Caveat Emptor!
The gt lightweight I have and have ridden is sound stock from idle to 4500 rpm and the get a nice tone above 4500 rpm.
This exhaust is not loud and does not drone. I'm old and like a subtle tuned exhaust note and that is what you get with the taitec gt lightweight. It is so quiet it could have been a factory sport exhaust option. I think those saying it is loud must be mistaking it for another model of taitec exhaust, (they have several other exhaust models for the nsx and some are loud). But not the gt lightweight
Thanks
Yes it supercharger. Am running Lovefab header test pipe and gt extreme exhaust .

OMG that has got to be the most awesome and meanest sounding exhaust I've heard. That can't be normal GT Extreme sound ~ is that your supercharger?
WOW *droooling :biggrin:
Don't forget there is probably a lightweight flywheel here too, that fast rev up and down makes it sound different than a stock NSX. It's not just the exhaust sound you are liking, it is the fast rev.
I can tell you for sure that my car with the gt-1 5.0 (5.1 but with a valve solenoid and electronic controller) sounded much different as I had the GT-1 F1 headers. If you are looking at a fujitsubo why are you not looking at this? It was designed with a very unique collector to specifically work with the 5.1 exhaust, and IMO is a better header. The best build quality I have seen and the only header on the market with 6 equal length pipes. It and the fujitsubo which you say you can't find sell for roughly the same price. I might sell mine over the summer if I decide to go turbo too, if you are not in a rush. If you want a louder exhaust than the 5.1, the version 4 is very loud but still has a Similar pitch. It does flow better too.
I think you'd be happy with a header of some sort, test pipes, the exhaust you already own, and if you change your clutch, a lightweight flywheel.
I used to get compliments on my car's sound all the time at the track even from the Ferrari guys running the F1 header, 5.0 exhaust with the valve fully open and taitec test pipes. But I wanted to save weight and changed my 5.0 for an ARC titanium. Went from 28 pounds to 12. Saved 16 pounds. Now I am just loving the sound of the ARC in conjunction with the F1 header. The ARC is not cheap though, 5-6K if you can find one. If I go turbo obviously my header can no longer be used.
TAITEC GT-009. :smile:

Check out the flyby at 01:59.
I've ALWAYS loved the sound of the TAITEC GT-009, just to my knowledge, its VERY hard to find and VERY expensive. Right?
There's nothing to it, it's a single exit ugly exhaust, you can make one just like it pretty cheap.

Guys, I know sound is totally "subjective" so let me try and explain this in words.
For me there is a difference between throaty/aggressive and just plain annoying loud - definitely DO NOT want the latter.
Let me give some examples - if any of you are familiar with the factory e46 m3 sound - it is tinny, sounds like a high pitched chain saw and I HATE that sound.
Compare this to my IS-F (V8) with the JoeZ which is a throaty rumble sound that is both deep and also racy at the same time.
There's a few local NSX's here that are just plain annoying in sound. (nothing against the owners if this is what they like) but I hate that sound and I'm pretty sure they are running TP's.
hope this helps you guys distinguish the sound I'm looking for.
