Default Blitz Nur Spec!

lol that is one enormous run on sentance ... took me a few tries to read it correctly. Putting in the silencer wont make it run better, but worse... you're putting a 3"-1" reducer in it basically... causing enormous backpressure. Yes it will be quieter... and yes it will feel like its faster in the bottom end , but you will lose tremendous amounts of top end (imo). good choice on exhaust tho!

Yeah, I have the nur spec r too, and I ran with the silencer in for a while and despite the freaking rattle, I liked it since I could hear my passengers a lot better. The silencer also solved my boost creep problem, but at the expense of lost power, it is out again. I had it in when I was on the highway and raced a AMG SL55, he pulled on me hard, I know he still would of killed me without my silencer, but he just freaking left me in the dust. That's a nice car, 0 -60 in 4.3 would feel great!! Oh well, just thought I'd share my story.

PS: Aqua Teen Hunger Force is awesome!!

116+mph trap speed in the 1/4 mile is what would leave you in the dust!!
