Is there anyone out there that has this on there car? How do you like it? If you could give me some opinions that would be awesome.
SR20 in S14 is my setup.

[SoSideways]

Heard it's loud as hell. Couple guys on FA used to run this setup, and they ended up cutting out sections so they can weld in some low profile mufflers from Dynomax or Magnaflow or something.

[S14_Kouki]

Cool. Anyone else?

One of our customers bought one of these when we did his SR swap. The thing is LOUD, but it sounds good! It makes your car sound SO good. If you don't have issues w/ getting pulled over for noise, and you want a loud exhaust that's deep and rumbly, this one is for you.

[S14_Kouki]

Sweet :D

[NiSmo240luvR]

i have the spec II on my s13 with sr. its definitely not overbearingly loud even after i put on my downpipe. it sounds really good and ive gotten quite a few compliments from people on both the look and the sound. also not alot of people have it so that is a plus.

[TheSquidd]

Loud as a bastard, fits nice and tight. Only problem I have is it melted my rear bumper and some plastic around my gas tank, sucker gets hot.

[Buffalo Daughter]

its as close to getting a ddmax or a dart izumi exhaust. thumbs up. But then again you can just custom make one with a slanted 31/2inch to 4' inch pipe for the tip.

[S14_Kouki]

Did you guys notice any HP/TQ increase? Anyone ever dynoed before/after?

[420sx]

its a loud mofo tho. but hey sounds good, gains are good. cops are pissed.

[S14_Kouki]

Well in FL cops just hassle the Honda's ;)

[S14_Kouki]

I havent been able to find any spec's on what the size of the piping is. Do they all come 3''?

[drift freaq]

I am running a Spec II on my RB powered S13 and I love the sound its sick. It is loud though without the silencer. It is 3 inch all the way through with a 100mm tip.
I actually stuck in a high flow cat to combat part of the loudness. I was running a test pipe and it just sounded evil as hell, full on race car at the track action! hahhahahha . I got mine used for $200 and picked up the silencer after that. Its a great track exhaust and basically like a single pipe version of a Dart Izumi or Greddy DD. I like it but it might not be the wisest if your really concerned about noise and cops.

I love the way the Spec II looks and it's pretty damn cheap too. What's the piping diameter on it?? Never seen the specs for it even on the Buddy Club website.

[lilredstiffy]

I love it. It's super light. Makes the car sound like a monster. Too loud for cops. Sounds lame with the silencer in though.

Pretty sure its 3" piping.

[Hitawall]

its a nice unit , i seemed to loose some tq with it but the silencer brought it back to life . i like loud . i will post pics when i get a digi , it is suposed to sit pretty snug but i had to put mine down farther to clear my kit

[marveluz]

super loud on a n/a ka... i always clutch in when cops are around... my butt-dyno claims top end hp gains... silencer is a must if u want to drive longer than 15 minutes w/o a headache... best part it does not hang too low and there's no big eye-catching canister to attract attention

[OMGWTFBBQ]

pics !!
im considering buying one ..

[lilredstiffy]

here it is on my car

Screw the silencer it makes more noise at low speeds than it cancels out.

my only complaint is that it looks kinda funny because it's so angled.

I plan on getting a cat and welding up a 3-4" pipe from the axle back on my current exhaust

trippin. that shits the dope show.

[Adikt]

NA it was loud but very deep. Never had problems with cops. Now that I'm turboed its quiet and still really deep.

[S14_Kouki]

Awesome. Where did you guys order your's from who have it. And is it 3''? Everywhere i look i cant seem to get the diamiter of the piping.

[Adikt]

yup 3 inch diameter with a 3.5 inch tip

[S14_Kouki]

Cool Thanks

[Irukandji]

i can vouch for its voice level.

my friend has one on his sohc n/a and it's crazy loud. It sounds alright, but make sure you have a cat or high flow cat or else it gets obnoxious.

[TheSquidd]

Got mine from ASpecproducts.com

Best place to buy anything period. Give them a call and ask for Logan.

[drift freaq]

Got mine from Option Imports.

[CodyW]

i have it on my 14 and love it...it is quite loud as everyone mentioned, although i'm running a resonated test pipe with mine so it sorta quiets it down (isn't as overpowering as i expected, but you can definately hear it). might be a bit much for a daily driver or someone worried about legality of it, but it works out beautifully on my car since i typically just use it at events or on weekends for fun.

Ok everyones saying its loud... i got a SR with basic mods. Ive got custom 3in piping ( non mandral bent) with a apexi canister. I think that my system is pretty loud but would the buddy club spec II just absoultley blow this away? Is it mandral bent im assuming?

[TheSquidd]

UPDATE: This exhaust does not sound good when a four inch hole appears where a mounting bracket used to be. Just say no to crappy driveways.

Ouch.. I plan on running one after my manifold + 02 ext arrive and I order my downpipe. Just not sure I can buy into the canister thing..

[sideview_180sx]

my friend has his on an s13 when it was on KA it was a continuous rate of getting louder. Not like systems such as RS-R that reach a certain sound level and plateau. Now that he has gone s14 SR the spec II is definately something worth getting for my future plans. BTW this is w/o the silencer, his was blown out.

[TheSquidd]

At a time trial recently, I was expecting this sucker to be LOUD as I would be full throttle, high rpm's the whole time. Low and behold, when you really push this exhaust, it goes silent. After about 5000 RPM's with the cat heated up it just makes no sound at all. Odd.


Plus, my silencer blew out too, and some %%#%^ that was driving behind me STOLE it. STOLE a HOT SILENCER FOR AN EXHAUST HE DIDN'T OWN.

[cr00k_lyn]

Anybody got a sound clip of this exhaust?
