Jazz exhaust

[patto14]

hay got a 2008 vti jazz its 1.5 I-Vtec up grading the exhaust
just wondering opinions on size etc?

[superlover]

Are you looking for any brand? if not, just go to local exhaust shop, they will find one for you.

[patto14]

nh just custom but want a good idear on what piping size?

[GU357]

do you want full system? or a tip?

for full system check out the link below...
http://www.canningtonperformance.com.au/exhausts.asp

edit. im not trying to make u buy from them but they have a little chart to help u understand whats best. i could tell u but its better if u read it

[fillit]

i currently run an xforce system, it's alright, gives a nice tune and adds abit of omph to the car

Fcuk xforce, called them up and the b pipe and axle back for GD3 are now discontinued! That made me so mad ESP since custom piping cost more lol...

[superlover]

I am not sure how much for xforce, but if possible, try HKS exhaust. It isn't that loud and have a real good low voice.

[superlover]

By the way the HKS one doesnt need any modification, just un-screw, put the exhuast and screw it, DONE :) Perfectly Fit

Doesnt apply this guy has an 08 xD

but yeh that pretty shit, gonna have to go to Wangara Exhaust (perth) and get custom D:

They "used to" make one for a GD they "never" made one for a GE.

[taxi]

The most popular branded one I've heard of is the Kakimoto followed by the HKS. Both are direct bolt on. GD's seem to have more choices of exhaust than GE's. sighhh

[TBagr]

I'm thinking of getting hks racing suction reloaded intake and hi power hks exhaust. Anyone have these or any opinions?? Best place to order/buy them??

[kongfu]

Stick with Mugen power exhaust you cant go wrong.

[ouch]

anyone know if unbolting the axle back is illegal? i mean, the mufflers there to muffle the sound. and we all know that less sound = less girls. so i took it off and BAMBBQSAUCE, a much louder sound. i mean nothing over the top. its just right in my opinion. the girls love it too!...

but yeah, is that illegal?

[GU357]

uhmm no....

i think its legally required to have a muffler there just put a few holes in it.

[melvin]

going to haks performance tomorrow to get a quote on catback exhaust for the gd3.
will let you guys know.

[EG52NV]

$800 min

[ouch]

but what about taking off the axle back and get a straight pipe all the way through?

[GU357]

yeh sure if u ever get pulled over just say that its technically the same as a performance exhaust, as it just lets it straight out, ie fully opened exhaust.

aslong as the DB isnt overboard, and it doesn't release more CO2 or w.e

edit: there is a chance that a straight pipe will be louder then no pipe tho because the muffler is there to absorb vibration so if there is no axle back it wont vibrate but if there is a straight pipe it might rattle like crazy

[fillit]

straight pipe would be incredibly loud, and it is also illegal, you will get fined alot of money.

[sPoOnD_]

i have standard piping but i did a straight pipe from axle back :) it sounds really good and pretty loud. i did 3inch axle back, so basically no muffler

[GU357]

i have standard piping but i did a straight pipe from axle back :) it sounds really good and pretty loud. i did 3inch axle back, so basically no muffler

or!! your could get a straight pipe and weld a piece of larger pipe around it, so it looks like a muffler LOL

[Fredoops]

Fcuk xforce, called them up and the b pipe and axle back for GD3 are now discontinued! That made me so mad ESP since custom piping cost more lol...
Have you tried searching for OBX on eBay? I'm pretty sure that and xForce come out of the same factory in China

[sPoOnD_]

or!! your could get a straight pipe and weld a piece of larger pipe around it, so it looks like a muffler LOL

hahaha possible, im thinking about doing a catback system now, mayb 2.25in or 2.5inch no muffler haha

[ouch]

i have standard piping but i did a straight pipe from axle back :) it sounds really good and pretty loud. i did 3inch axle back, so basically no muffler

that is illegal yeah? but brooo! its intense aint it?

[GU357]

cool so far as i can see the exhaust must leave the car so if u take off the axle back that illegal cos the exhaust is coming out from under the car but not away from it and it can heat stuff up and increase chance of fires, the exhaust must not extend anymore the 50mm away from the back of the car, if the exhaust doesn't poke out the back and comes out under the mudguard or something it requires a engineering certificate to say its safe (unless it was like that stock obviously).
so yes a axle back is required!
doesnt say anything abt muffling, so as long as its below the 96DB or w.e it is, and NO HOLES in the exhaust.

[sPoOnD_]

that is illegal yeah? but brooo! its intense aint it?
Yeah it sounds wicked, u guys have to post pics of your jazz's in the jazz/fit thread, I just posted mine

[GU357]

ive got a xForce axle back now, just need to install.
got it of fillit looks very nice :)

and ill post my jazz pics when im finished with the lip spoiler bonnet etc :D

[sPoOnD_]

Where can I find a duckwing for the GD jazz?

[ouch]

So I was revving the car today without the axle back and it doesn't smell to good. Is this normal?What's going on? Does the muffler also act as a cleanser or something?

[GU357]

might be bruning / melting plastic underbody.

also ther might be pushing out more soot because the exhaust aint there..
and godamit its illegal...

[GU357]

Where can I find a duckwing for the GD jazz?

spoon make a duckbill spoiler buy it off JDM Concept (jdmconcept.com.au)
or u can try find one second hand on here, ive seen a few on Aus Jazz (http://ausjazz.com.au/)

[ouch]

might be bruning / melting plastic underbody.

also ther might be pushing out more soot because the exhaust aint there..
and godamit its illegal...

haha sorry man, but it had to be done. is there a way i could like... make it legal? i mean a straight pipe with a flange or something still wont work? or like mentioned before just stick some metal over the pipe to look like a muffler. anything?
the jazz is finally sounding half decent

[fillit]

haha take my headers and catback off my hands, it will give it a gruntier sound :)

do a straight pipe, but not too loud. of get the original and try cutting the tip of and making the hole like 3 inch and welding a piece of pipe there to replace the tip... that would still be legal.
even better get like a auto technica one for Super cheap and make a piece of pipe that expands to fit that and attach that instead :D

[sPoOnD_]

Just get a lukey sports muffler on it, or even any muffler. Supercat make decent mufflers, all different types too.

[GU357]

thats true, but some of the ones u buy just laying around will need to be attached properly so professional exhaust shop might be required and they can charge u alot
i went to one here in perth, he wanted to charge my $500 to attach an xforce muffler seemed kinda preposterous so i managed to find an axle back.

and theres some cool axle backs by megan racing on ebay (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/MEGAN-RACING-Axle-Back-Exhaust-Honda-FIT-JAZZ-06-07-08-/140484925784?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20b58dd958) too, but the are abt 400+ due to shipping form the US

its oFF! just 8.5kgs of dead weight.

[sdx91]

^ how does it sound?

[GU357]

^ like someone took the muffler off

Man... no more back pressure!

[ouch]

^ how does it sound?

sdx91! zomgwtftomatosauce. it is an absolute beauty; almost sounds turbo if you ask me. take 10 minutes of your time. get a 13mm socket wrench(if i remember correctly) and undo the two bolts. take it around the block. i can assure you, you will be amazed at the difference. its a pretty LOL mod, and you will get some 'WTFTHATSAJAZZBRO' looks going down burwood road/ george street but even if you dont like it, its not that hard to get off and on. do it for me!

plus its just dead weight. you dont need the back seats or passenger side seat either... and the trimmings and linings. centre console and the spare tyre for that matter. but broo, strip the carpet and take off sound deadening (i reckon 70kg, mind you) and well, you need the dash to attract the girls, but im sure they would like the new mattress and roll cage you got installed instead. plus with all this dead weight gone, you can chuck in some subs to blow her clothes off. you seen italian job? DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF DOOOOOOOOOOOOF.

but yeah you know, just my 2 cents ;)

[sdx91]

LOL alright ill try it soon. but does it burn the metal around it? and do u have it off all the time?

[ouch]

YO sdx91! there doesnt seem like any metal is burning. i have it off all the time now, just makes the jazz that much more fun. but im planning to get a straight pipe all the way through just so the exhaust is following through.

[GU357]

theres heatshield there, depends i just changed my muffler to a very modest rumbling muffler but i forgot the dynamics of the under car. I think the b pipe ends just before the heatshield so some wil be protected but if anything it might melt some plastic under the car. just dont leave it in one spot running for long. ahaha.

http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z332/GU357/My%20Jazz/20110524_009.jpg

[sdx91]

hmm alright thanks. is that an axleback exhaust gu357? what brand and how much?

[GU357]

yeh its an xforce axle back. the pipe is extra thick going into the muffler but it still fits a stock flange and bpipe, all of the xforce stuff is designed to fit the stock flange and be inter-changable. i bought it off fillit, i dunno if they still make them, i doubt it. but essentially its just a smaller muffler: half the width and two thirds the length. ill make a recording soon.

[EG52NV]

FYI Mugen racing axle back is heavier then stock muffler, I was certainly surprised when I installed mine..

[sdx91]

lol wow thats unexpected. gu does ur xforce muffler have a silencer?

[GU357]

nope, its a semi open pipe.
so it still does some muffling but echos the sound out to a modest rumble, if i can find the video recorder on my phone ill upload it to youtube , but i dont think my phone has one.
have u guys looked into varex mufflers?
u can control there flow with a remote :)
link here (http://www.xforce.com.au/about-varex-remote-control-sports-muffler.php)

[GU357]

http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z332/GU357/diagrams/catback.png
that's mine except i only have the muffler and not the B pipe.

as it is they dont seem to make ones for the GD3, or at least they aren't on their computer data base.
but if u check the website or call em up and tell em where your from they can tell u where your nearest distributor is, and the distributor can make one up for you.
but i would imagine its around 500$ i went to a place before (not a distributer thoguh) and they wanted 500$ to put a muffler on and all they were going to do was cut of the orginial muffler and attach the cannon with some pipe that expanded on one side.

[sdx91]

so i just bought this r-sr axleback gt2? exhaust for my gd3 yesterday and it should be coming in about 2-3 weeks.
what do you guys think?

also i tried taking off the stock exhaust but the bolts seem to be on real tight.. what socket wrench do i need to use?

[ouch]

14MM! i think... but yeah they are tight cos they're spring loaded. youll be fine.

[sdx91]

alright will try. thanks for the quick response :)

[fillit]

14mm with alot of WD40

[0101]

How much did you pay for the exhaust ??

[sdx91]

authentic been used for 5000km. bought it off a guy on ebay for 250. 150+100 shipping.

[GU357]

Looks like a nice cannon tbh, but could of got a new one from the US for about that much.

i used a rattle gun to take my exhaust off it was pretty rust and it is HELL TIGHT i had on 03 model though so its been seized a bit longer

[ouch]

yeah... just take off the axleback and get a straight pipe with a nice flange to connect to the rest of the exhaust.
OOOOOOOOOOHHH YEAHHHHH!
itll gost you like 70 dolllarssss

[kongfu]

also i tried taking off the stock exhaust but the bolts seem to be on real tight.. what socket wrench do i need to use?

consider the big piping diameter..you will lose lots of back pressure...wont recommend for 1.5 jazz....but feel free to find out by yourself.

I have tried many exhaust set up...so far mugen titanium is the best in terms of sound & performance and weight saving.

[GU357]

ehhh, the jazz has an ecu and can control it's fuel injection so back pressure isn't required, if anything it's better because it lets the car expel the exhaust gas faster and helps the engine rev freely
the whole thing about back pressure and torque would be more relevant to a car with carbies. Although too large of a exhaust can cause cackling and misfire... but u shouldn't have a problem.

[sdx91]

partially installed my exhaust. i couldnt screw the bolts back on with the springs cos they are hard to push in.. so i just took those springs out for now and tightly screwed the bolts on however there is still a small gap :( is there an easier way for the bolt springs?

[GU357]

WOW! I'm kinda Jelly D:
very sexy! hows the sound?
im affraid it will sound too loud and cackly to go for such a large sized one with such little muffling.

In regards to the bolts u just have to really squeeze em I'm afraid, or if u have a blow torch heat em up a bit and squish em a tad, will weaken them.
I used a rattle gun and just pushed it, however my car was jacked up and the rear wheels off the ground so it was a bit roomier.

[0101]

How's the sound of the exhaust ???You should record a video and share with us !!!

[sdx91]

haha thanks gu357. here is a video clip guys.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjKXo8zcCig

[Doe.Man]

damn that sound good

[GU357]

NP mate.
its very sexy sounding ill throw a vid of mine soon as a comparison.
as soon as i get it off them axle stands ahaha.

[sdx91]

haha thanks guys. also i still havnt put the spring on bolts yet.. im worried something will happen? and also maybe the sound is getting messed up cos it not spring loaded?

[GU357]

possibly, but it would most likely be a vibrating sound because the springs arent there.
it might be leaking and that could also cause a noise if the bolts arent tight enough to bring the axle back and B pipe together, but that would sound quite loud and highish pitched i think.

[sPoOnD_]

ill put a video of mine up soon.

bashed out cat, 2.5in catback with 2 resonators and the axle back i did twin 3inch pipes on a angle :)

[GU357]

Lol thats kool till u get a yellow sticker and the cops tell you that ur engine will will need a 5k re-tune to make it run leaner.
this happened to my mates RX8 and then hes engine blew leaving the mechanics because it was running lean it overheated ahaha.

[sPoOnD_]

ive been pulled over already haha nothing happen. i guess its only a jazz

[GU357]

Really?
what did they say?.... what did u say?

[sPoOnD_]

The cars under my mums name. So they were like, mum has a pretty nice looking car. Has a sports exhaust hey? And I'm like yeah it's not too bad. And they were like, so why u driving mum cars. And I said I can't afford one hahaha and then just a breath test

[GU357]

LOLOL, im changing my car to my mums name now xD

[sdx91]

lol lucky my jazz in parents name :D

[GU357]

yeh im gonna buy another and put it under my parents name too LOLOL.
thinking about getting the manual, the thunder of the 7speed F1 thing is kinda worn off LOL

[0101]

Here is my video clip of my HKS Silent Hi Power exhaust installed yesterday !!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tW69oPbXZQ

[ouch]

Hey that sounds tops - how much that cost you?... If you don't mind me asking.

[sdx91]

nice sound :D

[0101]

Hey that sounds tops - how much that cost you?... If you don't mind me asking.

Cost around $600 shipped + installation !!!

[0101]

nice sound :D

Thanks.......so what is your next plan to modify your car ??? Did you buy the visor for your car yet ??

[sdx91]

hmm low on cash atm so im thinking of getting a cheap sri and prob fake mugen visors too.. and just for fun might try and do the rear wiper delete. but first i still gota get my friend to put the springs in cos hes always busy.. zzz.. if not then i might try do it myself and see how it goes but im kinda scared im gona stuff it up :/

[GU357]

u want an SRI?
im thinking about letting my apexi go :(
and getting a new weapon R

ive found a way to get the weapon R SRI to take cold air in from the passenger side in front of the mudguard, Just like the CAI's but the pipe will be shorter and much less restrictive.
But the apexi is quite nice. i have a thread of it on here with a pic somewhere xD

In regards to the springs its not too hard everything should fit back together, but u might need to have a spring compressor tool to take them out of their holdings. On the back if u jack it up, u should be able to wiggle it out because the load will be off, but in the front im pretty sure u need a the spring compressor so u can get it off the McPherson's

[ouch]

BROOOO! the sri is just a waste of money in my opinion. i mean tbh it gets you a but of sound up high but it then just makes you wanna redline every time you accelerate and waste all your petrol. and the rear wiper delete. what about changing the stationary point of the wiper. so instead of sitting horizontal, it sits vertical. i think it looks much better. heres a link: http://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-diy-repair-maintenance/56562-jdm-wiper-mod.html ESHAYYYS.

and yeah... while we're all here. recommendations for springs? cbb typing this in the other thread.

[GU357]

HIJACKER!!! LOL

Well the wiper mod thing would get kinda annoying i would be like wtf is up with my window!
and i think it only looks nice because that Jazz looks clean.

And the SRI thing isnt a waste the guy has an auto jazz yeh? its like pointless to red line it, when i had the apexi on my auto i just put it into 7speed and brought it to about 5k when i wanted to.
If you have discipline it would be no problem, but it sounds awesum, like a jet/vacuum ~ SWssswswswsw!!! and mine makes that noise all the time ( i dunno if its a good thing lol)
its intense! xD

and i saw 0101 selling springs before he said its like 300$ posted.

[0101]

Hi GU357,

The springs are sold already !!!

[ss-rotel]

i just replaced the stock rear muffler in both my jazz's as the first "performance" upgrade. gives you a few extra KW @ top 1000rpm. rightprice will throw one on for under $200. you'll spend $1000-1500 for full cat back depending on mufflers and if you want a flex joint, and gain another few kw.

I'd spend the money and run a SRI and pod filter and just do the muffler. 1/2 the $$$ outlay, and same performance over a complete exhaust system. (what i did with my first jazz. until recently, my 2005 jazz ran a K&N panel filter from a Charade. took the stock paper filter into autobarn, and found the closest fit. the charade is a touch too big, so pretty much perfect. couldn't tell you the part number, i'm not longer using it, sorry)

[ss-rotel]

rah... ok, didn't notice this was 8 pages long. only read the first page :) dont mind me :)

[GU357]

Hi GU357,

The springs are sold already !!!

wow no need to yell xD

i did simular to ss_rotel; muffler and SRI and the engine is perkier :D

[sdx91]

just on a side note can anyone in sydney help me install front springs? ill pay 50. ima try put the rear ones in tmr cos that should be alright.

[GU357]

watch a youtube DIY, you will most likely need to get a spring compressor (its a very simple tool)
if i was in sydney, i wouldnt have to pay so much for shipping on every thing, but i would help out LOL

[sdx91]

haha oh well. i heard u dont even need a spring compressor thats wat they all said on fitfreak?

[GU357]

really? oh then it shouldnt be too bad then
uhm theres a DIY here some where on changing em i think.

[ouch]

YO SDX9123124523454235235653462. you need spring compressor for the front (for safety; technically you dont really need them). but yeah i mean if you can get the top hat off im sure youre smart enough to point the sussy away from you when you do so. the springs could be tensioned very high and literally 'spring' so be careful!

k.

[GU357]

Yeh man.
if one of those springs has even 1cm of tension that could shoot into your chest at like 40kg of force plus springs are pretty hard so it wont be like a 40kg pillow LOL.

[lee3671987]

i got my exhaust done by metam muffler for $300 cat back 2"

[GU357]

my friend told me about a cheap guy here in perth, he reckons $500 for a header back.

[melvin]

For all the Sydney heads, I recommend Haks at Performance Exhaust Centre. Cant beat price and he knows his shit.

[GU357]

yeh all good to know if anyone else has a cheap exhaust guy its always handy.

still loving my Xforce the way the noise responds if i boot it is just amazing, flying through heavy traffic today felt so bad ass

[GU357]

i only revved it to like 2.5k tho, i wanna do a drive by one. but need someone to hold the camera. ontop of that the mic is crap.

[fillit]

lol rev it to 6.5 please and post it again.

[GU357]

Yeh ill do that later LOL! even tho red lines at 6.3 aint it.

[ouch]

LET IT LOOSE! i still think just taking off the cat is the way. i mean, the chicks love it

[GU357]

i dunno, ive never met a chick that really likes cars...

[EKVTIR-T]

Put the camera on your mailbox for the drive by vid :)

[GU357]

yeh would do.
but the letter box is connected to the fence coloumn, so the top of it is very high.
but ill get my old man too hold on too it whilst i go past at around 5k rpm in 1st
thanks for the rep too :D

[GU357]

Hey guys, im bringing this baby back to life.

i recently got a cat back made up for my jazz, i think it was made in either 2inch or 50mm piping, in the process of making it the man put on a new muffler.

the muffler was WAY TOO LOUD! it was literally deafening to drive so 2 days later i went to another exhaust bloke and asked him to weld my old xforce cannon onto the newly made catback.

the result is a nice note and a solid rumble, since its the same muffler now theres no point showing pics cos it looks the exact same unless ur under the car.

But whats new is that i burnt the tip to give a blue effect.
http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z332/GU357/20111030_001.jpg

[ouch]

...i think we need a video

[blahZ]

titanium exhaust nice

[sdx91]

haha nice u burn it urself?? how?

[GU357]

its not titanium though, its a regular stainless one.
but i burnt the tip with a butane torch. (handheld cheap one)

[GU357]

ill do a drive by when i can LOL

[ouch]

and just an idle and rev! im keen to do up the jazz after the meet. hopefully the civic can go tomorrow.

[GU357]

ur selling the civic? what rims are on that thing? looked pretty nice.

[ouch]

D1rs or something... nonetheless, its the jazzs time to shine
