I'm tired of getting exhaust TICKETS!!!! HELP!

[partyhardryan16]

mines the same way, i got an OBX H-Style catback with header and intake, my buddy told me when i hit vtec he hears me from like 2 miles from his house, not to mention the 2 15s i have in the trunk!! HAHA

[High_Power_2nr]

waht does it mean "when i hit vtec" when does vtec activate?

[partyhardryan16]

on the 97+ preludes around 5200 rpms , but its different in every vtec engine, my old accord hit around 4000

[Johnny Groovez]

VTEC . . common in new preludes . . systems where when your RPM's reach a certain point the small lobes on your camshafts stop spinning and the large lobes take over . . u will feel a burst of power and much louder sound from the engine . . around 5.2 it kicks in . . harder if u have an intake/headers/exhaust.

About the new 95 db law in cali, i heard if u buy a cheap db tester at radio shack for maybe $40 an keep it in your car that when u get pulled over u just test it for the cop an he wont even write u the ticket most of the time. that seems easier that just waiting til u get pulled over an then having to get it tested and then fight it in court. just an idea for those from cali

[partyhardryan16]

yea, just hope you havent had a few beers or anything like that before getting pulled over

i would say 9 times out of 10 the cop won't even bother with that unless he's just tryin to be an ass, or you really pissed him off or the exhaust is obscenely loud. i haven't heard of anyone i know that has gotten a ticket for exhaust in a long time. they hit you with useless tickets such as no front plate, tint, turn signals, things that are completely harmless to people and the environment. yet you have old ass beat up cars spittin up smoke and drippin oil with their bumpers being held on by duct tape and mufflers dangling off the back of the car, shit that the cops don't seem to bother.

ok, i'm done with my rant

[prelude00]

go magnaflow dude. They are not as corny as people think. The whole purpose is to get your engine to breathe. you don't need loud exhaust to do that. Its a quiet and almost stock looking exhaust.

yeah, magnaflow is a decent brand. not very popular amongst japanese cars but they're pretty good.

[Phunyguy]

@ magnaflow - was gonna do my setup with magnaflow.

Is the Magnaflow a muffler only or a Cat Back?

[AcesHigh]

Magnaflow offers both. I am using a Magnaflow Cat, but the problem is that is does not directly bolt onto the exhaust or downpipe.
