Does the N1 Tail Silencer for ZF1 fit the US CR-Z?

Yes. Go Tuning, the sole US distributor for Spoon, sells the N1 Tail Silencer for ZF1 and ZF2 for the US CR-Z. In Japan, Spoon registers it for the 6-speed manual alpha grade of the ZF1 and the 1.5 alpha Dressed Label of the ZF2, and it bolts to the production mid pipe.

What does the N1 Type change about the sound?

Spoon tuned the N1 Type for an exhilarating sense of power and a racy tone, so it is clearly louder and sharper than the factory CR-Z muffler. Spoon publishes no decibel figure for this version, so BA does not quote one. The Spoon sub silencer, part SPP-18030-000, is the listed option for owners who want it quieter.

What size is the piping?

Spoon lists a 60 mm main pipe and a 65 mm outlet for the CR-Z silencer, with a listed weight of 5 kg. Flow volume and gas velocity are both kept generous, Spoon says, so the pipe sizing serves the engine rather than only the sound. The factory-standard flange means no adapter is needed at the mid pipe.

Is installation difficult?

No. The silencer takes the place of the factory rear muffler and bolts to the production mid pipe at a flange built to the factory standard, with no welding or cutting. A lift or ramps make the work quicker, and a new gasket at the joint helps prevent leaks on a car that has covered some miles.

Is it a good upgrade for a daily driven CR-Z?

It depends on the owner. For someone who enjoys working the 6-speed manual and wants the car to sound sportier on every drive, yes. For a driver who uses the CR-Z mainly as a quiet, economical commuter, the racing voice of the N1 Type is likely to be more than they want.

Description

Spoon Sports N1 Tail Silencer for ZF1 / ZF2 Honda CR-Z

The Spoon Sports N1 Tail Silencer for ZF1 and ZF2 CR-Z gives Honda’s hybrid sport coupe a rear muffler tuned for a strong sense of power and a racing sound. Spoon registers it for the manual alpha grades of both series, the ZF1 from 2010 and the updated ZF2 from 2012. It runs a 60 mm main pipe into a 65 mm outlet, is listed at 5 kg and keeps exhaust flow and gas velocity generous. A flange made to the factory standard lets it bolt to the production mid pipe with no fabrication, and the original muffler can be kept for a later return to stock. The CR-Z rewards drivers who use its gearbox, and this silencer is for them; owners who drive mostly for economy will find the factory muffler more restful.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
