muff--

[dundas]

just wondering what brand muffler would be considered the best for its $$
i dont wanna be paying SHIT LOADS for just the muffler-- but would like to be decent not a shit one---

i was thinking of getting a 2 1/4 inch cat back system on me CD accord vti but not sure wat sorta muff i should get and also is it worth geting it mandrel bent or not.. a guy who works at a exhaust places said dat dont waste your money because it will not be worth it.
what should i do to keep it quiet while increaseing the power with also some nice note to the exhaust-- dun wanna car which seeks coppers attention./

thanks all.
Dundas

ohh yeah das my car ^_^ STOCKO

[choppedsprings]

where u get ur induction kit from man???

[poid]

quiet with nice note, you'll want a decent straight-through oval muffler for that. Mandrel bent costs bugger all more really, you may as well get it. Crush bends screw the flow up heaps

[vtecinaccord]

Get 2 1/4 inch mandrel with small resonator and a magnaflow box on the back they sound sweet, i have vids of mine so just PM me i can post one up on my site if people are intersted in the tone...

[Calvo]

where u get ur induction kit from man???
i can get the simota CAI's like that. if ur interested, PM me :D

[choppedsprings]

i'm very intrested in cai...how much?...

[vtecinaccord]

I had Simota Air intake kit all it did was make alot of noise and reduce power noticably, spend the big bux and get a AEM V2 i just installed one and it is THE SHIT, it does what AEM claims, great intake love it..

[h22a accord]

herm, i needs an AEM intake for my car. I miss having induction noise.

got any pics vtecinaccord?

[vtecinaccord]

will get pics tonight man i f i remember...

[dundas]

yeah my intake-- i got it from a friends shop, but he no longer has the shop -- out of business--i think i was his only customer LOL- umm if you get one.. get it STAINLESS STEEL MAN-- the simota ones are not stainless steel and they should not cost too much motoquippe can get the simota ones for $120 i think das with a simota filter too-
umm yeah
hey wats the difference with the AEMv2 one and my one? -- dunno what my brand is LOL- all i know is that it is stainless steel=

[dundas]

ohh yeah-- back to the muff
how much more is mandrel bending> also if anyone from ADELAIDE--- which exhaust place would yas recomend? D&T, Exhaust technologies, or any other-
just a cat back system.. how much yas reckon it will cost me? magnaflow--- they are not cheap muffs are they-- hmmz

[b-defekt]

gday,

It cost me $200 for my catback, mandrel bend..thats including an extra hotdog. For the magnaflow your probably looking at around $200 or so.
I got 2 1/4 cause i was afraid 2 1/2 would be too loud.

regards

[dundas]

yeah im gonna run a 2 1/4 aswell mate-=-- $200 siick---how do they mandrel bend the piping?

[vtecinaccord]

Most shops buy in the mandrel bends then just chop em in.....

[28RAG]

Is it better to go a smaller piping eg 1 & 3/4" pipe rather than bigger like 2 1/4"???

And where did you get your AEM intake from?

[poid]

for NA exhausts, you want the piping to be the biggest size which does not reduce the velocity of the gases too dramatically. Contrary to popular belief, backpressure is not the reason for sticking with smaller exhaust diameters than for turbo cars. In all exhaust systems you want as little backpressure as possible to help with the evacuation of exhaust gases from the engine. Its the velocity of the exhaust gases whichyou are worried about with the larger diameter piping.

2.25" should be about right, 2.5" is getting to be a little on the large side but is also passable IMO

[28RAG]

what about smaller again like the 1 & 3/4"??? that do the same to p'mance as big piping does?

[h22a accord]

yeh, it constricts the exhaust gases..


hey, another question, is 2.5" too big for my h22a accord?

[28RAG]

so ideal size is 2.25" for a NA 2.2 [acronym:1220033516="Valve Timing and lift Electronic Control"]VTEC[/acronym:1220033516]

[h22a accord]

so ideal size is 2.25" for a NA 2.2 [acronym:b2293ccf3f="Valve Timing and lift Electronic Control"]VTEC[/acronym:b2293ccf3f]


well the stock piping on a [acronym:b2293ccf3f="Japanese Domestic Market"]JDM[/acronym:b2293ccf3f] 149kw 2.2 dohc vtec h22a prelude motor is 2", the stock piping on a [acronym:b2293ccf3f="Japanese Domestic Market"]JDM[/acronym:b2293ccf3f] 162kw 2.2 dohc vtec h22z prelude type s motor is 2.25"

i dont know the exhaust diameter on a [acronym:b2293ccf3f="Australian Domestic Market"]AUDM[/acronym:b2293ccf3f] 107kw 2.2 sohc vtec f22b accord.

I agree with others that 2.25" is plenty enough for a stock accord.

[dundas]

the piping looks like about at least a 1.5 AT LEAST--- actually im gonna check now lol
out comes da ruler hahaah
ok f**#k its dark outside but had sum light it seems to be about 1 3/4 or 1 1/2
well yeah 2.25 for me ^_^

[vtecinaccord]

I got my intake from here http://www.swervemotorsports.com/ $470 shipped.. AUD.
