Thermal R&D operational!!!! - Honda Prelude Forum

ForTehNguyen · 02-22-2002, 08:42 PM

Got my thermal in two days thanx to cementups and its friggin sweet. Deep as heck and quiet when I want it to be. I really wanted to install myself but I didnt have a high enough jack, no room to work with. So I just took it to a shop and they did it. Now Im rolling around with a deep azz rumble. Thanks to all that helped me make my decision and thanks cementups for a good deal. Also there is about a .5 - .75" gap between my OEM kit and the muffler tip. Should I be concerned about the tip making heat and possibly damaging the paint there? If so, how would I protect it? Thanks

VRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOMMMMMMMMMM

It hasn't been a problem on mine, with over a years use, including nitrous use. So ease your mind, it'll be fine

Not a problem here. Man look at the other systems that are bigger and some of them do.

No one has a vid

Basically it has a very deep sound.

Gald your pleased with your purchase

Actually, I've got a sound clip of the exhaust revving up somewhere around here. Someone posted it up a while ago and I downloaded it. If I can find it I'll try and find somewhere to host it. If I can't get it hosted just give me your email and I'll send it to you.

i have the sound clip

nuro · 02-24-2002, 02:47 PM

my email is cali23917@aol.com

sound clips of any the thermal R&D would be great
also greddy evo maybe?

i'm trying to decide between thermal/evo/apexi

look doesnt matter to me, just as long as it doesnt rust.
nothing TOO loud (read: tanabe) but i like deep exhaust noise.
