I think the fellas here will appreciate these gems. I'm debating if I should ebay bid on the NSX cause I always wanted an NSX but don't know if the honeymoon feeling would wear off as soon as I brought it home. It'd be nice to have both of these in the garage though. And they're my favorite color: RED.

Instead of a muffler delete you could try to tame it a little by welding something like this in its place.

It really depends on how much noise you want, and if you want the noise on the inside or outside.

I'f anything, i'd like the sound about 60% inside, 40% outside

also, the sound deadening, will it affect any other components? and where is it exactly?

i have no idea how built a custom intake, would i change the filter as well or just the tubings?

also that link, if i were to replace the muffler with that, im guessing it has another hole on it right? so two will be coming out, i like the looks of two tips

thank you!

Exhaust, just custom fab the axle back... if you have tin-can exhaust laying around exhaust shop will fab one for you around $30~$60.

Intake, like Calum said, make a custom intake or take off filter of sound generator and it'll make hellova noise inside the car.

mostly inside, a bit outside,
can you clear up a few things for me, what poart of the exhuast is called "axel back" ?? google cant be exact and shows custom ones

any tut's on making a custom intake? i don't wanna mess with the engines too much, incase of failiure and warranty..ect and WHERE IS THE FILTER OF THE SOUND GENERATOR?? haha sounds the easiest, where is this? & does it affect anything in a bad way?

K, I'll explain detail as I can... but I'm currently at work, so can't really take any photos or anything, so I'll reference back & forth w the thread.

Axle back
FR-S/BRZ exhaust system break down to 5 different parts. Front pipe aka header, over pipe, cat, cat back pipe, axle back. Axle back exhaust is it literally exhaust from rear axle and back.
Pics of axle back exhaust would be like this one:
**I'm not advertizing ISIS. Just that was one of the first photo it popped when I did search**

& here's how it looks on the car

so you see how exhaust after rear axle pipe and near muffler pipe is different. That shows the different pipes. dark burn color pipe is cat back pipe, and white silver-ish pipe is axle back exhaust.

If you search around the Engine, Exhaust, Transmission, ECU & see what exhaust noise you like and what exhaust looks nice. It's worth search before you buy that system.

Noise Generator
Noise generator is this

& inside, there are few filters that quiet down the noise that goes into the cabin. If you search around, I'm pretty sure there's "how to" guide to remove it.

If you're worry about it's gonna "void" the warranty blah blah blah then go buy TRD "noise generator" it generate louder or quieter noise into the cabin

hope that enlighten you a bit

logically true... but my mind is saying false

Wouldn't 500hp be sort of a moot point? I think the question is more about how much grip/force can the car put down at 0km/h versus the 0 velocity grip/force of the 500 horses. 500 horses I think would win by a mile hahaha.

Yeah, true. grip/force... k, I'll use that next time :happy0180:

AlmostMDD · 10-20-2012, 05:18 PM

You'd also need a stupid amount of force to get that much horse moving even if they weren't fighting back. hahaha.
