Ssr header, xforce 2.5 inch cat back with cat and resonator and x force twin loop.

Test was done at engineering so what ever the EPA/ADR rpm requirements are. My intake is what makes all the noise.

And yes it is nice to be able to cruze around and not have exhaust noise all over the joint. Get enough road/tyre noise as it is lol

My DC2R was tested and past EPA with Mugen Intake, SMSP headers, Sard high flow cat and mugen twin loop exhaust.

Shiiieeet... a stock exhaust/intake system already peaks at around 87db, pretty impressive since most aftermarket system are well above 91db

It's good as it does not draw attention.

91dB on cartoons setup? Whoa how?

My old setup was PLM 4-2-1, no cat, 1 cheapy resonator and xforce twin loop on 2.5' mandrel bent b16a2, I was way above the 91dB mark @ 4k RPM. No way I'd pass EPA Noise Pollution test.

Mention the words EPA and I'll flip a table. LOL

Friend and I spent a whole weekend pushing an S15 under the 90dB rule, only to be told in the second test "We didn't see your blow off valve earlier, so get rid of that too" - wasted another $60 on testing. :O

@sambooyy - Personally I don't care about noise levels. If i get defected then I will deal with it. There is no way I'm taking a car with no cat to an EPA test (I will cancel the rego the very next day and rego it a week later).

I think its $40,000 fine for no cat. Something ridiculous like that.

I have a backyard filled with old Honda Stock honda parts that i've kept over the period of playing with honda's.

You actually lose power with no cat lmao, your ecu isnt tuned for it, dunno why people even bother....

A member here did a back to back dyno test with a test pipe and normal cat on a DC2R stock ecu, the test pipe yielded less power.

ROFL so much for power gains without a cat

I remember Video option japan did the same test with the top secret GTR, there was only like 5 percent power lose with the cat vs no cat, not much at all
