I have a custom made exhaust (single to dual)
is it true they take away some power?
and if so how much PK/PS do they take away?

Depends on what you have done. An N/A engine should have some backpressure from the exhaust. If you enlarge the pipe diameter of the exhaust beyond a certain diameter you will loose hp. Alltough an increase of pipe diameter up to 2.25" will cause an hp increase, just don't go beyond this point. Same goes for the muffler.

My new exhaust is mounted ! Finally it turned out to be something completely different than a Remus. I'm now the owner of a Simota exhaust system, and it sounds very good, and looks great. You can compare it (the looks) with a 5Zigen fireball exhaust.

I always thought that too but it seems to be different! Zero backpressure seems to be best with most cars (or even with all). Have a look in the "Let´s get technical-Forum", somebody wrote a big article about backpressure in there. I haven´t read it all because it´s really long but it seems to me that zero backpressure is the best!

I like the 5Zigen systems very much but they are hard to find in germany. Does Simota has got a website and where is it from?

Simota was previously very famous for making Air filters, but they've started a new line of exhaust systems. THe price is reasonable and the quality seems to be good, it's made of full inox. Even the piping. The looks are very special, it's something completely different than the European styled exhausts, you can really see the muffler. And what's more, you can remove the noise killer (silencer) very easily by removing 2 bolts and sliding it out (and back in), but i haven't tried that yet.

This is my new exhaust, isn't it a beauty?

Thats the type of exhaust I would get as well. Where did you buy it?

[VTEC1600]

I bought it at AVB-sports ( http://www.avb-sports.be ) , he had it in stock. It fits a 92-00 Honda Civic 2-door and 4-door. So it should also fit your car.

You can clearly see the 2 bolts that are holding the noise killer

Very beautifull. How big is the tip diameter?

[Veetec]

Looks good! Is the smaller pipe the silencer?

VTEC1600 - Did you install the exhaust or did you get a garage to do this. If you did it yourself, how easy was it?

thanks

I haven't measured the diameter of the tip yet, but i guess it will be somewhere are 100 mm.

Yep, the little tip you see inside the big tip is the tip (what a sentence ) of the silencer. If you remove the silencer you remove the complete inner ring.

I've installed it myself, it was very easy. If you can get it from the ground it will take you approx. 1 hour (when you do a little talking in the meantime and no rush at all). Just loose two bolts and unhook it. Hook the new one back in and tighten the bolts. Job done. Just make sure when you untighten the old bolts that you don't break them, just use enough oil (like WD40) and give it some time to do its work.

Nice exhaust.... just the type I want once 2. If I may be free 2 ask, how much did it cost you?
