it's not based on county. . it's state regulations that set the standards.. there not set by county. . .

256 live fast die slow? BLUIZE256


do you ride bikes?

BLUIZE256

haha.. hell yeah..

i'm guessing you do also?

joethejoeman

yea you can but hondas run off back pressure, with a straight pipe ur not gonna get much of it

mugenEGG

thats why i wanna put a muffler on it...would that give me enough backpressure?

mugenEGG

the muffler i would be using would probably be like a apexi ws2 i think....it will have a cherry bomb glasspack till i get all the money tho

ifIexplode

yea yea i do, I havent seen george in awhile. Where u from?

joethejoeman

It will run, but id put the Cat on it

mugenEGG

why? would a gutted cat work?

mugenEGG

?

BLUIZE256

i actually use to help make some of the 256 sh*t. .

but anyway, i live a town over from george if you know where he's at. .

what part of N.Y. you from?

ifIexplode

Im actually from NJ, is this arron?

BLUIZE256

yep.. who is this?

medside

are you looking to go na or FI

you should consider that question also

cause if you get the ws2 its not a straight through so it may affect if your gonna go FI.

you can do that, but like guys here say "car won't go any faster"...

oh, btw, and you will loose hearing...no big deal!

mugenEGG

well ya i know my car wont be the **** after just exhaust im just asking if this would be a good combo

mugenEGG

anybody here got a glasspack muffler?

BubblegumTate

You're gonna need earplugs.

When I bought my car it had a no-name 4-1 header, gutted cat, and straight pipe with a glasspack in place of the resonator. Most obnoxious thing I've ever heard, it was embarrassing to drive.

As for performance, I doubt it did much to help.

leave the cat on. you get no benefits from running a test pipe unless you're boosted or have a serious na setup.

what the hell? no they dont. back pressure is the last thing you want.

mugenEGG

alright thanks....ya i might just do straight pipe all the way back to an apexi universal muffler

mugenEGG

ya everyone says backpressure is good at a minimal level but i say BS...so leave the cat on...would gutting it make a difference?

deepsouthhybrid

i would run a cat if not the car will be unbearably loud at highway speeds

mugenEGG

yea thats what i was guessing....any recommendations on a high flow cat?

gutting the stock cat is worse than a test pipe or high flow cat. you now have a hollow space with lots of turbulence.
