTR from its slumber and ended up finally installing:

- new shoes (Gramlight 57DR 18x9.5), thanks @System Motorsports !
- ZL1 Rock Guards
- Hondata basemap
- dead pedal.

I'm in love all over again.

Car is looking great! Awesome choice on the wheels!!

Why not TIG it all? Don’t get why they would MIG those joints.

Very valid question, especially when everything around that point is TIG Possibly a structural joint that needed a wider penetration weld area for better support. There has to be a reason for that.

Because this exhaust was originally track version and I added those resonators .
The mostly muffler shop doesn’t have tig for that kind of job

There we go! Thanks Daniel!

I like your opinions, good stuff. I can’t afford the 27won (<—Korean’s are probably perplexed) system or I’d own it, same for Remis except for Bluetooth aspect. I’d want an old school pull cord like old trains and buses had to signal stop at next spot.

What are you running exhaust wise and why? Curious, not saying any one system is better than another but they’re related all +\- aspects.

Heck, my wife’s younger sister is blonde and has her picture in the dictionary under Hottie, great sense of humor too. That doesn’t mean I want to drive her daily. Wait, that’s not quite what I consciously meant.
