Hi guys, ive got a few ideas off boost for an exhaust for my ek. being all honda men i was wondering what exhaust system you think would be best for my budget and needs. Im prepared to spend up to around 400 on it and im not all worried about gaining more power from it, i just want a nice deep non tinny sound.
i suggest xforce twinloop ftw! check out the trader race nation.
cheap and sounds alright

i got told to get a 2inch catback system with a hotdog. what do you guys think of this? suitable or not for my ek
If you're not concerned with power, just get an exhaust shop to weld you on a muffler. The x-force twin loop isn't bad. Even a canon muffler with the rest standard isn't very loud, but will give you that deeper tone.
na my mate has a muffler welded on and i dont like sound that much. What i meant was im not after huge power gains from a new exhaust system, eg im happy if i only gain say 10kw more but aslong as i get a nice sound
anyother ideas boys?
go with a magnaflow muffler. save your money and just get an axleback if ur really concerned with sound

Headers will make it sound alot better aswell, not to mention decent power gains in the top end, somthing for the future perhaps
> im happy if i only gain say 10kw
An 11% increase on a D16Y4 with just a muffler is pretty substantial.
Nick.
i got a mangaflow also, nice look and nice tone
with the d16y engine how much more would i be likely to get out of it with extractors and a hi flow cat??
i cant give u exact figures but you'll definantly feel it. the extractors and the high flow cat are giving you the performance increase. cat back + stock cat and stock headers gives u nothing except sound really
i on my d16 dohc i have 2.25" catback with 15" hotdog mid pipe 9" hotdog but before the axel and a 8x4x14 oval muffler on the rear and i love its sound and less than 400. deep and tough. gain throughout the rev range, maybe slight loss down below 2k, which i never use, the gain i got up top was unreal 5k-7k+ huge boost. sohc i'd keep it 2" but all straight flowing. the rear oval muffler offset centre is a winner imo. so aim for a 14-17" hotdog mid pipe and a oval 8x4x14" straight through or even chambered rear muffler. chambered rear mufflers give a deeper note too, but can sound too deep almost farty.
ok im starting to form opinions on what to get, any good places in brisbane that you guys would reconmend for my exhaust?
Thats what I had done for my EK. Gives a LITTLE bit of extra power (but not much) and really improves the sound. Add a K&N air filter to your setup later for a really sweet sound.Quote:
