Same here. The canister is pointing to the wrong direction. The lower end should point forward and the upper end should point to the rear just like the factory exhaust.

Caveat Emptor!
To tell you the truth, I never even entertained that question. I'm sure someone with an aeronautical background can fill us in, however I highly doubt that a muffler about a foot long is going to cause "serious lift". The air running under the car is anything but a smooth stream, our car isn't that flat. Also lift isn't always created because something is tilted one way or another into toward the wind, there is much to be said about pressure differences above and below the airfoil. Do you know how much air flow you would need to "seriously" lift the rear of the car by the exhaust??? I don't, but I'm sure it's something astronomical, and I'm sure someone can come up with a number based on surface area, angle of attack, and weight of the car.Do they ever adress the way the canister facing/laid out? I'm seriously concern for people that bring the car to the track or drive at high speed. It looks like it can create a serious lift.

The rear of the car remained stable at speeds in excess of 150 MPH. I think whoever is posting this message has other motives.

So after doing a math conversion, it looks like my 1998 3.2 with the Paddock Magnaflow and K&N drop-in is now making 304HP @ 7250RPM and 234ft/lbs @ 6500RPM
NoSeX4U said:Ummm...if the car is oriniginally a 40 front 60 rear weight distribution, wouldn't, at worst, this theoretical 'lift' (assuming the NSX is as aerodynamic as a Le Mans GT1 car and therefore subject to minute aero changes...yeah, sure) cause the back tyo raise up a tiny bit, thus effectively moving some of the weight forward, resulting in the more managable 50/50 weight distribution? And if you're racing your NSX, wouldn't you REALLY be looking at a more expensive higher HP output exhaust? And honestly, how many of us drive our cars at the full ten tenths...and don't say those who race...if you were that good, you'd be signed to a major deal! And if you do it on the street then the best thing to do is lock yourself in a room and never EVER come out. You're crazy and shouldn't be driving. Holy fug guys. Jakdar found a relatively low-buck system for anyone interested. You don't want it? Don't buy it. If I buy one, I can show my wife this thread so I can buy the new back-end addition to counter-act the demonic possibility that some subtle shift may occur as I blow through speed traps at 170 mph! All this whining has made me long for some accompanying cheese. Though some of the more fearful musings might suffice. I think for the money it's a fine system. There it is. Have a very merry and safe Christmas, Hunachka<---(sp), Kwanza, Ramadon, etc.
\spyderman33 said:One other thing, for the guys that got the muffler already: did it come with gaskets or did you need to buy some to install the muffler?
Just want to make sure I have everything ready tomorrow...
