Hey guys, noob question, is it damaging my car in any way by running a dc4 with aftermarket headers/ 2 1/4 piping and a buddyclub spec II muffler/ axelback and redlining with a silencer it it?
I hear a really loud/gay ratteling sound like air is struggling to get out and don't know weather this effects anything??
the loud rattling is probably the silencer rattling around in the rear muffler/canon
probably won't do much on a honda
the stock pea-shooters probably the same if not smaller than the silencer's pipe anyway
Red lining is not the healthiest thing for any engine.
constant redlining will reduce the life of ur motor
take the silencer off and let the bc spec 2 be heard:wave:
record a vid too for the sake of it
redline is awesome i sit there for 3 to 4 minutes everyday everyone looks at me
funny but i do it anyway cause it sounds cool
lol nah, redlines bad for the motor just dont sit there bouncing off it, of course it will reduce life like 'rom5' mentioned
go near it try to shift jsut before it bounces lol
redlining with the silencer is just like having the stock exhaust system on there
choking it...
its effecting your performance and makes you sound like a excelQuote:

i do not recommend redline on a regular basis!
yo its jerriel... did u buy the axle back? lol just run it liek that then take of the silencer... seriosuly the rattling is fromt he silencer , it makes it sound shitty and air--e--------
Stock tacho is quite inaccurate at high rpm. If your fuel cut is 7500, rest assured you won't exceed it without choosing first instead of third.Quote:

Oh and don't worry bout the redlining, only happens rarely, I granny shift at 2500 unless some fool pulls beside me in a SSS thinks he can beat me
Is there a vid of the bc on a gsi yet, if not im gonna make one its god damn loud
Oh and it came of an eg I think so the tip falls abit short of the bumper, like it sits underneath it, I hope it doesn't make that black burned kit look on my bumper :(
I don't have a full exhaust and silencer, but I redline my car (or atleast try to) for about 90 minutes total in 15/20 minute sessions on one day in a year. Sometimes I do it twice a year.
hondas are made to redline
its as bad as having a fart 5" cannon exhaust system and redlining it
theres nothing wrong with redlining.
its when you bounce off the limiter that you get problems
the manufactuer wouldnt set the redline at a point where it is damaging your engine...
they would set it short of that point... otherwise no cars would come with warranty
what problems occur from bouncing off the limiter? it is afterall, just a fuel cutoff BEFORE any major damage occurs from over-revvingQuote:

Down shifting at high rpm can cause the engine to rev well above the redline, and can lead to damage, this will harm your engine more than accelerating and hitting the set limit.
downshifting to a high RPM is more dangerous than full throttle it to high RPM.
