Yo Dude - I ran a 2 or 2.25" exhaust from my stock cat back...I would have to go measure it to be sure the diameter, but I asked the shop to make a new cat-back system (minus the resonator) using whatever size pipe was the same as the opening in the cat....It looks stock, except for the slightly larger tail-pipe, it sounds awesome and it definitely increased top-end power & flow, even with the d15b2 (no loss of power after 5k like stock tiny-ass pipes) ;)

I need to snap some pics before it starts to look bad and rust & shit but I've been lazy :bloated:

cool b/c i pulled again for my exhaust yesterday and itz starting to get annoying....

so i'll see how much it is to have 2.25" cat back piping run into a stock exhaust....if jim shows up i'm gonna see if he can get me a price on a EF9 exhaust:bigthumb:

im doin the same cuz i got a ticket 4 my exhaust and i have to take it off. i was wonderin whats the difference between a cherry bomb and a turbo ll performance muffler

i don't think cherry bombs are legal in VA...but do a search b/c there was just a thread about cherry bombs started not too long ago

i got another ?....if i run 2.25" into my stock exhaust my tail pip is going to be really restrictive....any ideas??

I wanna know the same thing, I've heard it used several times lately. Who makes a muffler for the sedan or hatch that is pre bent to use in your stock location?

I don't see any reason why you couldn't run 2.25" pipe but I haven't done it or tried so I really don't know.

It will probably be quite restricted.. Think about it, you're running 2.25" piping into a muffler thats made for like 1.75" piping.. It doesn't even make any freakin' sense to me! Just go to a car shop and buy a peformance muffler that looks like the stock one, but with 2.25" inlet and outlet, and then get an exhaust shop to just bend it all to look stock. Thats what I did for my setup, but I used 2.5" cat, piping, and muffler. The muffler is a Dynomax Super Turbo, it was like less than $50 (american), and I just told the shop I want it to look totally stock. Its looks great with no tip or anything flashy, and it was nice and cheap. :bigthumb:

how does it sound and do u have any pics of it:confused:

It sounds awesome. Totally deep, nothing like the sound people get out of these cheap ass straight-through crhome mufflers. I will have pics up in about 4 days or so and you can see it. Its such a nice exhaust setup, I've have 4 different setups and this is by far my favorite. Its so quiet when you're just driving around normal, but when you get on it its got a nice toned down growl.

i went and found it.....it has a 2.25" inlet :bigthumb: and 2 2" outlets....what kinda tip(s) would u reccomend putting on it or just let the muffler shop do it:confused:

just put two 2 inch pipes to the back for total sleeper style.. the cops wont bother you as much like that

No tip = No attention from cops or ricers searching for a street race. :bigthumb:

Its your call.. I totally love mine with no tip at all, just the 2.5" piping bent around like stock, but if you do want some bling, then get the muffler shop to weld it on for you when you get the piping done.
(you'll need some after the muffler anyway so it will reach around and come out the stock hole)

I'm guessing that an electric cut-out is like an exhaust bypass so that you can run the car with no muffler whenever you want by flipping a switch or something... Good idea, wouldn't mind doing that myself...

i was thinkin of something like the accord mufflers that have the chrome around the muffler outlet....i'd like something like that

Dude stock style mufflers are the way to go, anything such as flowmaster, magnaflow, dynomax, and those style mufflers are far superior to the bomb mufflers or whatever. Straight through mufflers are just newfangled glasspacks, they're nothing special. I actually have a pacesetter cat back on my car, the sound is absolutely perfect and gets better everyday. I've cut flowmasters and pacesetters and magnaflows open before, and they're all just about identical inside, and the tone is soo much deeper and smoother than straight through muffs.

BTW to anyone who buys a pacesetter cut that damn tip that it comes with straight off there and get a good one or none at all, that tip that is on there is actually designed so that the inner sleeve of the tip vibrates and makes noise. but other than that it's a damn good exhaust system.

yeah electric cutouts bypass your muffler, you can get cable operated ones too they're a little cheaper.

Siz,
I did the same thing in case my description wasn't clear and I love it. Even my buddy who's gone thru two Mustang's (GT's) & currently owns a BMW 325is says he likes how my car sounds. "ya know, I hate all these damn ricers with those big-ass chrome mufflers, but yours sounds awesome for a li'l 4-banger...i think that is the best sounding setup i've heard on a Honda" :cool:

I'll snap some pics today and try to load them up while I am waiting on the Direct TV guy :biggrin:

POST PICS! :D

Pics of my exhaust and my whole freshly painted car will be up in a few days.

I got it from a small place called "Jims speed shop" in a small town.
My price is average, $110 for a freakin' muffler is CRAZY.

sastanley - Thanks for the pics.. It looks a LITTLE different then mine, but not much.. Maybe its just the angle of the pictures..
Nice stock looking setup though! :bigthumb:

yeah man thanks....I debated for a long time about a SS Thermal system which is what I really wanted, but they are almost $400 and then you have to install the damn thing. I think I paid around $250 for this setup at the local Meineke, including install...The muffler itself is some generic "turbo" muffler and it was about $45 or so, and then the $$ for labor and pipes & bending/welding etc...
Sorry the pics are a little hard to see everything, esp. with the trailer hitch in the way. My new driveway isn't paved yet either, so I have a soft bed of rocks which I am smashing down to make a nice bed for the blacktop, if the builder ever comes back and finishes that shit :rolleyes:

i'm ordering the muffler today...itz $67 w/ free shipping....i already have 2.25" piping, so i'll just have to get it installed and pipe bent for the tip and i'll probably get a tip from pep boys...like the chrome ones that go on top of the exhaust tip that you don't have to weld on....

NOOOOOOOOOOO! They're ugly, they non-functional, and since they aren't even SS, they rust.

i want something similar.....i'll probably go to the junkyard and look for an accord and take the chrome exhaust tip covers off....or something like that....the bare pipe doesn't appeal to me:grinno:

check out mine.....
