Thermal Research Exhaust Arrives! (See pics)

[lundgren]

Here it is:



Notice the 3 inch tube!


I've looked, and I'm going to have to get an adapter to connect to the 2.5 inch cat. I might even see if they have a 3 inch cat, I can use with the 2.5 inch collector on the header. We'll see.

I'm not sure when I'll get it installed though.

Is a test pipe out of consideration?

Yeah, I'm not going to run test pipe... in CO you have to have one... and for SM in SCCA, you have to have one too.

BTW, this pipe has no resonator.. straight through.

[Mr Rogers]

I noticed that they have a different muffler on the 3 ich setup. Probably to keep added noise levels down. The 2 1/4's have a round straight through can. Looks great though, wish I had one

Cool... get you a 3" Carsound Cat... I believe it actually flows better than a 2.5" straight pipe...

Damn it, I want(need) one for the GSR...

My Thermal R&D isn't loud at all so I don't think its fair to say all thermals are loud.

Man, I got rid of my thermal 2.25" exhaust after a year because of the excessive noise, I can't imagine what a 3" Thermal would sound like.
