So I've got a 4" Cannon on my Teg DA9, I think it's a Catback like you said, but I don't really follow, and I'm not sure if mine would improve performance or not.
Google tells me that the Catalyct converter is basically a tank before the end of the exhaust and generally under the car and not up in the engine bay? The exhaust I've got installed replaced the previous one, so does that make it a full exhaust? And would this improve performance?
Also, if I was to add a Pod filter to make my engine look a bit cleaner, would it give me any performance improvements without adding a box? Keeping in mind that the battery is right beside it, in between the filter and the engine?

id say just go all out and buy a full exhaust system....cannons are a piece of shit, everyones been there and everyones moved on and never turned back...they just bring unwanted attention to your car from gay Cu**ts and police (and on the downside the epa)
If your lucky enough like me go and scout the trading post and car wreckers..i picked up my full exhaust from extractors straight through 2.5" exhaust system for 190 bucks cause the dude didnt no anything about it...
even going to a exhaust shop and paying the extra dollar for a brand new one that will give your car a good note and better power and possibly saving a lil fuel will be far worth it!

the cannon doesnt really have much purpose just noise its prob no diff u running no exhaust at all
a full exhaust is what it states a full exhaust system remade for a performance gain
the exhausts on hondas are really restrictive because they like to keep noise down, and this means they restricting power aswell when u do exhausts u get a gain
but doing things like new cats headers etc. ur making it breath better giving u more power again
everyone is different i personally like the look at me im loud but at the same time my teg isnt overly loud unless it giving it heaps
so how u gain power is from mandrel bends instead of press bent systems (though its minimal)
headers get the air in and out as fast as u can
and cat (helps get it out if its restrictive its not gonna help)
the cat is just for emissions my old cars never used to have one or i bashed them out and had a hollow center

Okay, so far what I've gotten is that putting a 2.5" exhaust Catback would give me a bit more power because it's forcing the air straight out, I understand that.
Is there any point modding my car considering it's not a V-tech model? In fact I'm not even sure what type of engine it has in it, can anyone help me out? :) I'm still a noob, before you flame aha.
I was actually considering buying a V-tech engine and putting that into my car in the near future, because I'll be spening alot on repairs, nearly as much as it's worth, so instead of ditching the car, just replacing the engine and modding it up as much as I can without going past NA (I'm still on my P's)
Thoughts, suggestions?
-
you would have a B18a like most of us here... so no vtec :s
There alright engines but just dont have much power...Aman turbod his and as far as i know its going pritty good...its up to you what you want to do with your engine. if you have the money then swap engines.
-
Ah okay, I've looked into the advantages of V-tec a little bit, I know a little bit about it, and am learning more, slowly but surely.
How much would it cost approximately to switch engines? and would my B18a be worth anything? Because my thoughts are that it's a fairly basic engine, so without the car, no-one would buy it.
I'll probably just upgrade I'm thinking :) Although this is very very long term :p
-
once there in they worth more
however.... i dont think its worth it u need to rewire the dash and add wires for the vtec unless u have a da9 harness with vtec engine
i think vtec engines r a little overrated
some guys change the cams to killer cams pointless if u doin this to ur car coz ull have no vtec anyways...
but u need to work out what u want... im quiet happy with my car atm except tune
i need to tune it up more was to lean on the dyno i made 143whp at 4000rpm on 4psi boost
-
So V-tec's aren't that much better performance wise then a B18a?
I'm not really sure what I want, I'm still learning and need to get some cash together to test the waters ;)
-
well yeh they are better then B18a but what some people say is for the amount of power gain u get compared to the amount of cash and effort you put into getten the engine in the car it doesnt really seem worth it sometimes...
do an LS/Vtec or reco your engine and turbo it like Aman thats more unique!

Ohhokay, I'm with ya now.
