your exhuast

[fried]

i thought it would be good to let eachother know what exhuasts we all have for future refference to NOTE (as well as we can describe it online), NOISE LEVEL (being legal limit... etc), LOOK, SETUP (full zorst, catback, axel, muffler ...) and all that.

so start posting ur goodies.

i wont start it... cos i dont have an aftermarket zorst... yet.

Haven't road tested the car yet because I have yet to remove the resonators...

V8_Hero - save yourself anymore future embarrassment and stop posting anything more. we don't wanna hear and don't wanna know.

ps. shouldn't u be at chapel st right now doing a few laps instead of posting crap?

btw, I'll be installing a Kakimoto Hyper Full Mega N1 cat-back system soon. will post up pics and might add a vid/sound clip too.

[UR2L8]

Totaly agree with Cheebye. Why sign up to ozhonda if your going to talk crap dude?
And getting back to the original post, yeah I got spoon N1 exhaust without silencer and its damn loud, but I have spoon headers as well and its so loud that if your in the car for about an hour your ears start to kill. Id say its iligal, but thats only when your out of vtec, on the gas pedal and espesialy off the gas pedal. If its just in between then its quiet.

[fried]

thats cool guys!

keep em coming!!!!!!

kakimoto hyper full mega n1 cat back system.... AIY!!!
:shock:

thats on big name!! lol cant wait for it to get on... and clipped too!

[McChook]

I am the proud owner of a

Mugen Twin Loop

And it is loud.. but sounds strong - the sound gets boring on hicam tho, but down low, it has a bit of rumble....

[sesshoumaru]

i'm gonna go a super special backyard job soon...

it's going to be extremely pov... but unique.

I just got a Tanabe Hyper Medallion installed yesterday

Cant even really tell that its on when idling, its awesome. Once you tap the accelerater though, the sound comes to life and lets you know she means business :nod:

not too sure of what muffler i've got

mines 108dB

[kickthecancrew]

I got a spoon n1 axleback... tossing up between changing to a fujitsubo or completing the exhaust by getting the spoon b pipe.

LOUD at wot but nice rich tone... power gains is zero.

Sleeper look = cops dont take a 2nd look

Needs the b pipe for any gains (custom or otherwise)

[SIKCVC]

2 1/4 catback mandrel bent, No idea what brand it is... didn't pay much for $160 installed.

Power gains... Nothing major up high probs 5-8kwts at the VERY most.

HEAPS of torque gained though.

Sound... Not loud but deap and meaty None of this fart crap... well not from what i can tell... it'll probs change when i get the new engine though :P de-oh.

Oh yeah and sleeper look on mine too... squarish muff and subtle chrome tip.

Not that it desguises me well with flames and R33 GTR body kit :P

When you say straight through do you mean an ITR system with no resonators?

[MRJDM]

no my bad its a whole complete itr system untill the axel...

wait till you get the b-pipe.... bc3 is louder..but this one gives the bc3 a run for its money... definitely need the silencer for street... beautiful rumble of V-Tec through the trees!!

i don't have one yet but am shopping around for my 2000 em1 civic vtir coupe.

is a custom cat-back exhaust system as good as brand name one like greddy, apexi etc?

any recommendations? thanks!

quiet or loud? (or somewhere in between?)

[ian]

my priority is increased performance. ideally with medium sound (not over the top) subtle but noticeable.

[type one]

hmmm fujitsubo... above axle bolt on sleeper with good gains... speak to most of the boys who have em... quiet before vtec :)

RM-01A and power getter around $1000-$1200

otherwise go a spoon cat back :) that's what i've got... awesome vtec sound... awesome power gains... also an above axle... spoon is about $1800

[ian]

when you say above axle, does that mean half way to the cat?

[ian]

great thanks for the tip!

[mo]

when you say above axle, does that mean half way to the cat?

no above axle just means the piping near the rear axle will go over the top of it instead of going under

going under will mean that it will most likely scrap if your car is lowered heaps since under axle would mean that the piping is closer to the ground.

[McChook]

I have a video, 10mb, if anyone wants to hear a Muge twin loop on Prelude at 7500rpm going down the straight at wakefield.....

[tanghy]

i'd like to know why your twinloop is so loud
the packing blown out?

[McChook]

i'd like to know why your twinloop is so loud
the packing blown out?
I'd like to know why as well...
the packing?? Which is where - not an exhaust expert TBH - ?

[tanghy]

the packing is the fibreglass bits that's built into the exhaust
if it's blown out or burnt, then u basically have no more sound insulation

[McChook]

Interesting
The exhaust I bought was "apparently" only 8 months old.
Does this have any other detrimental effect on the car? Or is the packing able to be re-stuffed??
I will be comparing it to another Mugen exhausted prelude shortly, which I am sure, from memory, was much quieter..

[incoming]

yeah my mates mugen twin loop aint that loud

imo it sounds ghey!

does anyone have a picture of a ITR muffler? .. how does it look like?

Ben - i got it on Carrington Road next to Baulkham Hills Council on a thursday night

i got pulled over, random breath testing was there excuse, then told me to follow them into their defect station. Got done by 3 RTA inspectors and 4 cops...lol

[mo]

Ahh is that the road that goes up and down all the way to Victoria Ave. ?

[DC2.R]

I have a Apexi N1 turbo version catback system on my DC2-R.

This system is very loud, when it hits VTEC it sounds like an explosion. Im waiting until i get defected as it is far to loud. The sound is awesome though, but for daily driver to loud.

[pckit]

yeah my mates mugen twin loop aint that loud

imo it sounds ghey!

I have the mugen twin-loop on my DC5R and its definately not loud...

[olda]

I have MUGEN (C) headers, H/F cat, 2.5" catback, MAGNAFLOW muffler and the 3" tip. Sounds great, but a touch too loud inside the cabin. Will install the resonator soon!!! Headaches?????? :evil:

[tanghy]

bought a dud?

[McChook]

well, i compared it to another mugen today - and it is louder, but note is the same, just volume is higher. Compared the piping, and its an exact match (so it is a definite mugen). For the purposes of the comparison, we swapped the exhaust onto my car - and it was quieter...

Off to get the headers fitted next week, so it'll have the expert check...

Dude did the other car have headers and you don't but both have the same mugen catback??

Both are stock headers - but we swapped the exhaust onto my car as well - I think my one is a later version, but they appear exactly the same....

[SPEEDCORE]

Oh ok.... just checking cause some exhausts have a totally different sound when mated to aftermarket headers.

Just the cat back sometimes produces a sound that is higher in volume (again it could be the pitch "frequency" not actual dB increase) and not as nice, but when the headers are upgraded the exhaust gases flow smoother and hence you have a nicer sounding exhaust and not as loud.

Yeah, it's a weird thing - the other exhaust is 3 years older than mine, yet still quieter...

[SPEEDCORE]

hmmmmmmm my only other guess mate would be some kind of issue with the way that the glass packing was done. Put it this way... if it is.... I would rather it be louder than more muffled... ie. not being restrictive in any way.

what do you guys think of the "Magnaflow" mufflers? heard any good/bad comments about them? I've checked out their website, it seems pretty good.

[poid]

i'm looking to get a magnaflow put on next week, with a full 3" system. I had a look at it the other day and it looks like a quality muffler :)

[ginganggooly]

tacked on one of those xforce twin loops with a 2.5" inlet. sounds pretty nice. not hugely louder than stock. quieter than my old muffler with the silencer in.

admittedly, i miss the scream of the old n1 copy... don't miss the dronyness though :)

[Jus-10]

I have a Buddy Club Spec 3 on my Jazz. Full catback system with 60.5mm piping.

Legal? Not a chance in f*cking hell man!

Having such large diameter piping on a 1.5 means that I lose a bit of low-end power, but after about 4 grand, the thing friggen screams to the red-line.

It's TOO F*CKING LOUD!

I'm a huge fan of MagnaFlows and most of my cars have had MagnaFlows and I stand by their good name! they have cat back system for some Hondas too..

MAGNAFLOW ALL THE WAY!!!

[speedracr]

Here are some of the exhausts that I have fitted or had extended experience with:

VTEC EK Civic:
* A'PEXi N1 muffler w/ standard piping
Nice sound, VTEC slightly louder, inner diameter of muffler is smaller than inlet diameter

* A'PEXi N1 w/ 2.25" b-pipe, hot-dog resonator
Slightly louder at idle than above, VTEC sound is very high-pitched, like a Moto-X bike (boo..BAAAA). Got defected with this after a week of use

* Spoon N1 w/ Spoon b-pipe
louder at idle than A'PEXi, very bassy. Drones at mid rpm.
Quite light for an SS exhaust system, but resonator blew after 3 months of use. Biggest gain I've experienced on the EK but I suspect the BC3 is good as well. Other downsides included: cracked weld (common problem when exhausts use SS flanges due to heat expansion issues) that had to be repaired, Ver 1 had small flange diameter (a la Mugen)

* Spoon N1 w/ Spoon b-pipe / hot-dog resonator
Same characteristics except slightly higher pitch in VTEC

* BC3
Loud loud loud. Looks nice but B-pipe is known to crack.

DC2 Type R:
* Mugen Twin-loop cat-back
Near OEM noise level below VTEC, nice clean sound once engaged.
Neat construction, fitting the muffler was a bit of a PIA due to the coilovers fitted to the car (wheel would not droop enough once in the air), disappointingly heavy

* Spoon N1
See example for EK Civic

* Trust
Mild-steel b-pipe, quieter than Spoon but I also suspect that power gain is less.

S2000:
* Standard
One of the best thought-out OEM exhausts I've seen. Stick your head under an S2K and you will understand why aftermarket items make little gains

* Comptech
Known to cause a drop in power

* ARC full titanium cat-back (single outlet)
Nice purr at idle, bad bad drone on freeway driving, bassy tone
Neat welding, light (cat-back system weight 4.5kg) due to hollow muffler and resonator (no fibreglass), piping changes to a blue colour. One of the most expensive exhausts out there bar NSX items

* HKS twin outlet
Series 1 used mild-steel b-pipe and only SS muffler. Nuff said considering the price.

* A'PEXi N1 (universal turbo) with 2.5-inch cat-back piping
Loudest exhaust I've heard on an NA car. Unbearable at idle, mid throttle, and full throttle hehe

I now have my Magnaflow on the car. Its basically a 3" straight through muffler with 4" tip, a 3" straight through resonator, 3" high flow cat and 3" piping from dump pipe back (dump pipe is a twin design, 2.5" from back of turbo, and about a 1.5" pipe from the wastegate).

Sounds great, a nice deep growl to it but not loud. Very quiet when cruising, but still nice and big for good flow. Couldnt be happier with it :D

[A'PEXi]

h22a accord, that seems like a nice setup you have there, any other info/pics?
