Honda NSX / NSX-T GEN 1 V6 Valved Exhaust System (1990-2005)

The Honda NSX / NSX-T GEN 1 V6 exhaust in detail.

The first NSX, fine-tuned by Ayrton Senna, reinvented the usable supercar: a mid-mounted naturally aspirated VTEC V6, 274 hp and 298 Nm, that revs high and sounds right. Produced from 1990 to 2005, it belongs to the aristocracy of engineers’ supercars, and its engine deserves a presence that the polite factory exhaust only partly delivers.

The Rog system gives it back that presence without betraying the character of an engineers’ car: with the valves open, the V6 gains depth at high revs; with the valves closed, the original refinement remains intact. For an NSX project, write to us: a car of this calibre deserves a dedicated conversation. The second-generation hybrid NSX has its own page, and your VIN is checked before manufacturing.

About two hours in the workshop are enough, with no welding, and any factory valves keep their control, with the Rog remote replacing it otherwise.

The front part, which carries the V6’s catalytic converters, is listed under the “Manifold” option; on this naturally aspirated engine, its benefit lies mainly in breathing, with an accompanying ECU remap bringing only a modest gain, around 3 to 8%. A GEN 1 NSX still driven on the road will keep the 200-cell version, the only one that retains emissions control; the 100-cell will be accepted or not depending on the vehicle and your country’s rules, and the decat remains reserved for track use. The choice between 304 stainless steel and titanium, around 40% lighter, is made with us, as is the choice of finish.
