I purchased my Spyder new in 2001 at the age of 65. It only has 28,000 miles on it because I garage it from November to April. Since purchasing, I have installed some modest improvements: Remus dual-outlet exhaust; TRD Stainless headers (no pre-cats); Unichip programmed ECU; K&N Air Filter;TRD short-shift unit; JDM badges (nose, wheels and steering wheel). In addition, I swapped out the OEM transmission lube for MT-90 (shifts much smoother) and the engine has never tasted anything other than Mobil One synthetic. It runs great except for a terrific interior drone at speed. (Multiple trips, Detroit-to- Indy for F-1 and MotoGP races). Should I swap out the exhaust system (which still looks as pristine as day one) for a quieter one, or just enjoy the noise and the inability to enjoy - no, even hear - CD's,tapes, or the radio at speed? From outside, the sound seems pretty mellow -kind of a cross between a TR-3 and an XK-120 :lol:
Any suggestions out there?
