Any more details? I'm still also noob to exhausts; will it actually improve performance and is it reversible?

why would you want to buy the mugen axle back when you could get a custom catback for cheaper or around same price?

I've installed a Skunk2 Universal Muffler on my FD1. Sounds good, around 5% torque gain combine with my Fujita CAI. Cost me $500 for the CAI and $350 for the Muffler including installation fee.

Isn't the Mugen exhaust for FD is a single exhaust so I'm inclined to think the tip won't be compatible with a stock FD exhaust unless they've already installed the Mugen Silencer..?

i might get a custom hi tech catback system from hi tech mufflers in sydney i dont know how it will sound tho
16-03-2008, 03:44 PM

If you are going to install a cannon on your fd's make sure its got a silencer. my mate's friend has a fd with a huge cannon w/o silencer. i gotta say its very loud and very annoying. the sound at the back digs into your ears. just a pointer. cheers

LOL I think my (semi) IT background has led me to totally misinterpret your analogy so I'll rephrase my question;

1. Is it worth getting it done?
2. If I do get it done, will I be able to remove it (easily) when I go to resell the car?
18-03-2008, 09:03 AM

JaCe, what I think bodaas trying to say is that its like you have Windows 2000. and then you want to install it to your P1 PC. So its really doesnt make P1 PC faster or slower. It just "new stuff that you install on your current system". ^_^

Correct me if I'm wrong Bodaas..
18-03-2008, 02:51 PM

but the problems is now windows 2000 not available anymore. only xp or vista.
P1 only available in recycle bins.
and i still don't get confused :confused::confused::confused:LOL

LOL, the car is running by ecu, my analogy is everytime you install new software program, does your pc need upgrade sometime.
well prolly same as car.
unless you car run by your own foot, like flinstone
18-03-2008, 08:54 PM

mmmmmmmmm but its just a exhaust tho...isnt it trivial to upgrade your ecu? would it even make much of a difference to reflash ecu?

the guy just ask whether improve performance or not

if you said that " just a exhaust", lol yeah thats rite

i didnt say it necessary to reflash. well your ecu already program to run the oem exhaust not aftermarket exhaust

so whats the big "D" to your car performance

Where u getting ur Mugen Exhaust? Its cat-back? Tried looking for something like that in brisbane but its really hard to find.
05-04-2008, 04:26 PM
Shimian

Noob question: In general, if i keep my pipe size (1.75" i think) and install a universal muffler with same pipe size, will there be low end loss? This is for auto FD2. Or is there a general rule for avoiding low end loss when installing universal mufflers?
23-02-2009, 05:45 PM
markCivicVti

I'm going to revive this. As over half a year has gone past.

Who now has a exhaust system on their FDs?

I still haven't found a full system for the FD1... and I've looked heaps. One place is telling me there's a "Shark" branded full FD1 system... but it sounds like a cheap crappy brand that no one has ever heard of it.

Anyone care to share their setup?

why not just get a catback instead? muffler is boring and lame and usually ends in a loss of power low end
24-02-2009, 11:18 AM
xqwzit

even if you get a catback with bigger piping you will still lose power low end
24-02-2009, 01:53 PM

soo what exhaust systems are people using? branded or custom?
24-02-2009, 03:23 PM
aero

i just want a simple (and cheap) looking tip. nothing big like a canon.. i think they dont look that great on FDs.
so maybe something like this universal muffler from xforce?
http://xforce.com.au/img/universal_items/u3_02.jpg

looks a bit like the remus tips but cheaper... lol

anybody live in brisbane and know where i can buy some good and inexpensive mufflers and tips?
25-02-2009, 01:40 AM
.k.

im in bris but if i was gonna get an exhaust i'd look at whole thing and not just muffler.. hmm not sure where exactly to get muffler but try 999? and those top fuel 1000 brand ones
25-02-2009, 09:56 AM
ekdez

also been hanging out for a cat/axleback LOL..

i think one or two of the traders is offering a catback system.

but would also like to know if anyone has a remus installed.. if so dont be shy in sharing your knowledge :)
25-02-2009, 10:02 AM
markCivicVti

Shimian has remus... but I don't just want a muffler.

A couple of traders have cat-back/axle-back systems for the FD2, but not for the FD1.

Might have to get researching and have a system made up with components of my choice if nothing comes to market... either way i'm not paying a muffler shop to make one with parts/diameter of their choosing.

There is a Weapon R header from the states, but you better get another cat in there asap if you put that in as it removes your main cat.

Must be muffler only? Or he is incorrectly stating it's for both FD1 and FD2... as (correct me if I'm wrong) they have very different floor plans. Maybe (just maybe) a axle-back for FD2 might fit FD1? I'd doubt it though.
25-02-2009, 04:58 PM

how does a muffler cause loss of power low-end though? or a full catback for that matter =/...

If it's "modify to fit FD1", then surely BC haven't done any R&D in performance tuning for this exhaust.

Might as well get a exhaust shop to make up the piping, at least then u can chose the cat, any resonators and the muffler.

its just an extension from the original pipe.. and can be remove easily to fit fd2
the extension pipe is just bolt on..

planning to get a new muffler.. what do you guys think about this

im heading towards a buddyclub specIV (a silencer muffler as i dont wanna alot of sound coming out)... coz its more of a universal muffler, i would need to take it into a muffler mechanic (tuffy mufflers) who would make the specific brackets and prob chop the end alittle to fit the FD

currently looking into a new muffler since the FD2R rear bumper is hitting the OEM muffler, and risk of the paint on the bumper melting
07-03-2009, 03:29 PM

r u going just muffler or full system?

and can someone tell me how just a muffler loses u low end power as compared to a stock muffler?
07-03-2009, 03:31 PM

just muffler... should i get a full system??
buddyclub dont offer catbacks & headers for FD (tat i know of)
07-03-2009, 03:33 PM
black8thgen

oh, i dunno. cos after reading some posts everyone says u lose power low end, but i dunno how much power and how bad.. and why lol..

a full system would cost quite a bit though. im also thinking of just muffler.
