So awesome! I'm just waiting for my exhaust to go from Japan, then to AJ Racing in Canada, then finally NY! I can't wait.

I was hoping you'd see this -- I posted it, but had to run out before I could pm you. You're gonna like it I'm sure!

Nice! And that isn't loud without the resonator? Sounds pretty loud from the video, although it's a beautiful engine note, still loud.

Yeah, it's loud -- not so much in the car, but outside people know you're coming, especially once it warms up and you're on the gas. My wife says she knows when I'm coming home at night 'cause she can hear me from a block or two away. I wanted loud though, so I got no complaints. Plus, the performance gains are no slouch either.

I'd love the loudness also but I'd get way to hassled by the popo's. If I was breading a bull blown race car I wouldn't mind, unfortunately whenver I decide to do a full exhaust I need it to be a little quieter and refined, so I'm looking forward to a Spoon B-Pipe with a Tanabe Touring Medalion axle back and I'm still not decided on the header.

The Spoon has an optional silencer, the J's doesn't. I'm still very undecided about the 2 but leaning towards the Spoon N1 as I think they're bad ass!!!

J's Racing does make a silencer for the Fit exhaust.

J'S RACING JAPAN It's second from the top under exhausts.

Either unit is a good product. The J's has the advantage in weight and rarity, the Spoon with price. Can't say anything about performance as haven't seen any real charts for either.

The J's racing exhaust uses 50mm piping and the spoon exhaust uses 52.7mm piping, but the J's racing center pipe doesn't have a resonator and has less bends than the spoon center pipe.

Skunk2 50mm vs. A-spec Exhaust

Does anyone have experience with both, the skunk2 50mm and the A-spec exhaust? I'm debating on which to buy. I'm morely interested in the performance than the sound. Would anyone at least have the specs for both. Thanks!

You'll find threads for both setups if you try the Search function at the top of the page. I'd imagine Skunk2 would be the better of the two though, both quality and performance-wise.
