POWER?

[dundas]

do phatter leads increase power or do they not?

where can i get phatter leads from in adelaide.. i called a few places and said they cant cant do them :(
where can i get?

what else can i do...
will be getting exhaust soon but yeah.. ehehehe
dont want turbo though eheheh too mcuh $$ for me ahaha

[vtecinaccord]

No bigger leads would have no effect what so ever on a stock car. Plus Honda leads are better than any aftermarket ones also on a fairly stock car.

hey dundas, i saw u over at the hot4s forum

what exhaust u gettin? I've got a 2.25in cat back on mine, noticed loss of power below 2500, building back up between 2500-3000, then above 4000 it is noticeably more powerful than stock.. more so as well when i changed my filter.. i'd be interested in what results u get out of yours

[dundas]

well i was considering getting a 2.25 cat back with a resi (make it a lil more shh) den smacking a phat round magna flow muff on the rear of the beast...
once i get it ill let you know mate.. umm i think i will be getting the thing next month i rekon..
is yours pressed or madrel bent? i was told it wont be much difference pressed or mandrel on a N/A car.--whats everyones else's opinion?

[tanghy]

you have to get mandrel

[EuroAccord13]

Mandrel bend is the way to go, u need to keep the exhasut pulses constant :)

[poid]

pressed restricts the flow a lot, i wouldnt touch it. You need nice, smooth bends for good flow

[dundas]

approximately how much more expensive is mandrel bending compared to "crappy" pressed bent?

[poid]

it should be bugger all really, there are only a few bends in it

[dundas]

how many bends do you rekon? 3 or 4? hey?---how much did yous pay for your exhaust systems?

[dundas]

people from ADELAIDE---heard of AAA EXHAUST in richmond on deacon ave---- are they good or not?

where can i get a good priced zhrost (mandrel bending of course) system from???

bloody D&T said $480 for press bent system then fkn $880 for mandrel bent system... mate das total BS
HELP ME PLEASE

[viperx]

ha ha well i guess that depends on how closely you want ur new exhaust to follow the original path... i think theoretically you can get away with just 2 or 3... i cant remember how many in mine, but certainly more than 4.

[dundas]

i see i see, how much it cost you?
i really dont want to be ripped off here... might not be alot of money to some but it bloody is to me alright ^_^ c'mon i work in a supermarket for goodness sakes...cut me some slack ahahhaha.

[dundas]

HEY PEOPLES do i need to get another resonator if i put a new exhaust system into it?

was quoted $180 resi-back (waste of time) or $320 Cat back with new resonator (maybe $50 more for mandrel bending) i was thinking is that worth it? should i buy my own resonator help me out ^_^

or would the exhaust place have a better resonator that those ones?? exhausttechnology in adelaide.

dont know how it increased that much because there is only like 8 inches between the resi and the cat...weirdness im sure a resinator doesnt cost $200

ohh wells give me some help fellaz:)

[viperx]

No... resis only cost about $30-40... however ~300 is about right for a custom catback if you're getting mild steel

It would be interesting to see whether there is any power increase if you just put straight pipe out of the resi and no tail muffler :D

[dundas]

yeah well im not going to get mandrel bent system no more. a lot of places said that it is a bit of a waste of money...so yeah.
ahh wells save myself $100

getting 2.25 cat back with new resi and a magnaflow muff.
