Taitec GTLW or GT102? Which one to get?

[CDub]

Since you are in SoCal, you should at least look into this exhaust from Cantrell.

It looks very much like the GTLW that you are interested in.

The F1 version sounds incredible. Looks like it costs $2k?

Ver.5.1 sound great in the flash- had the pleasure last weekend. But the price!

If you guys want to get a group buy together let me know how many are interested and which exhaust system. Due to recent "improvements of current market exhaust systems" we are really not interested in a US distributor, we might want to open a shop in the US and that could complicate things a bit.:wink:

this one is slightly quieter than the sorcery one

I have the GT002 in standard version (no burnt tips) on my '98 (stock manifold/cats) and would say it is 1 stage louder than standard muffler but a lot less loud than the GTLW.
I feel the GT002 to be a perfect muffler if your NSX is a daily driver: hardly noticable when cruising but a nice decent roar when pushing it:wink: .
However, as my NSX is my funcar:biggrin: , I do want a bit more sound and so a GT-006 LW is on it's way from Japan, do hope it won't be TOO loud in the long run:redface:

Yesterday I changed from the GT002 to GT-006 LW and WOW, now it has the sound that really fits with the car without beeing too exessively loud
Will have to see how it will be on a long drive (for a daily driver I think it might be a little too loud), but at the moment I am very happy with it.
I do feel there is a noticable difference in sound depending on what manifolds etc are used/ difference between the 3.0L and 3.2 L engines.
My 3.2L stock headers/cats/GTLW is less loud than a friend's 3.0L aftermarket headers/cats/GTLW

I have Taitec JGTC Parallel, I think it has a more aggressive deeper pitch and loader than the GTLW. The GTLW is amost half the weigth of the Parallel. Both are great exhausts.

I have not herd the GT102, but PM RJP he could point you in the right direction.

Anyone know if theres a sound clip on this???

I recently had the GT-102 installed and had the GTLW on my previous NSX, personally I like the GT-102 better it is a more mellow tone with no droning, yet sporty. If you perfer a sharper note the GTLW can't be beat but does tend to drone at certian rpm.

I Just added the GTLW to my car and I love the sound. Its not to loud at all if you feather the pedal you can work the pitch anyway you wont. It makes the car come alive just as I had always wonted it to be from day one. Best part is my girlfriend likes it as much as I do, her words (sounds great). And this weekend we where in it for 2+ hours and she still loves it.
If you are a driver you will love the weight savings, the rear just seems a little less loose. I went from 46pds to a GTLW at 16pds. Thats big.

Anyone have the GT1 for daily driving? Is it tolerable day to day? Any regrets?

Let me clarify, GT-ONE, but not sure what the difference in different versions. Version 5 is a bit out of my price range but I'm very intrested in one nonetheless. Whats the diff. in each version? Thanks.
