I have a stock exhaust right now on my car, which has a stock engine with no mods. I will be doing some mild modifications to my engine soon, but here's my question. I am in the position to get a Greddy SP exhaust real cheap from my buddy's Prelude. I know I'd need to make a few modifications to the exhaust to make it fit. Since this exhaust is designed for a turbo engine with a large volume of exhaust gas, will the exhaust be too unrestrictive for me and hurt my engine's performance with a lack of back pressure? Another route I'm considering taking is just getting a straight pipe custom made from the cat back to a universal muffler. But with that setup I'm worried about what the exhaust will sound like, any suggestions or advice?

 

Yeah thats a good question, all I have is headers and intake. I kinda have a feeling new exhaust will only hurt at this point, possibly help the very top end, but I dont have enough bottom end yet to make those sacrafices. Has anyone seen a dyno comparing the 2 setups? It would make sense if I had GS exhaust, but the GS-R isent that bad....I dont think.

 

Just get the right diamater piping (2.25) and you should be fine. Or get the OEM type R exhaust, its real nice.

From what Ive seen (I guess heard would be better), it looks like you have to be FI or a serious all motor freak to realize the difference between the Type-R and an aftermarket set-up. Is this a reasonable assumption?

 

yes. with N/A you dont want to go any bigger than 2.25, but if I was you I would get the OEM type R cat-back, quiet and bigger diamater.

 

What about me? I've got a G2, and G3 exhaust doesn't fit on my car

 

This isent about you Dawson! Just kidding, I dont know **** about G2, but I think you came to the right place

 

that's right, design is totally different, and even on the opposite side of the car from the G2. Greddy and others do make exhausts for your G2, though, finding one isn't a problem, it's just different. Though, sometimes G2 exhausts are more expensive (the G3 redesign simplified things, and with it, brought down the cost a bit)
