Caveat Emptor!
I got a pride exhaust V2 on my 1998 NSX. The exhaust fits very well and sounds awesome. It is also very light. Here some pictures.
:wink:
lol i know but i think its only fair that ppl know that this is basically a rebranded exhaust from previous attempts at trying to sell this thing.... it makes you wonder why it has so many names.....
I want to start this review by thanking Mark at Pride. He has been excellent to work with the entire time. Very good guy. Excellent communication. I highly recommend him. Mark was leaving for vacation the next day when we talked, but he made sure to get the exhaust packed up that night because he knew I wanted it for Friday. Again, great guy!
Now to the exhaust.
Bad news first. It does drone. It isn't bad, but it is right around 2300-2700. Not as bad as the GT Lightweight -- but nothing is. Hopefully over time it will quiet down a litte. If it didn't do this, it would easily be the best exhaust I have ever heard.
The Good.
Everything else!!!
The Fitment is excellent. It was very simple to install. It took my about an hour and half to get my old exhaust off, and 20 minutes to put the pride on.
I know there were fitment issues with the earlier exhausts, but I can tell you this one is great. See the pix.
The Sounds is awesome. From outside the car it sounds really great, inside it sounds good, but not near as loud as outside. In fact, cruising on the interstate it is near stock sounding at 3,000 RPM. Very nice. It is not obnoxious in any way.
The exhaust looks great also. Nice Tips, great size. It looks tough on the car.
I think I weighed it about 28 lbs, not bad at all.
So enough of my yapping, check out the pix and the videos. The videos are not great as my wife recorded them the wrong way with her iPhone 4, but you are watching for the sound anyway.
Please feel free to ask any questions.
Again, thanks to Mark. Great stuff!

I installed the Pride V2 exhaust today. The exhaust sound FAR exceeded my expectations. I've heard the gt one 5.1, this i guess is supposed to sound like the 6.1. WHATEVER its supposed to sound like, it fits my car perfectly!!! I was thinking it was gonna be an el-farto. The 5.1 was tinny but this one is definitely a refined head tuner!!!!!!!! Completely tolerable while cruising but sounds like a refined exotic sports car when stomped on. Even when i stomped on it, it was quiet in the cabin. I was skeptical but after driving and getting a thumbs up from Alas-nsx, i am happy with it.:biggrin: Aggressive looking cars need an aggressive exhaust!!!!!!!!!!!
Pros-reasonably priced, EXCELLENT customer service, packaged well, fitting exotic sound, easy install. Ti slip on tips look nice and can help in adjusting the tips sticking out from the bumper.
Cons-I still need to adjust it some, the tailpipes are off a little and the passenger side tip touches the rear valence a little. THIS COULD be corrected by tweaking or maybe in need to adjust the brackets. Its definitely not a deal breaker. I'm sure every car is different.
Here are some pics and a clip, im making more this weekend.
Here's a clip of the sound before i took it off the jack stands. Its amateur:biggrin: Driving sounds very good, i'll try to get some clips this weekend.

I want to thank you guys for your patience. Currently we have reintroduce our Pride V1 exhausts. We have a couple instock and they are the dual tips (single per side). All exhausts have been fitment tested. We offer adaptors for 95-99 NSX's for $100 extra. We currently don't offer any adaptors for the 00-05's (coming soon). You'll have to either get them from SOS or another Prime member.
On the Pride V1 Exhausts our reintroductory price will be $950 shipped & insured. We also sell true titanium burnt slide on tips for $50 for the pair. See below pictures for reference.
Pride V2 exhausts will be available on a seperate group buy. The V2 prices are $1100 shipped for the dual and $1130 shipped for the quads. The differences are the design on the pipings.
With Titanium tips:
Installed on a 02+ valence:
