Cat-back exhaust for Jazz.

[vtec-NA.th]

I'm after a cat back for my jazz and just wondering which ones I should get.

So far I know of Buddyclub Pro Spec or 5Zigen A Spec

Any recommendations and feedback?

[NvM]

theres also spoon, j's racing, mugen, x force & a few others out there. Had the spoon exhaust & it was sweet. So personally i would go for spoon.

[yourfather]

stock, cuz ur monokuroboo wagon doesnt need a racing exhaust.

it just needs to be lowered and filled with ICE.

[iced]

xforce is cheap as does the job for a catback.
but instead of xforce header spend the money on some jap header instead

stock, cuz ur monokuroboo wagon doesnt need a racing exhaust.

Haha. But I want that nice soundd..

[vtec-NA.th]

i think i will go with the buddyclub for now.

getting it fitted tonight! will let you guys know! ;)

[TypeR_DC5]

Im using 5zigen header and 5zigen pro-racer catback, it was superb~ let me know the noise level of your muffler compare to stock.. cheers

[AmateurJazz]

buddyclub will ensure that everyone in your neighbourhood knows you're home whenever you pull up on your driveway.

[UBH320]

Hoon!~

[vtec-NA.th]

buddyclub makes too much noise. i think i will get the 5zigen now haha xD

[UBH320]

Get Spoon N1 muffler and you can be a Hoon master =P

[jayesse]

HAHA..I had a BC3 exhaust at first...lasted 5 days before I pulled it off (this was 3 years ago) - it's just TOO loud

I got a custom job made up...sweet and quiet sound with awesome flow.

[gwhisky]

Get Spoon N1 muffler and you can be a Hoon master =P

how about the HKS one ?

[vtec-NA.th]

anyone know who stocks the xforce cat backs?

they seem cheap xD

Im using a HKS Catback Exhaust atm.. had it install last week! its mad =p

[SassyV]

Im using a HKS Catback Exhaust atm.. had it install last week! its mad =p

oOO cool... how much?

[gwhisky]

Im using a HKS Catback Exhaust atm.. had it install last week! its mad =p

what do u mean by mad?
loud ? or ?

[UBH320]

how about the HKS one ?

I think Spoon N1 is louder than the HKS if just just running stock bpipe... you can ask jeki or crazyray... They've been thru it...

[vtec-NA.th]

I also wanna know! How loud is the HKS one and how much?

[justinfox]

Yes the Buddy club exhaust is loud as it's designed for power gains (although it does come with a silencer for street use. I'd definitely take the silencer off when I hit the track!!! :cool:).

I'll be putting a few myths to rest ASAP, hopefully next week, when I dyno my Jazz before and after installation of the Buddy club pro spec. I'll be sure to report back with results.

[UBH320]

Yes please Justin... let us know how you go hehehe... mine was 67.9kw...let us know the result...:D

[EG5]

Yes please Justin... let us know how you go hehehe... mine was 67.9kw...let us know the result...:D

1 thing to add different dyno shows different reading.

[vividjazz]

Even the same dyno on different days gives different results for the same car as it is effected by outside temperature and air density as well as many other factors.

[MUGENJ]

well the HKS isnt as loud as the buddyclub unless you step on it around 3000rpm.. but how can u test to see how loud it is? btw i got it for $400 and install it myself.. =)

[justinfox]

We will be testing it literally on the day. IE: Dyno test stock, take car off dyno, install exhaust then back up on the dyno so the power gain will be as accurate as possible.

[justinfox]

MUGENJ (http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/member.php?u=3946): $400? I assume that is just a muffler and not a complete cat-back system?

[jayesse]

The silencer kills absolutely all the power on the street...it's worse than stickin the A/C on....

That said the perceived power gains are pretty good in vtec (i never dyno tested it) but the way the car revved out was amazing....you'd hit the rev-limiter without even trying.

It became really laggy off the mark though which became tiresome....

I literally couldn't have a conversation with the person in the passenger seat...it was just that loud!

Sounded bloody fantastic though!

[crazyray]

i am also guessing that is was just the muffler only..

[bilz~]

yeah i've got 5zigen exhaust on my jazz now... its sounds great.. its awesome...

i got it from this shop in the city... they stock up jazz parts.. let me know if u want to know where it is

[MUGENJ]

yeh.. its just the muffler!

[anjingbalap]

go Hotbits made in aust.. and its quite gud...

[iced]

you guys say bc spec3 too loud this and that.
try spec2.
that system is an ear bleeder!

[Penguin]

hehehehe....what's that you say???? i've got spoon and without the silencer i can't even hearmyself think!!!!! oh...btw...it gives good power gains.....you can feel the flow. if you've got a short ram intake....you can hear the increased suction

[BusterSonic12]

Guys, at the moment i'm in the market for a catback exhaust. After looking around and thought that the mugen looks quite nice in the finish.

Too sad that i cannot read japanese on the mugen website, i was wondering if this particular exhaust is catback or axle back? Because i much prefer a catback exhaust, also if i've a VTi-S 1.5L do i get the 18000-XK7C-K1S0.

Anyone used this exhaust that can comment abit about them would be very awesome :wave:

mugen only have muffer for GD3. go for it if $ is not your concern.

[BusterSonic12]

ohh in that case, i might consider something because i much prefer a catback. i dislike spoon or buddyclub tho =(

[M@lew]

There is Kakimoto too. ;) I have one for the GD Jazz (axle back only though) if you're interested.

i remember poeter here in the forum has a mugen cat back, you can try pm him ...

[Doe.Man]

Hey guys sorry for reviving this but, does anyone know if the xforce s12 twinloop would fit on the Jazz GD3?

[lionhart87]

i got a s10 and i can sell it to you if you want

[Doe.Man]

i got a s10 and i can sell it to you if you want

what is the fitment like on ur jazz? u got any pics of it on? (preferably under the car and also the rear ;))

[lionhart87]

it bolts on to the stock flange without any issues.
best pic i could find

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w4/lionhart87/n590210182_5767150_2406.jpg

[Doe.Man]

Is the twinloop designed for the jazz or was it designed for another car?

[lionhart87]

Its universal application, just got to make it bolt on or weld it on.

[Doe.Man]

ah i see okays, just read ur tread on JDMST lol car look awesome :)

[lionhart87]

thanks man. let me know if you want the s10, its just sitting around now that i got js racing 304r

[ss-rotel]

.... i got a Right Price exhuasts $150 fitted special. Just the muffler, gave me an extra few KW, (enuf to offset me lard arse maybe...), and the stock muffler is restrictive, so revs better in the top end of the rev range.

Actually sounds good, not too loud, not raspy or restrictive, considering the small $$$ spent. not REALLY sure how much performance you'll actually gain from the cat back, the stock system is mandrel bent, and not too bad all things considered. if you make the pipes too much bigger, you'll lose some bottom end power to for the extra bit of top end...

not sure what my engine builder will use to the exhaust when i give it to him to turbo, but he tends to use CES gear, and the guy there, (can't for the life of me remember his name... it's been a while), does an awesome job.

[hondajazz2005]

doe.man, interested in a swap? i have the s12 twinloop... LOL

[Doe.Man]

doe.man, interested in a swap? i have the s12 twinloop... LOL

hey thanks for the offer, but not atm i just want to see what options there are out there, if i change my mind i'll send you a pm :D

[ouch]

anyone got a straight pipe or some custom exhaust made up?

[GU357]

i knew someont that did, he had stock headers, no cat, no resonator, no muffler. it was LOUD!!!! no shit at low RPM's it was noticably loud easy to hear from a hundred meters off.
never heard it at high rpm, lots of performance though, he said he was able to keep up with some soarers because the engine revved much free-er.
he also had side exiting exhaust just behind the drivers side rear wheel, looked boss. he got defected for the noise level though.

[LD_Mart]

Dont know why anyone would bother trying to get performance out of a Jazz, its got to be the slowest car i have ever driven. it can barely make it up hills.
I got a 5zigen Cat Back on my jazz which came on the car when i got it but i left it on cause its funny not for any type of performance.

[GU357]

i dont know why anyone would bother replying with no constructive criticism.
sounds like you bought a broken jazz rather.
but if u drive a wrx well then theres no way a family car like a jazz could keep up.
Maybe the reason we try to get a bit out of the jazz is because its slow, i dunno cant u just leave them/us alone.

[lam.666]

the jazz is a nice zippy car, it's not like you can hit top speed on any cars on the road anyways, for getting from a to b, its pretty fun and convenient. i had the choice between an is200 and the jazz, and the jazz won, the is200 felt abit lethargic.

[LD_Mart]

It's is constructive criticism.
If you want performance don't bother
If you want some noise, get one

[GU357]

depends what u consider performance.

[fundies]

It's is constructive criticism.

I find the 1.5 manual in my GE performs well given the cars intended purpose, along with the handling and brakes. Outright performance only counts at one place anyway, the race track.

My last motorcycle was a Kawasaki Z1000, with performance that would make your WRX look slow, but riding it on the road was 99% pure frustration. Better to drive a slow vehicle quick, than a quick vehicle slow I reckon.

[lam.666]

cagers just dont understand, a wrx is annoyingly noisy, like a ninja 250 with an exhaust. if you don't like the sound of the exhaust take it off and quit your whinging, or dont even drive it, just drive your almighty performing wrx

[LD_Mart]

Never said my wrx was almighty and it doesnt even have an exhaust.
Just saying the purpose of cat back on a jazz isnt really worth the money, the power gains would be to minimal for the money spent.
If you wanted exhaust noise stick a muffler on there.
My jazz performs well for its purpose aswell and that is to save money on fuel, park easy ect

[GU357]

a cat back sounds better then a muffler, because the 1st resonator is very restrictive. so u knock it off for a less restrictive one.

[lam.666]

yeah your right, its probably better just to buy a faster car, but each to their own, its like all those done up hyundai's and daewoo's

[ouch]

anyone got an exhaust for sale?

[GU357]

just get one made for 300$
might be even cheaper if u tell them u dont want any resonators. (also be loud as fk)

[nickcanollie]

Im getting J's headers in the mail soon and probably getting custom aluminium pipe for down pipe and b pipe. I cant justify spending the $800 for each of those but i think extractors and muffler are a different story when spending that cash.

[nickcanollie]

But its only temporary cause im considering a K20a conversion mid next year :)

[GU357]

NICE, so many ppl say they are gonna do it but dont though.

yeh u want good extractors, cat, and muffle for the note. then the middle pipe should just be made to the thickness of the header.

ppl that spend 1000$ on each peice because it says spoon have too much money.
just get the pipe bent up, and make them get it to fit factory hanging points, so u can still swap them out.

[MRFIT]

How I miss my Jazz.... :)

I've had Spoon header, Xforce down pipe, high flow CAT, custom B-pipe, and HKS Hi-Power exhaust on my GD3 VTiS before, it was loud as hell, and HKS didn't have a silencer for that model, had to clutch in every time a cop is going pass me. ^^

I would definitly sugguest HKS, it looks and sounds awesome, and alot cheaper than Mugen...

[GU357]

wow ^ this guy hasnt been on in a while. somewhat of a legend amongst the current Ozhonda Jazz regulars ahaha

[nickcanollie]

Well atm, ive got J's Headers in the mail. Im thinking ill get a pipe from those to the muffler, and get a cat in if its TOOO loud.

But yeah, i think B pipe and down pipe arent really going to make as much difference as the extractors will, and muffler i just want a nice looking and sounding one.

Ive got the quote for the conversion, but ill just have this with intake and exhaust till then :)

[GU357]

lol u found someone to make u a exhaust with no cat?
i had an exhaust with stock headers standard cat and 2 resonators but no muffler.
and it was LOUD!

[fundies]

I just want an " affordable" cat back for the GE. Can't believe no one makes a reasonable cheapie for the GE.

[GU357]

get one made up. and get the Weapon R decat downpipe

[nickcanollie]

Yeah its not hard. I have a mate that makes them. I had a charade with straight exhaust and a dump tip and it wasnt too loud.

[GU357]

my Jazz, at one stage had a cat back made of a resonator and another resonator as a muffler.
it was LOUDD!!! and so much vibration. it actually hurt my ears when you took off, when cruising it was a low rumble, not bad but to take off the revs had to be around 3k+ to gain speed and it was shaking the car. my ears were going to bleed, now i try and supply my own muffler
