Yonaka catback system
Supposed to read "Yonaka catback".. iPhone "corrected" it for me.
Anyone used one of these systems? I want something quiet. Don't really care for noisy crap anymore. Currently car has a greddy muffler welded to stock piping and it's pretty loud on the highway. Was checking out stock muffler, can get that for 200 from Acura brand new. The Yonaka system is 250 shipped new, full cat back. Figured I would see if there were any opinions on it.

Re: Yonaka catback system
Check you tube for clips, it is a knock off of the WS2. If your stock mid pipe is still in good shape I would go with stock, it has a nice tip and quiet.
I have heard clips of the Yonaka, seems to get raspy at higher rpms, you get what you pay for.

It sounds great but it's only 2.36" piping. Really wish it were 2.5".http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOTnksyVwNA

Re: Yonaka catback system
They are decent! I had one on my hatch when I had it. It honestly sound good for the price. None of that ricer rattle can ****. Quality and fitment is really good too! For the price I think there better then Megan or obx!!

Re: Yonaka catback system
I remember seeing Yonaka at sema when they first came out. Quality SEEMED good but I never have owned anything from them. The video makes them seem like good quality in terms of sound, but I wonder what they sound like with some mileage. I'm looking to run 13's with just bolt ons and it seems the stock exhaust will get me there. I'll probably just source a used oem muffler and keep it stock in appearance.

Re: Yonaka catback system
Honestly I couldn't tell you if its going to have restrictions on a "built" motor! I just bought it cause it was cheap and had a better quality look for what I was going to pay for. My hatch was pretty much stock with bolt on (I/H/E). I could tell you that after I swapped out the stock piping on my hatch it did feel a lot better on the top end but that's just me!

Re: Yonaka catback system
Yeah I don't think the yonaka come 2.5. It honestly only looks 2.25! As fas as miles for long term sound. It actually sound better once you break it in! I had it on my hatch for about 2 years DD! Its a super beefy low tone. Vtec sound great on it too! Cruising on the highway was fairly quite too! You know for the price you pay for one, ill honestly buy one again but not for the R

Re: Yonaka catback system
I'm really impressed with mine, the fit was perfect and it's not even loud unless you're on the throttle and that's to be expected with anything other than OEM IMHO. There's just a low hum, none of that annoying N1 rasp crap. My wife even didn't notice it til I pointed it out while on a drive, I have to roll down the windows to hear the thing, GET ONE!!!

Re: Yonaka catback system
Yeah, aftermarket muffler fitment on EM1's usually looks pretty nice. For the $, that is a nice system, I must say. Integra's show a bit more muffler, but still look "ok".

Re: Yonaka catback system
It's definitely better than a lot of the cheapo stuff out there considering it's stainless steel.
I put one on the GSR EG sedan I had and found it to be fairly quiet compared to a lot of other Honda exhausts and once I sawzalled the giant tip off it didn't look too bad either. It did have a bit of a drone and was annoying at highway speeds (but I'm an old fart who is used to European cars). I was on the verge of switching out the bottle resonator it has for a Vibrant Ultra Quiet, but never got around to it before parting the car.
I now have an Integra with a stock ITR catback. I personally like the look and sound of the ITR one way more and see no reason to take that off for the Yonaka that now sits in my garage until I put a built motor that really needs the extra flow in the car.

sorry OP, didn't mean to thread jack, but you should try and find some pictures of how the yonaka exhaust sits on the integra.

I've kinda been secretly thinking about selling the R and looking at WRX's lately also. I like the R, don't get me wrong. Four doors would work a lot better with my large family though. I just can't seem to accept the mileage the WRX gets.

Re: Yonaka catback system
that looks really good, do you have anymore pictures? I've seen some pictures where it hangs extra low, but it looks really good on yours.

Re: Yonaka catback system
Yeah on the tip issue I guess it is large @ 4.25". However the Apexi WS is 4.13" and the Greddy SP2 is 4.00" so it's not abnormal, still better than an N1 sticking out the rear in my book

Re: Yonaka catback system
I guess my main reason for firing up this thread is just the cost of exhaust in general. You see how much a USED mugen twinloop goes for? I can't see that muffler being that good. I made a nice custom 2.5" crush bent system on my b18c1 eg and it sounded really nice. Even with a test pipe! Just used a glasspack as a resonator and then a 2.5" turbo muffler. I would just rather not deal with the hassle of having a muffler shop mess with my r. If the stock muffler/piping can get me in the 13's then I'll stick with it. Now that I am old, quiet is real favorable trait of an exhaust system.
