what exhaust is tuned for the integra??
i'm new to this forum. this question may have been asked before but i an on a really slow computer on a dial up connection. so the question is, what exhaust is tuned for the integra and what power band would it be in? (low end, mid, top end) i am not planning to go FI. i wanna go N/A. so i don't need a 3" pipe. i've been told that the Apexi WS exhast is good. how about any others. thanx

or you can just go with the apex WS exhaust. i have heard that it is not loud at all. you can try to do a search on this board. try searching for "apex WS" or "type r muffler" or "type r exhaust". just do some research and do it right the first time.

Don't expect"midrange"from any exhaust on a Honda.remember they have very little of that to begin with.they are all pretty much the same.The apex WS is cool isn't too loud.The Apex N1 looks good(IMO)but is very loud.
Most of you run of the mill exhausts will perform the same in a lightly modded car.

Re: what exhaust is tuned for the integra?? (fuzznuts)
.... an exhaust is not "tuned" for an integra.
however, it is tuned to flow better than stock, stock is tuned to flow for good gas mileage, while still giving enough flow, and when you add more flow, it then is no longer tuned for our computers.
but yes fuzznuts, the serious exhaust manufacturers go through and use first computers to aid in the design and then they test actual numbers on a real car. so yes the good exhausts are tuned for our integras.
thats why there is a vafc and hondata... not to mention the need for a intake/header.
intake is the first place to mod a stock integra.

just get a freaking greddy evo and you take care all of your problems. I had one and so does hundreds, maybe thousands other people and i haven't heard a single complain yet

Hey slomo, can you explain a little bit what this custom piping is? I assume it goes from the cat to the type r axle-back muffler. I've got a type r axle-back, and I have headers and an aem cai, and I was thinking of doing something for the cat to the muffler. Thanks!

you are both right and wrong. in that an exhaust is designed to flow better on an integra yes, a specific exhaust is tuned for the integra. in that the piping is the propper size to be big enough to flow more, yet still small enough to continue to have backpressure on our specific application (the integra) yes it is "tuned" for the integra.

you hardly need to spend the 1 grand on a hondata when all you have is an exhaust.

anyways if you are planning on staying NA and just having a street car a greddy EVO would be an excellent choice..for serious NA power you might want to consider a 2.5 exhaust. hope this helps. ( i plan on going with the mugen catback (have the greddy evo now but need a 2.5) .

umm, i would hope the mugen exhaust is tuned for the integra...
other than that I believe Greddy and 5Zigen put in a lot of R&D to specific cars, BUT it is common knowledge on what size piping works best with what size engine with how much output, etc.
basics are minimal bends & straight through muffler as far as performance is concerned.

Re: what exhaust is tuned for the integra?? (csufweed)
Like I said earlier if you are going to buy any of the 60mm exhausts that are common,EVO,N1,Mugen,HKS ..any of them they will essentially perform the same.If you are only going to do basic mods then any of these will work just fine.
There is no need to step up to a 2.5"custom set up unless you are going to start getting into bigger cams,engine mngnt,head work,higher comp, etc...
