I know I saw a picture of this and read something about it. But I cant remember what the heck I searched to find it. Hopefully someone can help me out.

Is the type r 2.25 mandrel bent piping? And if someone has the pictures I saw of the stock gsr rear section next to the type r i'd like to see that again.

I am thinking about purchasing a type r rear section and I wanted to make sure theres a piping difference. The first place I talked to tried to tell me the exhaust on the Type R & GSR are the same.

 

The place you talked to DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!!. There is a big difference between the GS-R/LS exhaust and the TYPE R exhaust. First is that the GS-R/LS is 1.75" in diameter piping and the TYPE R is 2.25". Plus the bends in the GSR/LS are not mandrel bent like the ITR's.
I know that the GSR and LS have the same exhaust because my friend and I both got ITR exhaust installed on our cars.

thats what I thought...

Anybody know a good source on the net for type r parts?

 

calm down smokey. im pretty sure the shop was referring to the interchangeability between the GSR and R exhausts.

 

I am calm.. they said it was coming up the same part number.. thats why I questioned what they were saying..

dont really matter as long as I get the right part..

 

I've got those pics, I'll post them when I have a chance. I have the itr exhaust on my car.

 

GSR is in the rear, ITR is in the front. Let me look for more...

Your're welcome vtec!

I didn't really notice a real big difference powerwise, however it sounds a lot better, more throatier. I do like it though.

 

I will let you know soon.

 

I second that.

 

i guess i should know this, but does an ITR exhaust (cat and all) mate up to a 96 NON VTEC directly?

 

woa gsr gurl . . . . .
send me an enlarged pic of you working on that teg. looks good from what i see , but i would like to see itmuch bigger.

 

tryin to bust a homewrecker eh?

 

lol..sorry..i was talkin to 1qwkgs.

 

yes!

 

LOL Naw...I'll wait till my next project is underway to take and show pics.
You can check out my website though. The pics haven't worked for some, but they may work for you.

 

i tried they didnt work
well let me know when them new ones are up .
what new project you working on?

 

Both the b-pipe and the axle-back muffler sections fit just the same on the Type-R and my LS. You can swap either one or both of them and it'll fit. The rubber exhaust hangers are a lot easier to get on/off the ITR pieces than their LS counterparts, but they look like they're stay on just as well if not better.

I had my ITR muffler on for about a week before I put on the b-pipe and DC header, and I noticed a slight improvement. It felt like it picked up better when I punched the gas (like right after an up-shift). It wasn't a huge difference and I didn't notice it at first, but I definately felt an improvement after driving it for a bit. I installed a DC 4-2-1 and the ITR b-pipe on Saturday, and they make an instantly noticable improvement. It hauls *** now.

I noticed my catalytic convertor sits a little towards the passenger side now. It was rubbing on a metal thing on the car that sits above the cat, so I had to bend that to the side a little so it wouldn't hit. I think that was due to by header more than the exhaust though.
