    I know this might be a bit much to ask, but would any of you mind posting a video of your car running? I've seen Patrick's car on YouTube. Sounds great!

    I do not know if this is how a typical SPEC I exhaust sounds (I've got DPI camshafts also), but here's a video I posted last year of my setup:



    Volume levels due 100% to the camshafts (otherwise it's as quiet as stock I believe). Anyone have a different sound with a SPEC I setup? Or is it just mine that sounds like this?

    I'll cast my vote for the Stainless UK Exhaust. I loved the way it sounded, and also the way it looked. If you go with it, you HAVE to get the polished version. It definitely brightens up the engine bay.

    I'm mid-way through installing my DPI SPEC I exhaust and it gets my vote for sure. Easy to install, amazing quality and it fits like a glove.

    In the next few days - when I have time really - I will be posting a comparison of UK exhaust VS DPI Spec I. Since I have both, I figured I'd at least put that info out there along with some pictures in order to help one compare.

    Shep, your car sounds great! That's nearly the exact sound I'm going for. The only mods you've made are the camshaft and exhaust?

    I'm now torn between the UK and DPI exhaust.....

    As far as drivetrain goes, yes, those are the only two mods I've done. There's a lot of other unrelated mods (e.g. footwell lights), but those two alone really make my D a head turner. Literally because of the sound, they hear it before they see it

    It is a rare occasion. We have all eight configurations of this system in shop as we speak. My audio friends will be making a compilation of all systems. The options are:

    SPEC I Manual trans with cats
    SPEC I Manual trans without cats (discontinued)
    SPEC I Manual trans cat back
    SPEC I Manual trans without cats and cams (partially discontinued)
    SPEC I auto trans with cats
    SPEC I auto trans without cats (discontinued)
    SPEC I auto trans without cats and cams (partially discontinued)
    SPEC I auto trans cat back
