[EURO] Greddy EVO2 Exhaust arrived

[stephen8512]

hey guys
well i got my Greddy EVO2 exhaust today. had to order it from the states as its not sold locally here in australia. took a risk of buying something online from a site other than ebay and it payed off. very happy with the trader and the freight company. :D
if only aftermarket support was as strong here as it is in the states for the TSX. *sigh* ahh well. i'll be def. ordering from them again.
its at my house. will take photos of it when i get home. cant wait to put it on!!! :D :D :D

here are some pics of cccoltsicehockeys and tsxondubs pics from tsx.acurazine.com

[PERTH_EURO]

that looks kwality :thumbsup:

[TeMp]

man the tinted rear lights make the car looks so mean! (mayb its also due to the zorst and rims, meaning your car will also look mean after the zorst :p )

[EuroAccord13]

Woah that is one pair of nice big fat MOFO of mufflers :D..

Don't forget installed pics and a review for us!

[euro77]

let us know how the setup goes and any improvements in power/torque and noise :)

[TypeG]

how much does it cost?
also any link to the online company you bought it from?

[SiReal]

just looking at how the bits were packed in the box. why are they just "thrown" in? i would've thought it'd have been strategically packed to avoid movage.

[stephen8512]

SiReal, its bloody heavy!! if u wanted to move those pieces, it would take some force.
and since the box cramps up the pieces, it has hardly any room to move anyway
and it was stuffed with those brown paper things

[TypeG]

how much does it cost?
also any link to the online company you bought it from?

:(

[TypeG]

just do a search in ebay
this exhuast go for $13XX shipped which is really a good price consider two mufflers with bpipe
also that trader selling injec intake and DC header for $900 as well =)

[stephen8512]

[kam]

is it legal to tint tail lights in melb? dam that looks hot

[PERTH_EURO]

no it wouldnt be. That tsx looks sweet with it done tho

[TypeG]

it is legal to tint the taillight i think

[STTICH]

not sure if its quite legal on the tinted tails.. but surely too many hav done it and it seems fine.

[yfin]

it is legal to tint the taillight i think

Sorry I don't think that is right. I know it is sad but once upon a time I read all those Standards Information Bulletins on the Vicroads website - you are asking to be defected by tinting the tails.

[TypeG]

different states different rules?

[yfin]

different states different rules?

You are in melbourne though aye? I am talking about Vic.

[TypeG]

yeah... coz i have many ppl who got his taillight tinted(slight tinted tho) and one of them has been pulled over but nth happen YET.
anyway, waiting for the review of exhuast still =)

[stephen8512]

review wont come will about early feb. waiting for after my 20K service like i said :D
although i cannot wait. its almost cruel because its in my room right now. im looking right at it. its just there...teasing me. LOL

[SiReal]

get a hair dryer and blow some hot air through it...mayeb you could simulate the exhaust a bit. haha..should keep you sane for a short while.

[stephen8512]

LOL @ SiReal
.....too late mate! :D

[kam]

wat about tinting the rear lights, but not tinting around the actual bulbs...ill have to check into this, looks seriously hot

[stephen8512]

hmm that would look a bit weird wouldnt it?
it'd look like a smoked version of the altezza me thinks

[Atjo]

Is 1.2K AUD including the tax?

[red_s2000]

Would be interesting to know the weight of the whole system compare to the stock one when you have taken it out. Also, a dyno before and after. It should sound nice, especially when VTEC kicks in.

[genk-jomblo]

Stephen ... Install your exhaust asap .. hehe :D and show it off to your dealer .. lolz ...

btw, im waiting for the pictures once all items installed.

NB: just curious why u need to wait until your 20K service ?

[stephen8512]

hey
i dont have to wait till my 20K service but i just want to. personal choice.
hahaha i'll be showing the dealer my bodykit and rims this time around
last time i showed them my injen intake and i heard them revving it. seems liek they had a kick out of seeing a done up euro after servicing all the boring stockies

[genk-jomblo]

haha .. its cool then stephen. :D

[stephen8512]

well, after 4 long weeks of waiting, waiting and waiting, the GREDDY EVO2 exhaust is finally installed!
i cannto believe how QUIET this is when its on idle!!! its EXACTLY the same as stock when ur inside the cabin!
but man......when u give it some, does it roar!......it roars up to 5000rpm then from 5000rpm onwards, the INJEN intake seems to come in and drown out the exhaust sound.
does not sound loud, very smooth and very very very very sexy! :D

[newmski]

(Y) post up some sound clips

[stephen8512]

i will later tonite
camera battery is dead and is charging as we speak. :D

[genk-jomblo]

waiting for the sound clip, stephen ...

stephen's exhaust sound at this moment:
roarrrrrrrrrrr ....

stephen's exhaust sound next month:
vroooommmm ... Pssssstttt ..... vroooommmm Psssss ... (SC) agree ?

[Chris_F]

haha damn this exhaust is gona look good with the full mugen kit :thumbsup: cant wait to see it man

[stephen8512]

ahahahhaha genk next month SC?!?!
man i can oonly dreaaaaaaaaaaam!!!

chris, yeah it looks real flush! i think the rear sets it off. if i didnt have the rear and had no bodykit and whacked this on it woulda looked like 2 nipples in a/c

And here are some sound/video clips you might wanna check out

From the outside

From inside the cabin
http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~stephen.lee/Misc/GreddyEVO2-02.AVI

INITIAL IMPRESSIONS
Well, the sheer size of it is beefy as you can tell from these photos. 4.5" tips!!!!! you can literally fit your whole fist in the tips and theres still room!!!! At idle when u first turn on the car, in cabin sounds VERY close to stock. very quiet
when it wants to be but when u punch it, boy does it roar!

its very much like the injen if u think about it. the INJEN CAI is loud when u bang it @ WOT but can be very quiet when it wants to be (for all those with INJEN and even K&N Typhoon CAI's will know what im talkin about)
Same deal with the GREDDY EVO2. Quiet, but @ WOT, it sounds very nice. not farty, just a nice deep rumble.

When @ WOT however, the sounds of the exhaust gets drowned out by the CAI @ 4500-5000rpm. The CAI is actually louder than the exhaust at the higher rev ranges. :D so best of both worlds really. Lower rev ranges u have the nice deep sound of the exhaust while at the higher rev ranges and VTEC, the INJEN CAI does its job very nicely.

Overall, i think this is a very very good exhaust. Its made by GREDDY so u know its quality. Nothing cheap like lukey or watever. Plus its JDM.
I recommend the FUJITSUBO Legalis R if u want it a bit quieter than mine, but so far, I love this exhaust.
I wouldnt recommend this exhaust for power gains. While there are some gains, its pretty heavy and it doesnt have as much gains as, say, an amuse titanium single exhaust straight thru.

Well, thats my impressions of this exhaust. First GREDDY EVO2 owner for the euro. keep on VTECCIN y0!!! :D

[_CiVIC_]

Wow... All I can say... Speechless.. Awesome sound purrs like a well trained cat arghhh makes me want to go splash some money on my dc5 haha!! Awesome job man, can't wait to see this car in the flesh!! CRUISE CRUISE!!! :wave:

P.S I've watched the vid 5times already hahahaha

Good Job :thumbsup:

[raz05]

"First GREDDY EVO2 owner for the euro"
Nice sound, the exhaust tip looks huge from the back.
very nice lookin exhaust

[aaronng]

Damn, I can't DL the first vid. The 2nd one is fine.

[stephen8512]

sorry
there we go
1st link file name was wwrong
all links work now pplez

[aaronng]

I noticed that you reduced the audio quality to keep the size down. Why don't you compress your audio stream into mp3, and your video to xvid? I did that to your 2nd vid and the file size dropped to 1.7MB with the exact same quality. If you don't know how to compress it, pass me the original clip and I'll do it for you. You can pass me the vid through msn. :)

[stephen8512]

they were just straight from the digicam
no compression work at all
aaron wats ur msn
add me
stephen8512@hotmail.com

[me_kevinly]

looks nice
i like the tip

[mugen88]

Thanks for sharing, nice job.

Did the whole Greddy system fit straight into existing factory hangers or did you have to play around with it to fit?

[stephen8512]

nope
straight bolt on

[BiLL|z0r]

So you did it yourself on a hoist or took it to an exhaust place?

[stephen8512]

took it to BEL garage and they did it for me
could not be bothered doing DIY

[driven]

how much did it cost for you to install it?

[stephen8512]

120. which is pretty good considering that if iw anted to DIY it, the car jack stands were 30 bucks a pair (needed 2 pairs so 60 bucks) and the trolley jack cost 45 bucks.....
i get a warranty on their installation too

[me_kevinly]

thats cheap
where abouts is that garage?

[stephen8512]

http://www.belgarage.com.au/
they recently relocated to regents park i think

[TypeG]

look not too good
too big and fat
luckily u got Mugen kit or even worse

[stephen8512]

meh u got ur opinion i got mine :D

[h22a accord]

looks good, will look better once the inside of those huge tips get coated black! Looks silly with the inside of the tips all clean as there is a huge 4.5 " tip with a little hole at the end of them! you will not notice when black and sooty!

[TypeG]

yeah coz i am not a big fan of big tip
but we do have the same taste on bodykit
=)

[Pumped]

Very nice indeed, gives me ideas :)
got any pics of the front of your car?

[free2d]

Which is the best exhaust? I am using 5Zigen ProRacer single now, but thinking of changing to N1. So which one? Spoon N1, Apexi N1 etc?

How long did it take to get to Aust from TSX parts?

Did you choose express delivery or std?

Did it cost $1200 US or Aust, including shipping?

[stephen8512]

1200 including everying. shipping and for the exhaust
www.tsxparts.com
talk to a guy called NORM. he'll sort u out.
took about 2 weeks to get here. they use a company called BAXGLOBAL. and norm will give u a tracking number so u can track exactly where it is.

[euro77]

do you have to pay any taxes?

[mugen88]

Thanks for the info.

Can you confirm the exact Greddy product number off the box for the EVO 2 system.

Also did TSX Parts provide an invoice with delivery of the goods and what if any Aust tax's did you have to pay to upon delivery in Aust for the EVO 2?

Thanks for your assistance.

[stephen8512]

yep TSXparts provided me with a typed invoice that came when BAXGLOBAL delivered the goods to my place.
all i know is that i paid 1.2K for EVERYTHING. taxes and shit included

[mugen88]

Thanks,

Can you quote the Greddy EVO2 product number off the box if you still have laying around.

Much appreciatted :D .
