Is it a straight through muffler or a zigzag? Could you see through the muffler if you looked through one end?
kakimoto racing is supposely a oval straight thru muffler :D
How much did you pay for the custom exhaust if you dont mind me asking? Are you happy with the quality and craftsmanship? I'm tossing between a custom one and a straight through buddy club one...
Keep this thread up because it's like the only active euro build threads!
It's straight through, and dying, extra loud :DQuote:

The exhaust is literally a straight line until it has to wrap around the fuel tank, can't see how it could be out-performed (except for weight) by any other exhaust!Quote:

yeh cause it's straight through thats why it's loud since your only running 1 hotdog with no resonator.
Yeah, a big part is because it's straight but a lot of it is the fact that they muffling components in the muffler are dying and there's holes in the back of it :pQuote:

But I realise the more I drive it the more it will die and the louder the car will get until it will be a defect-mobile and unbarabley loud :(
So what he has there is essentially an N1 exhaust but with 2 90 degree bends. LOL crazy loud.Quote:

Haha, it's actually not that loud, it all depends on load I've fount. WOT downhill is actually pretty quiet, crusing uphill, however, isn't :p
denile!!!

Swim if you must, i will swim depending on how the weather is.Quote:

Your VTEC fell off? :p How much power do you think your car is making right now?Quote:

so 118kw <-- what i think.
The 5kw is from the RBC? I think you'd make a bit more than that with exhaust and intake...Quote:

well when i did dyno it was with stuffed up aem pod intake SRI with dodgy cai feed with headers/hi flow/exhaust.
Didn't really get a good feed from the blower.
I'm not sure about now because i am running feed straight to bumper.
You haven't told me when...to drag it....need to work out a time away from uni examination times...
haha, lemme rephrase the question. Would you come to WSID when I go in a few weeks?
I reckon your car would be on 130kW now... with full exhaust and intake + RBC
No way man....Quote:

Well I'm still waiting on the intake from Justin, but once that's on it should be the Wednesday right after :)Quote:

Goes back in Friday to get a Berklee Race muffler put on. Basically identical design, the straight through 2" inner section but 2.5" inlet. Hopefully it will be a bit quieter because the muffler actual works to an extent (it's brand new) :)Quote:

Which muffler are you getting? I'm doing a bit of research at the moment for a custom cat back as well.

Video hasn't finished processing so I'm not sure if you'll be able to watch it yet.
Also the Berklee muffler I had on order didn't arrive yesterday like it was supposed to. So it might not be getting put on until tomorrow. But if it does I'm gonna try and get a custom intake made up too then I'll fit that and the TB in one go :D
spending too much money.... L-man
There's nothing else I wanna do with my money :pQuote:

in the vid it doesn't sound like a wrx but sounds very airy...
OMG!
i so need to make a vid like that of my car :p hehehe
awesome dude...
sorry im taking so long with the intake, ive been sooooo busy with work :(
Thankyou! That's a big compliment after having my hearing impaired by your car :pQuote:

I'll just keep waiting for the intake, really it's no rush. You'll just have to live with the constant guilt of knowing you're choking a Euro :p JOKING
Seriously though, I'm more excited about RSP results that getting the intake. Intake is a nice side-note to seeing the RSP :wave:
ALSO, I was looking in the reflection of some shop windows on the way home and I saw a Euro identical to mine racing a SSS *AT THE TRACK Didn't do badly at all :D
*bennjamin ninja edit DONT do it
*Damn, I thought it beat around the bush enough
Nice vid. make one for my car.
Hehe, I will if you want :pQuote:

but you are fixing the cracks and rust on it right?
Change of plan... ended up swapping the Berklee on today. I had cancelled the install and gone up to the shops to buy some food. As I got back to the car I saw the muffler and it was actually starting to droop down. I got under the car at the side of the road (a few confused faces) and the muffler was moving about 1cm each direction without the b-pipe moving at all. The cracks at the top and bottom that were once 5cm each had increased to just under 20 and the car was popping 3 or 4 times very loudly everytime I went off the throttle.Quote:

It actually looks remarkably similar to EUR003act's mufflers. From the back my car looks a bit like a single outlet of yours Justin :p
Will get pics eventually, got a tiring weekend coming up...
hahah nice.... good on you man how about sound levels?
i am sad to say my car bodywork won't be complete by the cruise so will look like sh1t until then.
The sound level is very similar under load, but a lot quiet under light load or idle. Idle sounds just louder than stock.
Your car still looks better than mine even if everything is messed up on yours :p . You're talking about quite possibly the highest euro on the forums when you compare it to mine.
What's happening with your ecu man? I'll buy that shit in a heart-beat if you don't want it anymore :D Why are you always on ozhonda and never on msn?
hahahah mine is topZ??? pffttt...... yeh i wish all i need is a better header and you can call it that... until then i will live with my dcsports.Quote:

OH i am on during work hours too but yeh trying to some uni homework....
In regards to tuning i will take it to Adrian once i am done with the bodywork.
Good write up...Liam.
Alot different to the last time we were at WSID.
Benn, are you gonna organise a OH WSID night soon...............?
:) :)
Haha, a bit better than my time where I had a fully sick cold air feed to the stock box...Quote:

Will you come out when I take her to WSID next?
Reason that I dont usually go is because of work :(Quote:

Makes your euro look like a touring car, just add a honda sticker on your windscreen ROFL!
btw gf said your crazy yesterday.... :p
You reckon it would look good or bad if I had a CF trunk but kept the stock spoiler on it silver?Quote:

if you go cf trunk go M3 lip to match or in satin black.
Crazy for having the spoiler? :pQuote:

Crazy for being so ballsy on the twisties.Quote:

Liam, when you get the CF trunk don't get an M3 spoiler.
You need more baller parts. Get a Genuine Spoon lip spoiler or a replica CF one. :thumbsup:
keep the spoiler if you like it ! its your car !

That little spurt we did downhill before that sweeping left, lol, I think it was a race of egos more. Who was gonna brake first, lol. As soon as I went off the gas my tail started floating, got a little too close to the cement walls than I would have liked :eek:Quote:

Revive, heres a cheap K20A2 head I saw...http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=110368
Haha, thanks for the revival! A lot has actually been done that I've tried to post up but my computer has crashed and died like 3 times right before I was about to post it. So I've been so pissed off that I haven't updated it out of spite, lol.
I have been tossing up the head swap idea. But from what I've read the K24a2/3 head is basically identical in flow to a Type S head. The only advantage I can see in the k20 head is that you won't need to swap valve seats etc. to swap K20 parts in. But if I wanted a better flowing head then I could port/polish the K24 one I guess.
Still, there is my theory that the K20 head on K24 slightly increases compression, but everyone seems to think that's wrong...
I think he bought the head from DRHONDA a member here.If he did it'd be a good buy.Quote:

and also i have bragging rights at K20 frank :p lol
Is that it! I would have expected more :p
i thought you would have been running leaner.
Adrian at Toda reckons there's 5kW+ in the catback, so I'm going to a dual soon :pQuote:
