Taj said:nsxsupra,
I would like to check out you Taitec GT with and without the silencer installed in the next OC meet. May be I can live with it with the silencer on and remove the silencer occasionally to annoy my neighbors.
NetViper said:Well, there is no question on my butt dyno. :biggrin: The GT does pull harder than stock, but I noticed it pulling harder probably 6K+. I noticed the anytime pulling harder from 4K and harder than the GT. I was impressed with the GT, but the anytime was to me a better fit. And those that say it felt faster because it was louder, that is not the case at all because the anytime is not as loud as the GT. Anyway, the reality is it was probably only 2-3 rwhp, but to me, the anytime is a better product and does NOT drone in the cabin.

Dyno result of before/after Taitec GT Lightweight exhaust, with/without silencers.
Specs of the car:
92 5spd, 26k miles, Royal Purple 10w/30, Cantrell AIS with foam air filter. new fuel filter, NGK Iridium spark plugs, Toyo T1-S rear tires.
Quick review of the Taitec GT Lightweight exhaust:
Sound:
It sounded amazing at idle and when you get on throttle, very deep and rich sound, no more sewing maching sound, can't hear injectors anymore, just as quiet as stock during cruising speed, not too loud at all. No need for silencer.
Performance:
This far exceeded my expectation. There is absolutely no loss of low end torqure at all, which was my #1 concern. Took a brief drive, my jaw dropped completely, the car simply felt much more explosive mid~top range. Not just noticeable, very noticeable.
Quality:
The built quality is top notch, very lightweight, the stock exhaust with heat shield definitely felt so much more heavier, at least 3 times as much. Can't go wrong with Taitec products.
Overall:
:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:
278rwhp is incredible anyway you look at it.JChoice said:270rwhp with no headers?
My gosh.. I got just over 278whp with Stage II cams, headers, AIS, and Taitec exhaust.
There are not many dyno results on pre-97 nsxs with just exhaust no header. I asked similar questions in the past:Bobolinski said:Has anyone done a Dyno with BB RM exhaust with similar setup. I love the rich sound it produces with no droning?
nsxsupra said:Finally did some extensive driving last night, Indeed there are cabin droning just as NetViper described
I much would prefer no cabin droning at all, especially for NSX, but it is borderline acceptable for me, the improved sound overall still outweights the negative for me, the sound level difference is very dramatic when you are on or off gas.
George,geometro said:Since you mentioned you have the silencers, I'm curious how much it helps in cutting down the noise or droning... It's all subjective, but I would like to know your perception of what the droning is like relative to with and without silencers.
Thanks!

nsxsupra said:the droning is way overrated, there are many prime members with GT lightweight exhaust, out of all of them, only 1 or 2 people had problem with it droning issue.
NetViper said:I seriously doubt that. Myself and another guy in savannah both got rid of the exhaust because of droning. There are many more than just us.
If your car is not a daily driver, it might not bother you.
Seth@SoS said:The GTLW is not for everyone, but if you are looking for the best all around exhaust with a bit more of an aggressive exotic tone, superior weight savings, top notch quality, and great fit and look it's my #1 recommendation...
Seth@SoS said:Actually in the last two years of selling the GT lightweight (our #1 selling exhaust) I have had 2 people switch it out for sound reasons, NetViper being one of them.
I try to give good warning to any customers who I feel might be looking for something a little more conservative, a lot of people after learning more about the exhaust and its sound can make a better decision of whether or not the GTLW would be appropriate for them.

JChoice said:When I got mine I first thought, "man, this is a bit too loud". I got used to it after a week or so. This is by far, one of the best purchases I made for the NSX. I am constantly redlining the car just to hear the exhaust.
In VTEC, it sounds like a second exhaust sound comes on and it has this great exotic and powerful sound sound. It sounds absolutely fantastic.
amgnsx said:what droning r u talking about?? i dont hear any...
the only loudest the JGTC gets is around 3k-4k rpm anything over seems to quiet down,
I know exactly what u feel :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:
mine seems fine and LOVE the JGTC!!! :biggrin:
I highly recomend the JGTC.
The figures quoted are for rear wheel horse power, the 270 hp are measured at the crankshaft. 10-12% loss from drivetrain is the typical accepted difference.robfenn said:Am i missing something, i thought standard NSXs were 276bhp (and under rated)?
It is 270.1 rwhp not bhp.robfenn said:Am i missing something, i thought standard NSXs were 276bhp (and under rated)?
