[Euro] Exhaust

[leungie]

Hi people,

Just wondering if any of you have put on an aftermarket car back for the euro coz I am thinking about getting one. I want to retain the twin pipe looks so at the moment I am looking at either the HKS silent hi power or the fujitsubo (the mugen is nice but can't justify the price difference). Have you guys heard anything or know anything first hand about these exhaust? Or any other suggestions?

IMO I don't think the difference in performance would be significant enough to be considered a factor (I could be wrong of coz), more for the sound.

I am scared that the fujitsubo would sound 'stock' coz its so quiet.

Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks!!! :D

[jl88rl]

U say u want HKS but its silent... then u dont want fujitsubo cos its too silent?? i dun get it man. :p

[PNR888]

Baboo had a set of Fujitzubo Gold, Looked great!! top quality finish! but now he changed to a single titanium exhaust pipe... He can tell you all about them.

[stephen8512]

leungie, fujitsubo is ur best bet...it sounds pretty nice as well

sorry to be off topic but is ur name james by any chance? and did u use to own a blue S15?

[baboo]

If you want performance, get single straight through muffler type. But it will be loud.

5 zigen GN+
HondaTwincam N1

are good options they are cheaper than twin muffler type

[leungie]

leungie, fujitsubo is ur best bet...it sounds pretty nice as well

sorry to be off topic but is ur name james by any chance? and did u use to own a blue S15?

Yeah that's me!
U r?

[leungie]

U say u want HKS but its silent... then u dont want fujitsubo cos its too silent?? i dun get it man. :p

the name of the exhaust model is called 'silent hipower', its not actually silent ;)

[leungie]

I got a quote for spoon springs +
1 - HKS for 2400 installed
2 - Fuji for 2250 installed

I thought the price is alright, any comments?

[baboo]

how much are spoon springs?

Fujisubo legalisR should cost around $1500 max installed.

[leungie]

yeah that's about right, since the spoon springs are aound 700-800 installed.
So noone has tried the HKS exhaust? I think I might give it a try then.

[Tobster]

Why not just go to a GOOD exhaust shop? That way you can pick whatever diameter pipe you want (or they recommend) and you can pick your mufflers? If it's too loud then just chuck in another resonator... If you're going to spend the money and be particular about it, you might as well pay to get it just how you want...

Maybe I'm just weird, but everybody seems to be obsessed with buying pre-made kits where you pay for brand name as much as anything. Or maybe we just have a range of good exhaust shops in Adelaide...

[baboo]

Pre-made Japanese brand are made of high quality stuff. The length and pipe size has been researched & developed to suit the model. Fit and finish is superb.

It might cost a bit more, but it's well worth it.

It's just locally made stuff are not up to par.

[baboo]

You can get high quality custom made stuff locally, at the end of the day it might cost the same if not higher than the Japanese made one.

[hnm738]

how loud exactly is the single pipe? like wrx like? or just like any other n/a with 2.5" exhaust?

[baboo]

n/a with 2.5" exhaust

I run a single MagnaFlow Race Series outlet..... Deep Beautiful Rumble

[baboo]

Yeah, and scared the crap out of elderly Euro drivers when you blast pass them!

btw i have injen CAI and its awesome. i love it
if ur thinkin about gettin HKS, look at the GREDDY EVO2 catback first. im lookin for places where i can get it atm...

[Chris_F]

i like the greddy aswell... but i duno, its a tad on the big side for my taste.
hks is nice too but didn't know it was available in australia.

mugen is good too pricey tho.

i say go for the HKS and be different

[leungie]

mm.. both very nice but personally i think i would like the HKS more.
the Greddy a bit chunky for my liking

Hi there,
Did he get you a good price on the euro?

Please let me know when you get prices for the parts, or ask if it'll be cheaper for two!!

I just ordered teh Injen and spoon springs today.

nice one.
i got a pretty good deal. from memory i got 41000 or so for lux 05 graphite. traded in avalon for 13K so bought it basically for 28K....(this was durin start of this year)
yeah injen is awesome. i love it. im lookin at gettin my bodykit really soon and im gonna get some 19"s after than and possibly some teins type flex coilovers....
i'll let u know the price about the exhausts. im lookin at gettin the greddy evo2. i've heard it on a soundclip and sounds mad

[Sulley]

http://homepage.mac.com/tonecool/Files/FileSharing20.html
check this out, sound files of the Fujitsubo, comptech and greddy.
i reckon the Fujitsubo sounds the best....although greddy looks the best..

[LOC888]

Fujitsubo has a nice sound..not to overpowering to the ears. Havent listen to the others; but loud exhausts can become quite annoying after a while imo... But for performance def go single outlet as mentioned by Baboo...

[as001]

I bought a HKS silent hi power series cat for my subie liberty n/a 2.5i my04 which was too which had too much drone as exhaust is for the turbo model then i stuck the factory y pipe back on and went mufflers only which was much nicer much less drone cant find a buyer for them at the moment seriously considering getting them converted to fitted onto the euro

[Pum[Z]]

Well about 2 months ago i went to D&T performance centre... They are specialist exhaust makers and fitters...

Quoted me $1600 for dual exhaust from cat back using stainless steel piping mandrel bent... Saw their work on a ford it was on a hoist and had a look under the car.. & it was the cleanest work i have seen... Damn it looked so neat and damn bling that it looked like a piece of art...

So wondering if custom made or bolt ons is preferred?

[as001]

where did u get this qoute from in sydney?

[Tobster]

Pum[Z] -- I gather you're in Adelaide too (unless there's a D&T in other cities). From what I've seen/heard, I'd recommend Exhaust Technology over D&T Performance. Nothing to do with the workmanship -- more to do with sound tuning and getting the absolute most power gain from the exhaust system...

[Peekay34]

I have the Fujitsubu exhaust it has a nice note not loud and looks great soory I can't take a photo as I am in the States at the moment...just ordered the k20 valve cover which will be delivered to me next week...fits the k24 motor.

[EuroAccord13]

I've heard of D&T Performance and have heard both good and not so good stuffs about them though...

PeeKay! How's your holiday in the states??? Also your Fujitsubo isn't the full system as I recalled you saying Baboo retained the first part of the system, I will be interested in if there are any way that it can be tested to see if it degraded the performance running the OEM pipe from the cat to the dual system u got. Also perhaps without the first part of the system (resonators and all) your exhaust note might be softer or dampened? I remember hearing it and at idle it was quiet as....

I am not running the OEM pipe I am running 2 1/4 inch with Resonators that just replaced the fujitsbu resonators so I would say is pretty much the same. I am running two though and may take one off to see how noisy it is they were quite pricey to install so am not sure if I will do it other wise would have wasted $150+ dollars as they are full stainless steel. Holiday is good but getting a bit expensive with the mods I have bought.

IE AEM sprk plug cover and unorthodox racing oil cap $186 US for both and $170 US delivered for the Valve cover. Also may by the Skunk 2 gear shift knob which is $50 US.

[EuroAccord13]

Yo Peekay! I think you're spending more on your car than on your holiday! Well have a good time and we might just organise another meet up yeah!

Nop i live in Perth, W.A...

Well i'm still debating and thinking if bolt on exhaust or custom exhaust is the way to go...

[Chris_F]

Pum[Z] i think a custom exhaust woudl suit your car more than a bolt on - keep it unique !

I know you after these exhaust but ever considered the tanabe Hyper Medallions?

bolt on

[hnm738]

does anyone have a sound clip of a single exhaust for the euro?

[Tobster]

I find it really funny that so many people with single exhausts modify them to dual, and now that a lot more cars have dual exhausts standard, people are modifying them to singles!

When it comes to exhaust, personally I don't give a rats about how unique it is! I care primarily about sound (tinny fart sounds are out), and then the other considerations are power and dollars. If a bolt-on won't do it, go custom. I would probably go for a custom pipe with brand mufflers.

However, I would ask someone (like an exhaust shop) who modifies and hears different exhausts all the time and can give you a better opion about what would work best for what YOU want. Don't necessarily go with what other people THINK is good because what they like isn't necessarily going to be what you're going to like...

[tuffAC]

These are my experiences with exhaust and the outcome of different setup on my 2004 euro manual.

I found that fitting stainless steel cat back running no resonators with dual "autotechnica" muffler gave quite reasonable performance. i managed to gain almost 19kw at the wheels with a custom pod filter and VAFC2. Dyno tuned it at "REVZONE" and they were quite impressed with my backyard job (ie. my friend helped me put some pipes together with a tig weld)

the pros and cons:

pros: :thumbsup: # it only cost me $390 for pipes (and a slab of beer for my friend)
# we had alotta fun and since it was going to cost penuts for parts and labour i thought i would try a few different setups.
# fantastic above from 5000rpm in second and into third and fourth
# makes a nice deep burble note at idle and screams once it hits the vtec
# gives a tuff look and i was ready to take on VTECS best (hehehe)

cons: :thumbdwn:
# OMG so muchhhhhh noise from a supposedly "luxury" sports car
# makes no difference in day to day commuting. in terms of performance
# felt like an idiot just trying to drive normal
# attracts too much UNwanted attention
# wouldnt do it again.


We then pulled off all the pipes and fitted resonators. It was much quieter and didnt drone. However in terms of performace there was only a slight difference. Wasnt worth all the noise for only minimal difference in performance.

Current setup: One resonator and standard OEM mufflers. running 2.5inch stainless steel. Basically back to square one!!!!

I dont think i would have wasted my time and money doing all of this if i didnt get to pull up my sleeve. To do all this custom work and then find that your not happy is something most of us can relate too. For those of you that would say "thats why you go to the experts to have it done" True to an extent. Even your "midas" "mr muffler" etc etc people do custom work on trial and error (unless its a VL TURBO mateeee) . At the end of the day in MY OPINON i think the best exhaust are those they are model specific. They fit better and obviously have been researched and developed. The R&D departments of these aftermarket companies would have done hours of work to get the right results for their customers cars. Honda Accord Euro are relatively new in the car world. Its been a couple years since its release and its only now that simple things such as CAI are available. It takes years before performance parts are made mainstream. Just look at the little civics (EG EK etc etc). Its only recently that we are starting to see these little hatchbacks/coupes turn into little bull terriers!! Because most parts are shelf stocked.

I got to meet "peekay88". From memory he has a fujitsubu exhaust. i was quite impressed with that setup. The sound is deep and not too loud. It also looks very impressive too!!!

NO matter what anyone says i believe to get the most extreme performance out of any car you will result with alot of noise. Just take a look at all the race cars of the world. Has anyone heard of a quiet F1 car or race car.


Moral of this story:
greatest performance = loudest exhaust noise
great performance = loud exhaust noise
great performance + quiet exhaust = VERY $$$$

lastly i wanna say Hello to all of those people i met on the VIC EURO meet.
hopefully we can meet again soon. i guess when PeeKay comes back from his "tsx tour" hehehe. and yfin who i think is in adelaide???? well take care all and see you soon.

im still waiting on my luckystar bodykit. hopefully i will have some pics soon for a post. getting quite anxious now was meant to arrive 2 weeks ago!!!! :wave:

which model of Fuji is this? in the video. Which Fuji will best suit euro?

[Gerald28]

which model of Fuji is this? in the video. Which Fuji will best suit euro?

The above fuji is the Fuji Legalis R. And i think its the only one Fuji makes for the euro. Being a dual exhaust, dont expect to get a big difference in power.This exhaust is very quiet and IMO its not the best looking exhaust (the tips are too long!)

There are many exhaust options available for the euro, both single and dual versions, stainless and titanium versions.

If u could afford a dual exhaust, the mugen or the j's racing is worth having a look at. Both exhaust being constructed using titanium, u get a fairly lightweight exhaust and that unique titanium tone. And also,u retain the dual exhaust look, but the power gains arent going to be as promising.

Another dual exhaust worth having a look at is the buddyclub ProSpec. At around $900, i think this exhaust is worth the money. BuddyClub has a reputation for nice sounding exhausts, but they can also be quite loud!

For single output exhaust, IMO Amuse R1 Titan would be the best exhaust you can possibly get for the euro. It'll give good gains and a nice tone. Also, the J's Racing 60RS that Chris has is also something worth taking a look at. For the price of the 60rs, i think ur getting a fairly good exhaust.

I think at the end of the day, its really what ur needs are.

[BusterSonic12]

Some good info there Gerald. At conservative piping diametre a dual exhaust has never shown to have gains of anymore than a few horsepower peak gain. Although i do have to say that with my mugen dual outlet exhaust the low to mid range was improved nicely in terms of throttle response, which i guess is hard to quantify. Also the note of a dual exhaust is going to be quite subdued (unless it's straight through to the mufflers) - and this is a plus or minus depending on your point of view.

Also just a point about the mugen vs. j's racing exhaust. As far as i know a dual j's racing exhaust is only being made available for the s2000 in the immediate future, only a single outlet catback titanium fx 60rs or headerback titanium fx 70rr is available for the euro (designed for the CL7). Also the mugen exhaust is not made compltely of titanium as some believe, only the mufflers are - the rest is made from stainless steel.

Amuse does have a good reputation when it comes to exhausts, I've never personally tried one or heard first hand impressions for the CL7/Cl9 application but they are guaranteed lightweight and have great wank factor haha.

Also just a note about the j's racing titanium exhaust, the 60rs exhaust was recently replaced with the j's racing "titanium fx" series which has gone up significantly in price (a few hundred dollars) due to some minor design revisions (shorter end muffler apparently + a slightly louder note).

I think the best bang for buck at the momeny would probably be something from 5zigen / buddyclub and to a degree fujitsubo.

We're lucky when it comes to bolt ons for the euro IMO - probably have the CL7 to thank.

Like gerald said just do a bit of looking around, decide what your needs are and there will be an exhaust to fit the requirements :thumbsup:

why is a performance exhaust system for the euro doesnt make noticeable power gains? I saw an article in wheels magazine of a dude with forester GT getting 25% more KW atw just by replacing the exhaust system alone!! It gets me turned down by spending 1.2k just for exhaust sound.

[tanghy]

turbo vs na, turbo will always gain with least $$ spent

[aaronng]

With NA where the intake flowrate is fixed, the exhaust is a restricting component. Say you run with a straight through exhaust with the PERFECT amount of back pressure, you get X kW. With a stock exhaust you will lose power, and get X-Y kW. So you spends heaps of money in buying a very very good exhaust but the best you will ever get is X kW.

For turbo engines, the intake flowrate can be altered by altering boost. If you remove restrictions on the exhaust you can then increase the intake manifold pressure. So it is easier to make more power because you have a "tap" that controls the amount of air that enters your engine.

The Hondatech exhaust is probably approx 1 month away if you want to buy one I would wait the 1st prototype is coming back from the Manufacturer this month and if all good they will be up for sale very soon. This includes the headers.

[BusterSonic12]

Where are they been made?? know anything about the prices yet? i been thinking of the pro spec BC, now i prolly wait for yours :D and see...

[curik]

1 month in Hondatech terms means 6 months in our real time

[Pumped]

;) thanks.... PRO SPEC??

:D Yep

[BusterSonic12]

damn~!! how much was it... REMEMBER before and after clip please.. :D


:D Yep

[Peekay34]

They are being made in Asia by the same people that make stuff for tomei racing. They have made the exhaust the prototype is on its way back to Aus this month provided all is good they should be availble soon including the extractors. Also Doug from Hondata is coming over from the US to finalse the ECU upgrade for the AUS market early next month. Some Toda cams will probably end up in my car in a few weeks as well as a test.

[BusterSonic12]

got it installed yet? how much you got it for? you can pm me if you don't like to post the price :D


:D Yep

[Peekay34]

Talk to James first about pricing. The first production unit will be back at the end of this month for confirmation everything is ok. Once confirmed they will be made for resale.

[WIL70S]

hey guys. bringing an old thread back

i remember there was a thread where a member posted up videos of euros with aftermarket exhaust systems but i can not find it.
so i was hoping if you guys could help me out! thanks

im specifically looking for buddy club proc spec, fujitsubo legalis r and hks silent exhaust!

[johnprocter]

go to youtube and type in "acura tsx *insert exhaust name here*" without the "" and ** obviously.. :D

[enkay]

yer just go to youtube and type "tsx exhaust" u will get like most of the vids from that way.
also for the buddyclub spec type "accord euro exhaust"

[Bo0o0ost]

Ive got a HKS Hi power silent on my euro
Sounds briliant
Just right actually!
Not over done

Doesnt buzz
Excellent IMHO
I finish university today so ill try and get a youtube video going of Idle, 2000 RPM and 4000PM before safety cut off

thats my opinion, but im living with the bc atm and now use to it so its fine but might be too loud for some ppl.

[johnprocter]

iam gonna buy the skunk mega power love the sound of that

[Crapdaz]

iam gonna buy the skunk mega power love the sound of that

yeh sounds nice, but isn't it bloody loud also :confused:?

[enkay]

im sure its not bloody loud with the silencers in =P

[Crapdaz]

im sure its not bloody loud with the silencers in =P
wheres the fun in that. :thumbdwn:

[johnprocter]

you can just put the silencers in when u dont want to make too much noise i guess :P

[doosra]

I've put my deposit down for a BuddyClub ProSpec.. can't wait.. unfortunately no stock, so there will be a wait..

[Crapdaz]

have fun blasting everyone and drone inside your car. *thumbs up*

how much did it set you back and where did you get it from?

[doosra]

lol.. i find the euro too quiet... i've got the comptech cai in there, but in comparison to others, it's too quiet so i decided to invest in an exhaust to make it sound a bit more beefy...

i put a deposit down from jdmyard, however there's none in stock so like i said, there'll be a wait... i picked it up for 1.1k.

oh alright, your car is pretty much stock besides the CAI?

change headers/cat when you have exhaust on and you'll notice the thunder...

anyways nice buy, imho i haven't found anything priced well at jdmyard for me to consider buying yet.

[akina]

y do ppl like to go through traders... theres a buddyclub au in syd!

an doorsa u know there was a cheaper alternative :p

beefy? i suggestion GReddy, Evo2 :thumbsup: those are beefy!! in a positive way. Just dislike the fact that the B.Club prospec isn't stainless steel, i prefer the looks of stainless steel exhaust. Well congrats on your buy, let us know how it turned out.

thats what im thinking of doing, going to the greddy evo2, as im bored of the hks sound LOL!. and im not baller enough to buy mugen oh god thats a $2400 hole in my wallet if i go that path.

[akina]

if ya do pete, sell me ur hks :)

[JunYu]

[EUR003act]

if ya do pete, sell me ur hks :)

:p

[doosra]

hahaha..

yeah i know.. i called buddyclub au and someone initially quoted me 1k, then i called jdmyard and they quoted 1.1k.. so i went back to buddyclub au and they said "we didn't say that.. we sell it for 1.2k and if you have been dealing with jdmyard, we don't want to get involved" which was not a great response..

but nevertheless.. can't wait..

and crapaz... no headers.. just comptech CAI, buddyclub N+ and soon to be buddyclub prospec.. that's about it..

How much is the greddy evo exhaust.. ?

[BusterSonic12]

How much is the greddy evo exhaust.. ?

the GReddy evo2 is about US$900 + US$260 (shipping) in is the best quote i got at the moment from LSD Motorsport in the states on Monday. Because my friend is planning to order a set next week for his euro.

I still think it is relatively cheap, pretty good quality exhaust with full stainless steel for a price tag like that. :thumbsup:

[akina]

^ if you do buy his hks, sell me you fuji :)

thats fine with me, just up to pete haha

[JunYu]

r-r-redEuro i think you should change to the evo2 :D

[enkay]

haha go for the evo2, only thing i dont like about it is that its a bit tooooo big =P (not so much the tips but the canister at the end haha) but other than that sounds good, and if u got a kit it dont look as bad =D

[akina]

shhh enkay, it looks perfect :)

[aaronng]

thats fine with me, just up to pete haha

I still wish I could hear your Fujitsubo in real life :(

[akina]

I still wish I could hear your Fujitsubo in real life :(

[Crapdaz]

hey akina, are you still running stock cat?

if not then does your exhaust fumes stink?

[akina]

yes still stock cat, no stinky fumes.

[r-r-redEuro]

yes still stock cat, no stinky fumes.


if ya do pete, sell me ur hks :)


^ if you do buy his hks, sell me you fuji :)


hahaha i love ozhonda...

:p


LOL!! ..Ozhonda ftL ife not lose =P
MY FUMES stink sometimes, but then i think again because sometimes where i park its like chinatown or the innerwest LOL.

Still comtemplating i wont start thinking about it til 2 months later or so.

Btw JunYu his fuji is at home lying around ? you can buy it now =P

[JunYu]

lol he wants to put it back on his car when he gets his headers.

Anyone can point me in the direction to purchase a new one? I tried the traders here, no stock or no reply.

[Crapdaz]

I thought he got his headers put on already!!!!

[aaronng]

lol he wants to put it back on his car when he gets his headers.

It will almost be impossible to find one in stock. This item is ordered in as required since it is too expensive to hold stock.

[aaronng]

I don't think I got to look at your car during the HJ meet. lol.

[enkay]

haha yer it was so quiet, coudlnt tell..
but if u gettin highflow cat with the headers then it should sound real nice

[Suntzu]

I have stock exhaust but header. I dont notice anthing noise wise when i got a 300 cell cat. I did notice more torque though.

[EUR003act]

haha yer it was so quiet, coudlnt tell..
but if u gettin highflow cat with the headers then it should sound real nice

haha TODA headers + metal hiflow cat + stock exhaust = gay sounding high pitched / airy whine lol

[hooyn]

like supercharger ? :P

[EUR003act]

like supercharger ? :P

lol no like hyundai with straight thru exhaust lol

i love the flexi pipe hiss, its like a mini supercharger...

but never actually noticed how shit the exhaust sounded (inside car all you hear is induction) but when i drive past like buildings and stuff, you know how the sound rebounds back, yeah well i heard it and was like :eek: !!! lol

[enkay]

lol damn, wonder if my car sounds like that from outside tooo hahaha (goin from maxim => xforce metal cat => stock zorst)
yer i love my flex pipe hiss tooo hehe

[Crapdaz]

i'll post a sound clip of my car later of my exhaust and see if you guys think it sounds nice.

Whats the best distance to place the phone?

[EuroAccord13]

Toda Headers (Thanks Adrian!) + Metal Cat + Skunk2 MegaPower = Flow baby flow! but you will need ear plugs... Will get a video of the sound.....

[Crapdaz]

DC headers + RT hi flow cat + 5zigen Pro Racer Aspec *Single* Catback

imo has a very nice deep tone and not loud.

[enkay]

Toda Headers (Thanks Adrian!) + Metal Cat + Skunk2 MegaPower = Flow baby flow! but you will need ear plugs... Will get a video of the sound.....

o cool u got the skunk2 megapower hehe
lol is it that loud?
i assume u run it without silencers haha, hows normal driving with it?

For daily driving, it's better to have the butt plugs on, it resonates throughout the entire car and from the outside, it's crazy.. You can forget about WOT without them LOL!

With the butt plugs, it's much quieter and less annoying.. I only drive the car on weekends so it's ok for me LOL...

How much did u get the skunk2 for man? i love the sound of it but iam debating whether to get that or get a custom system done at HiTech Mufflers in sydney

heehhe butt plugs.
just had to laugh :p

how much is the custom exhaust?
are you in it for cost savings or brand whoring?

[johnprocter]

well i figure, if i have to spend like $1000 or more on the skunk2, then i'd rather get a custom because my mate knows the owner of hitech and he can get a good price so if i spent $1000 on a custom i reckon i'd be getting better gains.. but i love the sound of the skunk2!!!

[EuroAccord13]

id have to disagree with that... these pre made exhaust are tested and tested and tested for maximum power gains... i cant see $1000 allowing you to do any kind of testing (trialing different size pipes / muffler configurations / and dyno'n) aswell as make a complete finished product...

small n/a engines need to be tuned specifically, if you whack a striaght thru 4inch exhaust on a euro id be willing to put money on the fact youd loose power... plus the added fact that small engines typically sound like sh*t... which is the reason i purchased one that ive already heard (be it only a video)

but each to there own i suppose...

lol no probs :thumbsup:

exhauts wont give you much out of a little engine anyway... im only expecting maybe 1-3kw hahaha

[johnprocter]

yeah LOL now iam really considering the skunk2 if i can find one for a good price, sounds so dam good

from what i know... (so might be wrong lol)
PRO SPEC isn't stainless steel and i'm guessing pro spec is the most common BC exhaust for the euro?? whilst HKS, GReddy Evo2 are both full stainlesssteel.

[aaronng]

Pro Spec is stainless steel.

[doosra]
