Default Greedy

Im leaning heavily towards the GReedy. Not going with Cat-Backs, because I CARE about Low-End power, High-end is nice, but cant be used too often.

I guess I can get a max increase of 3-4 HP...Big deal. HAHA

Anyways, they have a quiet idle with a deep sound on accell...anyways that's what they say.

I really would prefere to hear them first. It would really suck to have anything that sounded even remotely close to a rice-boy honda.

Thanks - DK

chaos,

But the Greddy is a cat-back exhaust. Also, it won't sound like ricey for sure. Deep low rumble.

Don't get Greedy. It's bad to want too much
j/k man.

yah like what dru said, GReddys are cat-backs, one of the only few. If you want good looks and muffler only, try HKS Hipers or BLITZ NURspecs.

Thumbs up Blitz

Looks like the Blitz are a pretty good system.

Anyone have any comments on Blitz rather than the Greedy's ?

Your all convincing me NOT to get the Greedy's. HAHA

Both HKS and Blitz systems are extremely loud, aren't they?

Question

Hey guys,

I too am considering an exhaust system but I have a question I hope you can help me out on. Just like like chaos said, I care for low-end. If I do get the Blitz or HKS, are the stock pipes ideal for low-end?


Thanks

I'm not saying DON'T get "GReddy", I'm saying don'g get "greedy" .

Blitz NURspec's muffler doesn't hang that low. The canister is slimmer and sits higher so you'll have less of a problem scratching it.

Both are loud. They should both be close to what my N1s sound like (muffler only, cannon type muffler systems). You can listen to mine nexttime.

Low end, anything without a mid-pipe will work. So both Blitz and HKS should be about the same. Stock pipe is better than aftermarket pipe in low end.

Default Cat-back list??????

Globe, while your at it....Would you mind listing ALL of the cat(silencer)-back exhausts available for the GS400. Cwerlin is here in Austin and has the TRD, which I believe is also a cat-back.
Thanks, Tiny
