The Cx manifold is the worst I have ever seen.
Here are a few pics. The kteller exhaust fit perfect. I posted the header pic because nobody has love for the cx so there are no pics of the crappy stock header.

I think he was just letting us know what he bought?

 

Is that still on the stock CX motor? Hehe, did you notice any improvement?

 

what is the point of this thread? Where is the dyno numbers?

 

Why should anyone give love to the cx?

Either way..nice exhaust.

 

um why wast your money? for that much u could have bought a z6

or a z6 head.


oh yeah check out the intake lmao. Did you rob a DSM of some IC piping, lmao???
Dude you need some help quick.

 

how long is your resonator?
12"?
stainless steel?

 

kteller's stuff is aweseome !!!

 

I'm planning on doing a jdm d15b swap when the weather gets nice. The reason I bought the exhaust is because the stock muffler was rusted through and I needed to replace it. I originally had the muffler attached to the stock piping put it broke farther down as you can see in the pics. I figured I could use the same exhaust after I get the motor swap. The reason I got the header is because the downpipe on the cx doesn't line up with after market exhausts and I can also use it after the swap. The reason I posted this is because A I posted bitching about how long it took for the kteller exhaust to come, but when it came it was nicer then expected so I thought I would show him some love. B There is not much info on the cx on here so I thought I'd throw some pics up. And yes even with the crap motor and crap gearing the car has a fair ammount more power, a nice sound with or without the silencer, and a lot better throttle reponse. And for the hell of it and because it has never been done before I will dyno it at elite autosports and see what she has. My guess is about 60 whp.

 

I honestly never thought that you'd feel ANY improvement with upgrades to the CX motor. Guess I was wrong...

 

i wanna see a dyno plot.

 

The CX is not a bad motor, its just a bad transmission.

Slap an EX tranny and some bolt ons, and its not that bad. One of these days maybe i'll take a d15B8 and turbo it just for the hell of it.

 

I'll post the dyno results when I get them. My friend is also going to dyno his 85 golf 1.8 8v. He's the only competition I have around, and he beat me both times we have raced. I wanted to by the si tranny, I had it all lined up and it fell through at the last second so I'm stuck with the long gearing for now. I shouldn't call the motor crap your right, it averages 38mpg and has been reliable for 110,000 miles without a problem, it's just soooo slow with the tranny. Yes that is a 2g dsm lower intercooler pipe attached to a k&N "ghetto mod" No I didn't steal it I've had a GSX and a GS-T.

 

I had the same header on my old motor and it got really rusty just thought i would tell u it didnt get any holes in it or anything but it looked horrible after like 6 months of being on my car
