Hi Everyone,

Today I decided to take a cruise down to Rob Bliss Exhaust at Geebung. Robby Bliss has been around for a long time and thought he would be the pick to go to.

The guy at the counter was very helpful in regards to deciding what to do with the exhaust. He asked me if I was after a bit of noise, and knowing myself, I jumped at it. He said the best way to go about it, is to basically remove everything after the join (where it splits into two), followed by replacing it with larger tubing, 2 x straight through mufflers and new tips (similar to the tips on it, just shinier )

After talking about it for a little while, I suggested extractors. His reply was plain and simple really, "the extractors on i-VTEC engines are already tuned to perfection, and installing aftermarket extractors would not provide substantial kW gain for the price." (about $540 fitted). He also proceeded to tell me that the reason he advised just to rip off the exhaust from basically the rear axle, is because thats where Honda deaden all the sound, whilst the front half (1/3) of the exhaust is still in perfect condition, performance and construction wise.

Another topic I decided to rise with him was buying a new high-flow cat for it. He only had one objection about this. He explained to me that Honda's tend to have sensors either at the front or the back of the cat. Now he said there is one at the front of the cat, then there won't be any issues, but if there is one at the back of the cat (ie: placed after the cat) then engine lights will start appearing, and this is not something I want to happen.

All in all, for the new mufflers, tips, tubing and fitting, it will cost me $500 fitted. For the new high-flow cat, about $340 fitted.

My question is, has anyone had any MAJOR issues installing aftermarket extractors or a high-flow cat to their '05 accord euro or similar models?
