[EM1] Exhaust quote

[DNYALL]

Just got quoted this at Lilydale exhaust fix, melbourne. For 1999 civic em1 coupe.

Xforce S/Steel headers - $590
AC Delco Hi Flow Cat - $280
2 1/4 System with Magnaflow muffler, resonator - $520
flanges and some flexible peice to take the engine movement.
including fitting. All up it will cost me $1350

What do yall think bout that. He said pretty much full days work.

There was an integra type R getting the same system done when i was there and it had a very nice note.

[z3lda]

with the headers u can buy from the traders on OH and save about 100bux
Muffler/Cat. u can also purchase from the trader and save about 100bux.
just buy the parts urself and just get them to make pipin and fitment. save $$$

[panda[cRx]]

sounds a bit rich mate...

as a reference one of our traders is selling xforce headers for $450

seems a bit steep... and full days work... yeah, for an amature.

[raff]

sounds pretty dear!!


but the headers and hi-flow cat from egsi

$450+$189

maybe u will get abit of discount if u buy both

either way you will come out better off if u buy the parts urself...

[faijai]

i reckon u can get thsi setup PLUS FITTING for less then 1k.

[Fro-Daddy]

$520 for muffler n resonator, my car atm (2") cost me $245 for that...im guessing for a 2.25 itd be closer to $300...but that is press bent and mild steel...

[**Ghost**]

custom 2.25 with muffler that is not a uber JDM brand like HKS should really cost less than $300 fitted...thats mandrel bent mild steel tho

[DNYALL]

I thought it was a bit steep also. Apparently the muffler is worth about $350 and from what i hav heard the magna flow mufflers are pretty damn decent.

Any place in Melbourne u could or anyone could reccomend. Not 'performance exhaust ringwood' they do a really poor job, well they did a hopeless welding job on my mates car anyway.

Don't get the x-force headers...they won't do anything but look half decent in the engine bay!

[SIKCVC]

ring exhaust fix in croydon... owned by different people.

Speaking from experience? The only thing different between them and the toda (which is what they're copies of) is the build quality.. which is quite a big difference but you will achive much the same gains.

are you?

[SIKCVC]

not my own, but info from an old pro.

[raff]

has any1 got experience with these headers that can elaborate on this?

[egSi]

lol @ exhaust war :D

anyways if anyone wants xforce headers and cats pm me, and YES i do do deals if u get both.

i got stuff ready to go.

[ian]

that price would roughly equal a brand name bolt on cat back exhaust (eg GREDDY) supplied only though..........so it would seem favourable.........but like what the others said, you may be able to get cheaper............research is your friend.

[02ZZI]

i got 2 mufflers and and 2, 1/4 inch from the cat back for $ 520 does sound a lil dear for it is

[joneblaze]

That price is ludicrous. Do more research. :)

Buy from Trav/EGSi, then find a good, quality workshop with friendly patient blokes who will do the pipiing + fitment for you.

[armak81]

haha

[BlitZ]

In sydney?
where can i get mandadrel bent exhuast system with extractors,cat,flexi joint and muffler for under 1k with decent welds?


seems pretty cheap....
and i want atleast xforce quality extractors... not hurricane extractor stuff..

[PaZzMaN-R]

go to best mufflers i was quoted a very resonable price i think it around $1000 for very good stuff and a friend of mine has the same system on his honda and its awesome and the guys there are tops.

[BlitZ]

u sure u getting manderel bend..
i checked there site ... some of there headers aren't even manedrel bent
If they are the correct bends and they weld nicely,.. then it definityly a good place to go to


They sell hitech headers for hondas as advertised- (their defaulted advertisment for hondas):

[CONAN]

that price is not to bad considering it is a good job. all the bends are done right, everything welded properly
I got quoted 1250 for just a full exhaust with headers. I think all custom work.
