You can buy number 1 parts at NOPI shows. They are one of the supporters.

Well I just put the exhaust on about 1 week ago. To let all of you know I have got nothing but good compliments about that exhaust. It has a mean sound to it, I will post pics and some clips soon.

This kit has been ordered by me and several other SL Tc owners. Keep your eyes open for the reviews. The kit is nice and for 157 shipped Ill buy two so when one breaks I have a back up. HA

Measure the pipe diameter when you get it...

It honestly looks like a rebadged Tsudo..

It is. If it came from Nopi all they did is find out who was making Tsudos and cut out the middle man.

Hate all you want...but for 157.00 dollars...you cant beat that..

If the can looks to ricy what ever that means to you....hell, its still cheap enough to buy, cut off the muffler and reweld a new muff on and still be cheaper than most axel backs out.

I do believe it is exactly the same as the Tsudo and I bet they are made in the same shop in Taiwan and just weld on a different palque.......

Mine is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, I cant believe people are hating calling this a cheap exhaust...WELL..IT IS....I bought all name brand parts for my 2000 Si. I paid over 600.00 for a RS-R catback from Japan and added the same hp/torque gains as any cheap exhaust.....If you wanna spend the money for name brand, go ahead. I'd rather keep the extra money to use else where......

I plan to do a full review and install write up Friday, I have installed a Tsudo on a friends tC, so I will be able to reconize if there is a diff....I know of one already.....The Number ! dosent have that butt ugly twist silencer...I will be off from work and have ample time to break stuff!
