can anyone give me a list of great exhausts i should buy, with the most power gain. also the kind of prices i will be looking for???

Apexi, Tanabe, 5Zigen, Comptech, Thermal

If Money Ain't A Prob: Spoon, Buddy Club, Mugen

 

how much power would i gain from them i have a 5th gen

 

If you are looking for straight up power go with the Tanabe super racing medallion, it has a completely straight through design. It is one of the better power exhaust i have seen especially for booseted cars. As for power gains you probally will not see more than 6-8 whp, but as you put more mods on it a good exhaust will give you the most out of each of those mods.

 

thanks for the idea, i was thinking n1 or skunk2 but medallion was out of the picture cuz my freind has that and i don't lyk the look at all. does the n1 have a great power gain on the 5th gen lude??

Greddy is also makes a very good exhaust system.

 

also i was looking at thermal?? it's advertisement is great, " made specially for racing" but i just wanted real peoples opinion, cuz i dont really trust advertisement.. thanks for the advice

 

i don't like the way greddy looks, IMO. Apexi N1 sounds and looks phat on a 5th Gen. But mugen is the **** period. Tanabe is cool too.

theres a pic of my N1 on my 5th gen..look in my sig and log on to my imagestation pics.

Im really happy w/the N1, it comes w/a removable silencer which can make it just as quiet as stock. W/out it, it is a very deep exhaust in high revs it sounds very clean, no rasp, like your motor has been tuned very well.

 

The N1 with the silencer is quite louder than stock, especially between 3-4K rpm, but that is mostly in-cabin resonation noise. Above 5K rpm you hear more engine than exhaust from within the cabin (unless you have the windows down in a tunnel ). The N1 is a bit too loud for my taste, and does sound a bit raspy to me w/o the silencer - but its very agressive . If I had to do it over again, I'dd go with the thermal bc it is full stainless steel.

 

i can't find a site with the mugan exhuast for sale. does anyone know a place were i can find prices and dyno's on it. also on the other exhuasts???

 

www.kingmotorsports.com for the mugen exhaust. Don't know about dynos.

For some of the other ones contact username *hondadriven* hes a good guy, got my n1 from him for a good price.

 

i was thinking the mugan has a dual canister, lyk the dc would the gain on that be the same since it has the same design. i love the look of the mugan, but i would not mind a N1 ether. the more parts i put on the more power i would get out of my exhaust right???

 

the mugen is not tike the twin conister, the DC has 2 separat canisters, while the mugen loops the exhaust through one canister twice. the mugen would probably give you more gains than a DC, but an N1 or a racing medallion or any of the straight through N1 type exhausts will give the best gains. And yes, the more mods you add the more power the exhaust produces, not a trmendous amount but a bit, depending on the mod.

 

say i get a N1 and i already have intake. but what else would give me a good amount of hp gain. i was thinking header and high flow cat. but what else, ignition, fuel, and ajustable cam does that soung right??

Don,t bother with the headder. The only ones worth getting for the h22 are ~$1000, like mugen or smsp. Mugen will bolt right up, but an smsp won't, you'll have to get a new 2.5" cat and a custom exhaust. I'll be modifying my header to have a 2 1/4" collector and getting a race cat of the same diameter (hopefylly by late spring) so that way I will be able to use my N1 . As for other mods, I'd reccomend a vafc, it worked well on my car even when it was bone stock. I gained 15-20whp at the crossover point and 3whp at peak - not too bad.
