Lightbulb Blitz Nur-Spec Muffler Pictures

Here are some pictures of the Blitz Nur-Spec Mufflers on my SC400. The Blitz literature lists them as being be for the SC300 but they fit the SC400 perfectly. They are polished mirror stainless and quite heavy duty. Here ya go....

I got them from my local speed shop. He did have a heck of a time finding a distributor in the USA who had them in stock. But he kept at it and got them in from California after a 3 week wait. The total cost which included shipping from CA to CT (cross country) was $685. Not cheap at all but very well built. They sound nice too. They quite down at speed. I love em. Constantly getting questioned about them from folks.

www.cyberauto.com lists them in their SC parts area I think.

Awesome! Thanks for the pics!

My roomate has hookups from BlitzUSA. They're headquartered not too far from where I am. He had the Nur Spec exhaust on his Accord and it was VERY loud. Even after putting on that silencer and putting in an extra resonator, it was loud. After a month or so, he got a fix-it ticket. Sucks.

So exactly how loud is this exhaust? If I get an exhaust, I want a relatively quiet one. But I also like the sound of aftermarket exhausts. I had a GReddy on my old Accord. It sounded good, but it got annoying after a while...

Don't worry. You will NOT get a fix-it ticket for running the Blitz Nur-Specs. At idle it sounds like a nice smooth gurgle and blurb. During acceleration they are more noticable but not loud at all. They are most loud at decelleration in the 40 to 30 MPH range where the downshift occurs from the higher gear to lower gear.

When cruising on the highway they are quiet inside the cabin. I have not removed any of the cats, center single forward muffler or the two rear resonators. I do suspect that if you took some of them off then the system would become louder.

The Nur-Specs are civil, no more or less noisy than the Borla system however a different look than the Borla.

Congrats on your new pipes! They look great!
By how you describe your exhaust, they sound like mine. Looking at your pipes make me wish I would have had my pipes angled upward and pushed out more. Again, they look great.

So the exhaust includes the entire piping? Is the piping stainless steel?

A few months back, my roomie told me that his blitz friend said that the SC300 exhaust was a prototype or something. And they only had a handful and sold them all. I don't know if that's completely true, but it supposedly came from a guy who works at Blitz.

Well, I guess I'll consider getting that exhaust. It looks real nice! I'm just not sure about the sound issue becuase I've heard my roomate's Blitz. He ended up driving with earplugs for a while.

Do you have those silencers on?

THe Blitz Nur-Spec is an axel back system with the pipes, hangers, bolts and washers needed to do the installation. You simply spray the OEM muffler bolts with some penetrating oil. You take them off and put on the new ones. The OEM mufflers have the a small section of pipe ahead of them welded on. The Blitz system (like many others) is a complete bolt on which includes the small seciton of pipe. It does NOT replace the two Y pipes, the cats, the central muffler nor the two rear resonators.

What I would like to find is a performance stainless system that replaces all the stuff up from from the cats back to and including the rear resonators. This would have to be a custom thing today as I have not found a system for sale.

I do not have the rear bolt on silencers, they are not needed IMHO. The system is not obnioxious.

I believe JIC exhaust is a complete system from cat all the way back... It looks pretty nice, I wonder if anyone from this forum installed one.

HEY HEy HEy!!

CUPETE!

Much thanks for finding that exhaust system. It looks like perhaps 1/2 of the entire system from the picture. The part with the mufflers looks like the axel back section and the wishbone looks like a replacement for the rear resonators!! I would like to get that resonator section and will try to call them tomorrow to see if I can just order that section and find out what it is made of. I hope it is stainless.

Again thanks for that post!
