Dyno test - Buddy club Pro-Spec Exhaust

[justinfox]

OK guys, just came back from a session at the dyno to test the Buddy club dual Pro Spec exhaust.

Here's a before and after dyno test performed in shootout mode on IS Motor Racing's dyno tonight.

I suspect exhausts have to bed in and potentially more gain would be had if we dyno tested again in a few weeks. Although some people are very particular about dyno reading accuracy, and would prefer to see dyno test performed at the same time on the same day, from feedback I have gotten from Chris at IS Motor Racing, you could put a car on their dyno now and 6 months later and only get 1kw difference.


DYNO BEFORE


AFTER

A healthy gain! A/F is a bit crazy now with the exhaust, some tuning would be good down the line.

Images and review will be up tomorrow.

I need to get around to dyno'ing mine with the Invidia and the K&N PIFK.

Want a before and after for when I put the Invidia Test Pipe in too.

Doubting I'll get much gains. Good to see some can be achieved though for more than just sound....

that looks nice.

how much does the BC exhaust go for?

WOW nice review. Very nice the exhaust.

[datzlr]

how much you pick it up for and do they have single exhaust systems ?

Guys check the Buddy club web site for RRP prices:

This is the only dual exhaust in the range. The rest are singles and much lighter because they are single. Having said that, the stock single piece exhaust is so damn heavy that I've saved 10kg with the Buddy club dual! That's a very decent weight savings. Anyways, more pics and full review tomorrow. I'm going to test the silencers that came with the kit too (2 of them of-course).

I have the Spec IV exhaust, as a reference point you can pick up the whole cat back in 1 hand easily.

Yes I checked the Spec IV. One piece and it's ridiculously light. A lot lighter than the dual Pro Spec I have (I love light weight so I was a little upset it wasn't insanely light lol). The Spec IV's had mixed reviews on the sound. How do you find it? Apparently it's more of a raspy sound whereas the Pro Spec is super bassy and deep.

I've got a fair bit of in cabin drone coming from this exhaust. It's pretty loud from inside the cabin, you can drive it in a way that you don't get much drone... something I will perhaps get used to. But the gains made are great. I suppose gains come at the cost of noise.

[ludecrs]

I think all aftermarket S2000 exhausts have that drone... dependent on how loud the drone is varies from exhaust companies.

I find if you hold the V3 at 5500rpm, its dead silent, but as soon as it moves either way, esp into vtec, its exceptionally loud.
100km/h about 4000rpm, drone, no matter what.... I'm used to it though.

You can use body deadener to decrease the drone sound though.
