i have a 90 dx hatch, i was wondering if anyone routed their exhaust above the rear drivers side lca instead of the passengers side. this would make the exhaust straighter and i was wondering if i would notice a difference in power or if it is possible. i would have a shop weld up new pipes.


Also i was wondering if a should get an ebay header i have the d15b2 header on my sohc zc and was wondering if it was to restrictive because i herd that the zc was the most free flowing header for oem sohc.

Thanks, TK.

 

The only problem your going to have with running your exhaust on that side of the car is that there is no tunnel. Everyday driving might start beating it up if your car is lowered.

 

i well be watching your car in flames on the news.

i.e. gas filler tube is on that side.

 

its stock that way for a reason just get bigger piping.

 

I had 2 inch pipe run on that side no problem looks better from the back to

 

do it it works

 

I'll see what the guy at the shop thinks too.
But has anyone else had a problem with going that route?

 

So if you are talking about running out the opposite side that the exhaust cut out is on the bumper, it will work. I have a 90 crx and the exhaust cut out is on the driver side of the bumper, and instead of having two more 90 degree bends just after the lca I had them bring it straight out the back on the passenger side of the bumper.

 

routeing the exhaust straight back then above the drvers side LCA then straight back instead of going to the passanger LCA then to the drivers side and out.

 

It will make NO difference on a street car. Other than maybe causing problems.

If its a track car, just put a turn down on the B pipe.

Ok thanks for the input, i plan on ebay header-straight pipe-2.25 piping all the way back to a N1 style muffler. unless anyone has had this set up or one like it and it was crap.. chime in.

 

holy crap dude that's gonna be loud. if your going to do that might as well just go straight pipe all the way back with no muffler

 

Whats your set-up?

 

rock the straight exhaust. thats how its is on my gsr swapped rex cept i have 2.5" and skunk2 muffler sounds great but then again its not my DD

 

dude, that wing is ginormous! i don't usually like big wings, but that looks pretty cool! yeah, i'd just keep the piping in the stock location, easier to manage that way. no need to cut, and move ****.

 

yo your wheel set up is off the grid kid.
You want to sell that hks piece then?

 

yeah thats what i will do. how about 2.25 piping back to this http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/s...=main&id=7844?
That cat should i use? or should i go glass pac instead of cat?

 

you can get test pipes off ebay for around 30 bucks. thats what i would use.

 

yea alot of the ebay headers come with straight pipes.

Does anyone run a mid pipe? or just from cat to muffler all piping.

 

I run Skunk2 megapower 2.5 all the way back...2.5 inch carsound cat. Its all you will ever need for all motor, and maybe some boost....

 

wow.. 6 hp increase and 5 tq for $535 plus shipping. sounds like a winner.
see if i just happen to come accross one that is used. or i will pick that up at the end of summer.
i bet that 2.5 piping could handle 8 to 9 psi with a good tune.
Thanks everyone.

 

Gotta pay to play.

 

this is my set up, muffler shop special, 2" cat back out a bosal muffler to a dual tip.

 

2.5" RSR Ex-mag.... Don't know if i got any HP/TQ gains if any, but it looks and sounds good. Don't reroute your exhaust to the driver's side LCA...

 

does anyone run a magnaflow 2.25" inlet to a dual 2" outlet?
if i cant find a good used skunk2(would love to have rs*r) i will pick up a magnaflow and have exhaust shop install along with 2.25 pipes.

What should i use as a mid pipe?
