So what's wrong with the Skunk2 in terms of you wanting to change?

Well when I was down PAW the other week for service and MOT Rich mentioned the back box was starting to sound a bit rattly. This is just when on the ramp with engine off. At the moment you can't hear it when the car is on, so not urgent. However, if the baffles are starting to go I guess it's just a matter of time.

I wouldn't want to repair it as the Skunk2 was always a compromise anyway.

My dream exhaust would be a spoon but they don't do them. Love the sound of a b series with a spoon exhaust :twisted:

I also like the idea of bigger piping because I hear that the H22 actually quite likes a 3 inch exhaust, although I am a little worried about how loud it will be.

Some people change their wheels every 5 minutes, other people their suspension, or brakes etc. For me it's always been exhausts :oops:

I am not decided on anything yet though so open to all suggestions :thumbup:

Are makes sense.
The old skool spoons are soooo loud.
Yet the spoon n1 on my s660 is pure sex. Loudest exhaust they do but sounds so good, like an angry lawnmower.
Fujitsubo will be too quiet if that's what you like then.

Invidia n1?

Cool, didn't know they did a spoon for the s660, good choice :thumbup:

What's your opinion on a 3 inch custom? Or a 2.75 as a compromise?

Or, would it be possible to buy a spoon backbox for say an integra and get a custom place to make it fit with their custom piping in the centre section?

Have you heard the Invidia? Any good?

Yer Spoon make tons of parts for the s660 which I have most obviously. It's still in development with carbon panels and uprated turbo kits etc.

Only heard the invidia n1 on YouTube and it's loud like an n1 exhaust.

Bigger exhaust will make.korenpowwr but loose power and or torque elsewhere so it's a compromise. Unless tuned of course.
