Exhaust Options for 07 Euro

[Phatboy]

Heya guys

I'm new to this forum, i have an 07 euro.

And i'm wanting to know what is best and rough prices possibly for what you guys have done to your own cars.

Can you just put two cannons on for example and get a nice sound, or would you recommend a full exhaust right the way through with extractors etc.

Any opinons would be awesome

Thanks!

yeh install just the cannon is the cheapest ,ull definately get some nice growls :) without any gains :( price range between 300 - 400 buks installed

[Phatboy]

Ahh thanks!

I apologise for the thread!

You can just delete if need :)

Just get a set of headers like Toda,Comptech,Topspeed,don't worry about changing cat and cat back.Waste of money.Too much $$$ for next to no gain.

[integral90]

The stock catback on the Euro is almost as bad as the stock headers, might aswell do both at the same time.

As of right now I've just removed the main resonator from the b-pipe and am running the car open-pipe. Resonator removal seemed to give a little bit of power, just a tiny bit more push (barely noticeable) and the open pipe gives it a very nice sound but pretty loud. I've done budget exhaust stuff that has given budget performance gains, LOL

Soon I'm installing the J's Racing header with X-Force cat though, then I might look at replacing the whole catback.

Are you sure?The research i've done and people i've spoken to reckon the stock setup,(bearing in mind i have an 06 so cat is apparently freer flowing,lower cell count i think!!!)is only a bit restrictive in the higher rev range.Someone technical please feel free to confirm or correct me with evidence.:)

[power_of_dreams]

Obviously if you have the money it's better to do full system.
Though if you were on a budget and looking for performance and only had the choice between cat back and headers, I would go headers.

Nevertheless I would probably still like to change the cat to high flow.

Well I've got the 06+ and had it up on the hoist and the exhaust after the headers is like 2 1/8" then jumps to like 2.25" and the split is terrible and there are a lot of unnecessary bends. No doubt the header is way worse and you'd replace that first but the exhaust is a complimentary waste of power to the header :p

[giant_mongrel]

for performance, in this order, replace

header > cat > exhaust

but someone will eventually say that you don't get a euro for perfomance blah blah blah and you might as well get exhaust to sound nice

so if you're slow on the money, but you're gonna get everything in the end, i went order of header, exhaust, cat. replacing everything but just in order of fun-ness. woot.

[blueuro]

im also looking at getting headers really soon. how much would i be looking at ??? and will it give of a nice sounds when i put the foot down???

[giant_mongrel]

viable headers: topspeed, dc sports, comptech, toda. in order of cost. again, search here or enquire with the traders like jdmyard, toda, heeltoeauto (US). the topspeed and dcsports are your cheaper options but need the braided flex joint redone as a double, costing a little bit more. search and pm those that have done it

don't expect too much in sound, except maybe hissing, someone else's opinion on that for different headers?
if you want sound, intake and exhaust. headers is where the perfomance is at. cold air intake above 3500rpm will drown out any exhaust cept maybe buddyclub haha

and try not to ask which exhaust sounds the nicest. everyone has their own opinions... sort of safely say that fujitsubo dual and prospec A single are prob best performance wise

and a free flowing cat will increase the sound of your ex a little bit...

old people, please dont flame for these opinions. im with child, i mated with my car.

and all this stuff can be searched and found mang

Hmm Interesting! Is it illegal to remove your resonator?

I am planning to replace the headers, cat and exhaust in due time but for now im just after a nice sound. What does it sound like without the resonator . . what do you other guys think?

Thanks!

without resonator gives a rougher noise (not smooth) and increases vibrations slightly in the car...during idle.

Doesnt backfire, or decrease the soun/exhaust somehow?

Just kinda sounds like a cheap way to do it lol, but if it gives off a nice sound id be interested for the time being!

[felixd]

it does give u a burbble sound when you let off the gas pedal :) the sound will be 100% noisier

as stated it increases the noise level.

resonator = noise reduction

does not really give a nice sound but by then you wont want to put it back in.
you can add a cold air piping to help it feed cold air thoug hto make it better.

I have a K&N apollo cold air intake system installed if thats what you mean, which i must say is not so impressive i am going to upgrad to the proper full pipe.

I see well maybe it might be an ok sound, i might take it off and find out i guess.

[integral90]

Removing the main resonator doesn't change the sound, sounds 100% stock. Mine only has a slight hiss when it's warm and a very loud hiss when it's cold cause of the shit welds the guy did. I didn't notice difference it sound but there is a tiny bit more push around 4000rpm, but not enough for anyone who isn't very used to driving the car to notice.

Interestingly enough though, with both the stock resonators the car sounds 99% stock when you take one of the mufflers off and run it open pipe. But when you remove the big resonator and run open pipe it is a lot louder. Showing that the stock resonators/mufflers are more restrictive than you might think.

Here are some videos of the car with the main resonator removed and running open pipe.

Extremely helpful thank you!

[hooyn]

i just got a feel's cat back installed.

only i thing i really notice is that the revs go up a bit easier, nothing noticeable really.

the sound is omfg so nice to me.


deep deep sound. when cruising you cant really hear it and when full throttle it screams.

however inside you can hear it a bit but its not that bad. i like the sound but im not use to it.

[EuroAccord13]

If you are not chasing power in the car, do not buy a Skunk2 system....

[ig3o]

im running a catback system only..

metal cat - > 2.5" piping -> hotdog resonator -> lukey mufflers

and it sounds awesome!

imo the cat made my car alot quicker =)

How much did it set you back?

Where did you get it done out of interest?

[hooyn]

set me back 1.2k but that was 2nd hand of a member here

i think brand new now would be about 2k + from japan.

installed it myself.

[Ken-f]

Installed yourself? Or with the help of 5 other people? LOL

??

So are you saying if you want power, then buy the skunk2 system?

[EuroAccord13]

Yeap... It's all about the flow...... :)

[Lochstar_69]

here my scenario, im on the Vic Red p's basically i want my car to be sleeper.....
it looks stock, been lowered on pedders, blah blah blah stereo, blah.

It has a Cold air intak with K+N filter, sounds good when pushing into the throttle. i am now thinking of going for extractors, and leaving standard cat back.....

looking for thoughts on this. i want it to look stock and still have a bit better ppower and deeper note. really not looking into full exhaust, i was to go full exhaust i would weld the standard tips back on lol.

[euromandeluxe]

if you want sound it's all about intake and exhaust. there isn't much else you can do for sound.

if you want pwrormanxe there's heaps of options man. light flywheel + clutch works well on the street, headers would be next on my list. all depends on your budget. do a search and you'll find heaps of information.


that resonator delete sounded pretty good in the YouTube clip. anyone know how much it costs? looks like an epic budget mod for a small price.

[euromandeluxe]

also sorry for the mega noon questions about exhaust but:

- where is the main resonator found (the one integral90 deleted) and where is the b-pipe?

- what's "open pipe" mean? is it simply when the mufflers aren't attached to the piping?

thanks

Main resonator is found about 50cm behind the cat. The b-pipe is just the exhaust pipe running from the cat to the mufflers.

Open pipe or straight pipe just means no muffler attached

[npcan2]

Im like Lochstar too, on red P's in melbourne and want a sleeper. btw, i have an 03 lux.

I already have an intake, but I want to keep the car as close to stock when it comes to exhaust note. From what i've read, it seems that changing the extractors and the cat seem to give the best power gain without increasing noise (except for some hissing and a bit throatier).

Will I still get the same gains just doing those as compared with doing those + the full exhaust as well?

Cheers

awesome, thanks!
