Which exhaust for me?

[shebangs]

If u are only gettin 1kw gain at the fly with headers and catback then uuummm.... sumthin is definately wrong with ur dyno and/or car...

When we dyno DC2 type-R's with our TODA 4-2-1 Headers and any standard Jap made catback we get 8-10kw's at the "wheels"... depending on wat intake's the cars have...

No. Thats not what I said. Learn to read. I said cat back makes SFA. OBVIOUSLY headers make a massive difference.

Take your statement of TODO 4-2-1 on stock cat back, now put a $2000 mugen cat back, or $1000 fujistubo cat back .. and how much does that 8-10kw change? I'll let you say 'flywheel' so the number actually changes.

Ok my suggestion for you would be....

if you want it reasonably quiet down low and open up higher up on full throttle is probably this exhaust....

its an apexi ps revoution....

Designed for hard tuned, street driven vehicles, the PS Revolution's exhaust pressure activated "active valve" system provides the hardcore enthusiast with the best of both worlds. The retracting valve is engaged and disengaged based upon exhaust gas pressure. This revolutionary new muffler design allows high powered street cars to maintain a tolerable, and legal, exhaust note at idle and light throttle acceleration while completely disengaging during high throttle, high load situations. Never before has an exhaust system seamlessly fused the streetability of a stock exhaust system and the performance of a low restriction racing exhaust. Like all A'PEX exhaust systems, the PS Revolution features a high quality SUS 304 stainless steel muffler. Being the standard for performance and reliability, the PS Revolution uses full stainless steel mandrel bent piping for added strength and minimum weight.

Now that seems to satisfy your needs both ways.......

otherwise if you cant source that than get an apexi n1 and this silencer for day to day driving

The ATS was developed as a high performance evolution to the standard tail pipe silencers available in the market today. While many people enjoy the power gains of a racing exhaust on the track, often times these systems require a silencer to be installed in the tip for use on the street. While sound output can be dramatically lowered using a non-adjustable silencer, unfortunately response and power tend to suffer due to increased exhaust gas restriction. The ATS (Active Tail Silencer) uses the same active valve technology as the PS Revolution exhaust system. The spring loaded valve is engaged and disengaged based upon exhaust gas pressure. This allows for effective sound suppression for the street, without the power loss under high load. Dyno tests have proven power levels to be nearly identical to an exhaust using no silencer at all.

* Please note that, due to the tapered tip of the N1 Evolution exhaust system the ATS Silencer WILL NOT fit properly. This is only true for the N1 EVOLUTION mufflers, all other exhaust systems will fit without problems.

hope that helps

ps you can go to

www.apexi.com

and see the specs for yourself....

Thanks, very informative. Exactly what I was looking for!

On the topic on silencers, looking at the silencers on Apexi's site ... it seems its possible for me to get any exhaust I want. And, aslong as a silencers exists that fits on the tip, I should be run to chose whatever I want? I'd love a Buddy Club Spec 3, and a silencer I can clip on/off whenever I wish - Best of both worlds.

Although, from the replies, I think even if I went with the Fujitsubo Power Getter - I wouldnt be too disapponted.?

Umm.....i guess if the tip is the same all you would have to do is make a hole if there isnt one already there to screw in the silencer......i have an apexi gt-spec exhaust myself and had to connect it up after i got defected and it lowered noise by about 8dbs......

actually i can read but obviously from reading ur reply its obvious that it is a bit confusing wat u are trying to say...

anywayz... just trying to help from a workshops point of view.. why do ppl take these forums soo seriously... if ur asking questions here, its obvious u need help for sumthin... geez...

anywayz.. hope u find the exhaust that is right for u... good luck..

but a normal cat-back will definately give u more top end power as the standard exhaust is restictive due to the resonators.. much more free flowing around 6-8000 rpm... can feel the vtec more, especially in a vtir integra as it suffers from a bit of performance up top due to the intake manifold design...

a silencer on a buddyclub doesn't help much

I just put a powergetter on my DC5R and it sounds really nice, nice deepish burble from idle to around 4-5k and then gets louder after that. The best thing is that cruising on the highway at 110-120kph it isn't much louder than stock. And the sound of it is a really nice sound not a tin can one.... I would recommend it to anyone.

BC3's are rediculously loud even with a silencer and cruising on the highway will annoy the shit outta you if you dont like loud exhausts.

Thanks, I think I'll go to Pwergetter!

Thanks all.

if you dont want to spend much get a mild steel 2 1/4 inch exhaust with a tip ...
no canon ...
set u back about $350 with labour and sounds real good

[yourfather]

jdmshit.com has reasonably looking cannons with gold welds and a burnt titanium tip for 75 us dollars

True you can put a silencer on the Apexi N1 but the sound the exhaust makes with the silencer on is just crap. It is a lot quieter but the exhaust note sounds like a pee wee, I know bcoz i have one. If you want a quiet exhaust just stay away from canon style mufflers.
