searched already and found a few things... but i just wanted peoples opinion and all..

i have a 97 SH and i'm deciding on either getting a MUGEN exhaust or a CUSTOM MADE exhaust... which would be better? like which gives more hp gains through the whole rpm range?

if ever i do decide to get a custom made, any sites that would be recommended? i just took a look at KTELLER.COM and couldnt find one for my car? i aint going to turbo it, planning on going N/A...

TIA for the help and opinions...

 

if you plan on going NA then mugen is the way to go. you wont need any piping greater than 2.5 inches in diameter. Just know that the n/a route is very expensive

 

yes i do know the consequences of going N/A... but in the end all the work and money spent would be all worth it...

what are you planning to your car in the future? you may need bigger than 2.5" piping.

planning to change internals like cams and all, but for now i am just going to be sticking with basic bolt-ons... then hopefully sometime i may decide to get a supercharger...

 

Do you plan on getting a high quality header (DTR, RMF, SMSP)? If so, I would not get a Mugen exhaust system. I would go with K-Teller or even SMSP who has tubing kits. http://sms-products.com/Exhausts.html

Pm mgags7. He uses a RMF header. Just ask him what exhaust setup he has. You should be able to use K-Teller or SMSP piping.

thanks for that info... will ask him about it... thanks!

 

yes you can use kteller piping. Its just like any other header once you get past the collector

 

why are you selling your RMF?

 

hmm... okay then... i'll keep searching and all and i'll ask mgags7 for his opinion on things too...

arent RMFs stainless already? all along i thought they were...

 

same here

 

no, they are mild steel with a ceramic coating. thats why they are only 750 dollars. The stainless onces are like 1000 i believe.

ooh... right on...

 

i actually have an apexi catback still...a gt spec

if i could go back i would have a 3" system....but for most a 2.5 will work great

go with the kteller piping and find a good muffler shop to do the welding for you....

okay thanks for that info mgags7... what about the HEADERS though? im thinking about getting RMF, but would it fit fine even though i get the KTELLER pipings?

 

yeah go with the RMF headers, and it would definitely fit with kteller piping....there will have to be a little custom work to get it all to fit up.....we're not talking bolt up stuff
