    The ORW is too LOUD!

    .....according to a real 'charmer' of a police dude.

    He even tried to tell me to go to a dealer and compare it with a NEW stock VX...DOHHH!

    Seems he was already having a bad day.....

    ....now I have to comply ( for a few minutes anyway!)


    What a PITA!

    Its the same set up I had in Moab...though its mellowed out a tad now.

    Cost was about $600..thats including a diamond plate muffler..and 'real' twin pipe plumbing with twin tail pipes on each.

    Yea SDPD....cant find 'em when ya need 'em...then they pull the "noisy" card...

    ...while harleys and Ricers are ten times the volume!


    Go figure...

    I'll be a good boy..put a 'fix it' in for a while..then it'll mysteriously "break"!

    It started out as the "Off Road Warehouse" sticker on the back of Jo's ride...last year in Moab, it evolved.

    Look at Jo's sig...

    is there any type of tip out there that will just silence the exhaust a little???

    with jo getting this and me in my integra im worried about getting another one in my VX....

    i have a PV2 (i know its loud) so im just wondering if there is a tip i can throw on there till they calm down with this noise thing?

    Yep...this will knock a few dB off.

    I installed one in my OEM exhaust tip, after I found that my Borla "Turbo" was a little raspier than I would have liked.
    The angle of the pic makes it look shorter than it actually is, in theory, the surface area of the perforations is greater than the cross section of the pipe feeding the tip, so it shouldn't restrict flow very much, if at all.
    Also, it's a REAL tight fit, & required a rather robust amount of flogging with the two pounder, not to mention a box full of foul language...
