SRS Cat-back Exhaust Test/Review. Pics
Alright people. I decided to buy this exhaust, my fit is the guinea pig.
First off. The exhaust wasnt scheduled to be here till tomorrow, I got it a day early. Wooohooo!
First off. Packing was simple. Bubble wrap, foam peanuts in little bags.
Pulled the exhaust pieces out with no mess. Bolts and gaskets were mounted to the exhaust pieces. No baggies. Could be good and bad. Gaskets can get bent, same if they were in bags though.
Heres the exhaust compared to the OEM. Notice its 3 piece. I have no idea why, not the best in design. That middle piece seems like an exhaust flow obstruction (flanges...)
Piping is 2.25in I believe. You can see the difference.
Notice mine is missing a hanger? The curve just before the resnator. Welds were there but no hanger. I used a worm clamp.
Exhaust hangs a little low. Not too bad though. I think its due to me having the T1R cat-delete. I noticed after I installed it my OEM hung a bit lower.
Install was a breeze. I used the new gaskets and bolts that came with it.
All bolted up fine with no problems.
The tip comes up short. About 2in too short
Muffler doesnt look too bad. Not my style though. My axle-back would NOT fit on this cat-back. The cat-backs flanges are flat and the OEM flanges use donuts. It may work? I didnt try it but I eye balled it.
Sound. It actually sounds really nice! Remember I have NOT CAT. From 2500-3200rpms revving it has a buzz but after that its deep as hell.
Its actually almost too deep, so deep that its really loud.
I was really worried it was going to be horribly buzzy. Not at all. Although Im going to change the muffler.
Is it worth it? Id say so. I didnt really notice any gain in low end. After 3500rpms it really pulls though!

It looks dead on like the Modacar exhaust, which I returned because I didn't like the fact that the axle back did not bolt up to the stock b-pipe. The welds looked okay, but the quality of the material wasn't up to par as the Japanese exhausts I have experience with (this exhaust was made in China). The only good thing about it was the $139 blowout price on it. Also for some reason the silencer that was supposed to come with it wasn't in the box.

This is the selled of the exhaust system.
I find it weird that since I bought this exhaust he has no listings for the Fit anymore.

I know if I had a cat the exhaust would actually sound really low tone. As I said, its not buzzy all the time. Low RPMS it tends to give off some buzzy, but its a deeper buzz. Not a high pitched rasp.
As for looks. It looks like a Greddy Evo, minus the huge tip. Its like a mini Greddy. I find myself walking around the car all the time. I think it looks good. But Im changing the muffler.
Since Im a test0r. $180shipped.
I dont really know? I dont think it is, that would suck because I dont like them much.
Judging buy what this guy said. (Below)
It seems like it is the Modacar. They claim SrS cat-back.
The only thing I dont like about this exhaust is that my axle-back doesnt bolt up. Or at least I dont think it will. Im going to try it today. Looking at it, doesnt seem so.
Mine came with a silence, not that Ill ever use it.
Ill try to get a sound clip before I remove the muffler. My mom needs to bring her digicam from work back.
EDIT. I just installed my Axle-back. Fit with lots of tightening. Going to work!

Looks pretty awesome. And i agree if you didnt have the cat delete you would loss the raspyness or atleast not as much. How about a sound clip?

The TwinLoop looks identical to the way it looked before. My guess its the axle-back supplied with the exhaust system is too short? I told the seller that and I guess hes going to revise them?
My axleback had a slight exhaust leak. Took it to an exhaust shop for the hanger and they put in a longer donut. Works fine. No leaks, sounds better than ever.
I actually do have another side shot. Not the best but it gives you an idea.
I got a vid. It had the slight exhaust leak in this vid, the TwinLoop was installed. I love the sound, even if it has some Honda buzz.
Hope it works. I can really hear the leak in this vid. Ewww. It sounds really nice now.

I have headers/exhaust/CAI. I tried running without the silencer and it was LOUD. It was loud enough to shake the rear of my car a little along with anything small that wasn't bolted down (i.e. coins). I definitely needed to put the silencer on.

Yeah that's definitely the Modacar one. I have it, but my b-pipe had the bits that went into the stock rubber flanges. Weird that yours didn't. Probably just a small mistake.

I also found it weird that they claim it bolts up to any axle-back in which I had to get a new donut washer to make mine stop leaking. It didnt just "bolt up."
I saw the exhaust listed on her for about 260-280 plus shipping. Mine was a steal!
As for the silencer, its the muffler. The muffler is a piece of crap. My TwinLoop knocked the sound down by almost 50%. Pretty crazy. It sounds like it did before with the stock Bpipe. No noise at idle (biggest problem with the old muffler) and actually sounds pretty similar at WOT also.
I enjoy the exhaust though. A good buy IMO.
