Spoon N1 on a long tunnel run is epic - I had to change mine for the same reason as you, so understand the need for change. I overtook someone on a back road dropping down to 2nd once with the Spoon, and they probably didn't know I was there, as they swerved to the left (luckily not to the right) in surprise as I passed from the noise. My mate with a modded CRX said it sounded like a TIE fighter went I when passed him in 3rd on the m'way!

it sounds like a rally car bro, so awesome

Hey Olly, sounds amazing chap, really similar to my 3 inch, sitting at 70mph from Dynodaze. Solid fab quality. Great video👌👍

Nice one! Good to know I'm not alone on that sound. It's a worthy trade off though!

The old system does sound slightly nicer, plus the little flame/pop between gears, but I guess the trade off now is you have a smoother map from one of the best mappers out there, and more power! :)

You won't regret it! My ground clearance is actually better than before but that could be down to the fact that the Solid Fab is actually well made and I had some bodge section on the Spoon manifold that may have made it sit lower

For sure! Overall it's far nicer to live with! Yeah, that is on the list now the power is all sorted.

So Ive had the solid fabs full big bore exhaust sytem installed on my pre-facelift for a few years now (decat but I have the HKS cat just case). I have a gruppem intake with rbc inlet too and skunk2 DIC cams. All I can say is it aint super silent, its too frickin noisy, I get a headache driving it. I miss my Fujitsubo tbh. The constant exhaust noise just on daily driving in traffic is too much. I bought it as the CAMs were limited by the exhaust and it was suppose to be "super silent". Tbh in my opinion is too loud on daily driving and it hangs way too low. Im on eibach springs and it scrapes across the floor sparks flying every where on b-roads. the mid pipe is smashed to crap. I have to lift off on bits of road where everyone else is hitting it harder due to this. Going super charged this year (had a jackson charger in the garage for about 6months) Im gonna put the sports cat on and raise the car on something like MeistersR's to try and reduce the noise and try and make it stop scraping. Just my opinion fellas.

@OllyRoss

I would agree that it isn't quiet but compared to my Spoon system, it is way less noisy. mine also fits really nicely under the car so I hardly rub on anything. Sounds like you have a fix for it all though! That will be a fun set up

Solid fab defo sounds more aggressive, Spoon sounds 'steriotypical Honda' which is cool don't get me wrong but the solid fab sounds like a beast in my opinion!

That is a tough one then. The V band definitely makes sense when having the whole thing but just the catback would be mean you will need to modify the end of your current manifold.
