full exhaust??

[MRJDM]

how many boys have a complete new exhaust system. from header to muffler. i just wanna know could you feel the diff??

[mytoycivic]

i didnt but my brother did on his car...he said it was so much better...better power delivery. made it breathe better or something like that
:)

[wynode]

I might be soon....i'll tell you afterwards :)

[Tofu]

yup
it's great...!

[SIKCVC]

I just had a catback and it was great!!! but headers are the big figure chaser on the dyno.

[mytoycivic]

BTW r u NA? go for extractors if thats the case :D

[kui_iuk]

yeah i'm getting mine soon... i'll keep u update on the power difference..
*Cheers*

[bizee_1]

a little bit. then again the system that was replaced, was a cat back. i don't really have a good "butt dyno" either.
IMO though, i don't really think there is much of a difference. (unless except of course engine is forced induction) If anything, probably more noticeable at top end & freer flowing.

Oh & the noise & vibration ;)

[dundas]

cat back systems suck, go for the whole thing, HONDA already have da best engineers so if you want to waste your money on a cat back -- just expect some noise...especially on the VTEC engines.

If you change your headers you *can* have large decreases in low rpm driveability... you can end up being slower in some cases...

But yes if you are simply chasing a 'peak kw' value (which does not neccessarily correlate with high 1/4 mile times) yes headers are good...

Yo dude Cheap stuff wont get u anywhere..especially extractors...
get good quality jap stuff..
and it'll b great.. mate..

[kui_iuk]

yeah i just got mine header back done 2 1/4 pipe it's good but i expecting alot more...
Yes u lose you low end power but mid to top end power has improved..
true what danny said don't get cheap stuff... cuz money money can't lie...
but cheap stuff S#*t result more $$$ good stuff...
*peace*

[gelo]

what about the spoon exhaust system with the street type muffler?
still lose low end power?

[fried]

i think if its the right size piping u shouldnt lose power anywhere...

??? is that a fair assumption?!

i had a 2.5" full system in my b18c... and when i went back to stock system, i noticed a loss in response and topend. i thought i would atleast notice a more responsive low-mid range zippy feeling. but alas i didnt.

so get the right size piping for your application and it should be fine.

normal jap stuff for our hondas always soom to be round 60mm. so thats a good place to start! good luck!

good quality system u will feel the difference straight up..

:)

[type one]

first mod to do to your honda is extractors with 2.5" collector and cat back (piping diameter 60.5mm) and free flowing muffler - if you have only invested in a b pipe :)

and yes bummdyno shows that this will yield greater driveability and more freely flowing revs.

i did mine and it felt good down low, heaps on mid and top :)
just need to get used to the sound now i guess :D
