Just went and looked at it again. The tip is centered in the bumber cutout. There could be a very slight lean to the muffler itself, but standing back 20 feet, it ddoesn't jump out at you - at least not me. When you look down at it, you see "Virbrant" across the top of the tip - looks nice!

No, Tai doesn't install exhaust systems. Steve took that picture when he had his installed at some Exhaust Place. I am sure Tai is about 1/4 of this Gray Haired Dude's age

The tip is essentially flush with the lower edge of the bumper, which means that if you stand at the rear of the car and look straight down, you can't see the tip (the center of the bumber sticks out further than the bottom edge of the bumper).

Glad to see you liked it. Thanks again.

Anyone else can PM me for this exhaust or any other.

uggh I want my exhaust

its been sitting in NY for like 2 weeks now!!

cas909 · 03-17-2007, 04:33 AM

All I can say is WOW!! I too had the VERY long debate on which exaust to go go with. I had narrowed it down to Comptech, Vibrant or Tanabe. All of which in my opinion are great choices. I didnt want anything too loud either. God, this decision took forever because when I had finally made my decision and ordered the Comptech, they decided to stop selling to the public, so I was pretty much screwed. Tai from Corsport called and told me about the bad news. It took me a couple of days to finally make my decision. The vibrant exaust is AWESOME!! I am very happy with it. I too didnt get the clamp either but again, Tai got on it right away and had one aired out to me next day delivery. THANKS Tai!!! The sound clips do this exaust NO justice. Yes, you can definetly hear it and so can others(nice deep low tone), but damn it sounds so good. As a matter of fact it sounds just like the JIC I had on my Evo. The looks are second to none and the performance is great. The butt dyno definetly felt it. Just like the Author stated, this exaust gives you better mid range torque (we need this in the worst way), and you can imagine what it feels like when VTEC kicks in.

Okay, after all this Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy talk I finally got over this missing Clamp business and pulled the trigger on this exhaust.
I wanted a deep sounding system that doesn't look like a Fart Can typical Round Muffler from the back. I think this thing fits the bill.
Maybe it will be a tad louder than I would prefer but as long as it is a "Good Loud" I am okay with that.

Ordered it from our good friend Tai and he is shipping it out and I may even get it by this coming weekend. It's suppose to be nice and 71 degrees on Saturday so it would be the perfect time to install this baby.
I will save the 70 or so bucks and do it on my back in the comfort of my garage

I may take some more pics and soundclips with my Fuji Digi Cam but I am sure that they don't do the system justice. At least from what I have been reading from you guys.

Anyway, I finally made up my mind and I just hope I made the right decission and hopefully mine will be the first Vibrant system actually shipped with a Clamp. Tai assured me that it has the clamp included.
Hmm, we shall see.

***CorSport*** · 03-19-2007, 06:48 PM

Thanks again!

Leaves tomorrow!

I know you'll be happy with the Vibrant! I'm thrilled with mine. Just can't wait to hear it again. Waiting for my ECU to return...

Let me know how you like the Hondadata. I may have to save up for that one. May take me a bit to recover from my recent mods
