Scott and the folks were working on it when I stopped by during lunch... not sure if they made it in time for shipping.

Soooo sorry.

For sure the B-pipe won't fit. Let me clear this up on Monday the latest. Maybe I can get in touch with Scott over the weekend.

I don't think it was your mistake, someone from Stromung called me a few weeks ago to verify my credit card number and he confirmed it was for a sedan. They must have just grabbed the wrong box.

Got mine in, i'll post pictures later on. Sounds great! Not too loud, distinct low hum, except when you floor it. When you floor in the car you might not tell what noise it's making but to people outside... it sounds like a performance race car in the distance....

very nice, I think it fits the Legend personality. Subtle/Classy ride, with a bit of sport in it when pushed.

Only problem:
Two things, the gasket looks odd...like they drilled an extra hole to make an existing hole larger. It works, but still...lol...

Second, I'm getting a slight squeek/rubbing sound from the exhaust area, I believe it's the exhaust pipe rubbing up against the metal that shields the gas tank. Due to larger diameter? Anyone else experience this?

Excellent! Yes, get under the car and wiggle the exhaust a bit and see what's rubbing. I had the same. Just push the heat shield aside a little... then wiggle again to make sure it's good.

It was a pleasure to meet you and too bad you couldn't make the SoCal meet. Check out the pictures.

The gasket is like that for adjustment purposes. If your old flange was rusted to death like mine, and you need to tap another hole that is slightly larger than stock, it gives you that wiggle room you need without having to tear into the gasket.

....shit who am I kidding, they probably did that by accident...LOL

FutureX 2001 · 04-07-08, 01:39 PM

Heh, I thought they ran out of gaskets and in order to fill orders in time and not keep us waiting longer... they drilled another hole. It's really not a big issue, but I did notice....

FutureX 2001 · 04-07-08, 01:41 PM

Oh and...

Don't forget this metal ring from the old setup..

...and for comparison..

If it's making the thread too slow I'll make them links...

We're sure it's a coupe b-pipe. The muffler is the same. Your new B-pipe will go out today or tomorrow.

My apologies... again.

Anyone on the east coast wants a coupe B-pipe shipped for $115?

dibs but I also need the exhaust ! Trying to work something out with that.

Acura9991 · 04-07-08, 08:50 PM

i would be interested in purchasing one if this group buy is still going on

FutureX 2001 · 04-07-08, 11:51 PM

I want to add...

The weird noise I was getting went away, I looked under the car and felt around the exhaust piping a bit, one of the heat shields that is on the car above the highest bend of the exhaust was rubbing. I managed to push it up with my hand and bend it slightly...1-2 inches. Worked...

Ophidian · 04-08-08, 01:37 AM

Any word/update on us G1's yet?

OneBadNA1NSX · 04-08-08, 01:45 AM

Would any of you G2 Legend Sedean people be willing to take shots of your underbody for me? I would like to see if I am able to bolt-on the Stromung on my RL still

Thanks!
