Ebay Hong Kong Exhaust Any Good?
Discussion
) theres a few threads about it - I had one...I kept it on for about 3 weeks but dare not drive the car as it was so loud ! they are top quality - better than anything Ive seen in the UK ...but if you want to use the car daily then ask them for their 'road' version ....this has a bigger silencer - I presume you are talking about the one with the 2 silencers that are about the same sie as a tin of beans 
theres a couple of guys on here with them and they love them....pop, bang, and generally sound like a Spitfire coming into land every time you open the throttle ...the first time I drove my car with it fitted myself and a mate just giggled like a pair of girls everyime I floored .....but the novelty of getting a headache after 10 mins wore off on the MOnday morning when I had to drive to work in it !

Just to confirm it is the same one we are talking about.

Indeed - 110 dB at tickover iirc. Peaks at 130 dB, probably enough to make your ears bleed. My larini is 95 dB at 5000 rpm!
Your neighbours will really love you. I suggest a PH group buy - all enthusiastic parties club together, get one and each enjoy it for a couple of weeks till the novelty wears off or you go deaf.

Have one coming in right now for 'special occasions'.. It's going top be hooked up to my car after the Honda conversion currently in progress.
I'm very interested to hear what it does once the K20 switches to the VTEC cam.. Bleeding ears I expect..
For day to day use I have an S2-Honda silencer from Maidstone on order. More civilized
Interesting though that the guys from Hong-Kong manage to get the exhaust to me in 4 days from halfway across the globe, while the one from the UK has been shipped about 2 weeks ago.. Guess that's Royal Mail for ya!
Bye, Arno.

Tony H, fancy directing a Ebay vs Larini comparison, your movie making skills put mine to shame. Have a couple of soundbytes on the latop tonite if anyone can host in the meantime. GTRene caught the examples I posted last time.....ask him what he thought! If anyone is in the Herford/Essex border areas of the South east I am happy to provide loud demos through the Waltham Abbey M25 tunnel. Grin inducing everytime, and at full chat hearing impairing! I love it!

LOL @ the M25 tunnel ...when I had mine fitted we went on a run ...I overtook about 6 Elises going through at full chat, all with roof off...they complained they couldnt hear for days after
huh what are you saying
I'm getting old too 130db is to loud for me too, a few minutes is nice and wow you must hear that thing...but after those minutes your eighter deaf or fighting with your neighbours or the police visiting you about complains all over the city
when you have a fine sound and max 98db you can go to most tracks, stay friends with the neighbours, still hear what your girlfriend says
when you want more sound you can hear and not mostly others the most, buy a induction kit or do like those racers do put a special intake manifold on it with 4 intakers/throttle bodys? how do you call that? Anyway...I would not buy such loud system...but thats also because I think a lot on other people, I don't want them get deaf or angry cause of me
and I don't like to be baned of some cirquits when I would like to visit those, so better borow such system for a while and see if you like it on a daily base and if you and the places you go can life with that?? when some people say, it makes your ears blead? I always think of Jeremy Clarkson when he drove a 180hp? mini(old model some years ago) and in that clip he looks silly and blood came out his ears
just to make a statement...lol GTRene
