ive checked around online and listened to a **** ton of exhausts.. i hate them all.
i have a sleeved 85mm gsr block 12.5:1 compression and a fully ported head with skunk pro 2 cams. im currently running a standard skunk2 megapower exhaust (60mm) sounds perfect but its to restricting..
ive listened to all the buddy club exhausts and all the skunk2 exhausts between 70mm and 76mm.. they make lots of power but sound like a damn rice rocket,
what is the best sounding and performing exhaust i can get my hands on?
im going to start looking into T1R
if you have anything non restrictive and has a good low tone let me know or post a clip. thanks guys

 

T1R is good, Thermal is good too. Most people build a custom exhaust at the level your car is at to get the sound they want using various length resonators and type of mufflers as well as cats.

 

yea.. just sucks cause there is no shops around here so im stuck cutting welding and wasting money haha. i dunno whether i should get 70mm or what.. checked out the t1r. they were a little more expensive then i though. 1000 bucks is a little to pricey haha

 

ive never heard of thermal but i looked em up. they sound pretty nice. any idea on how they flow? dyno testing and all that

 

T1R is sex to your ears though!!!!

 

yea. i kick myself in the *** for letting one slip through my hands last year haha. had it for 2 days and sold it before i installed cause i got twice what i paid. now im running a mega power, wish i could find some more vids of a thermal exhaust on an na car..

 

kteller 3 inch piping, vibrant resonator and muffler

 

kinda a dumb question.. but i found a thermal exhaust for hella cheap but its for a civic.. are then bends different for a 99-00 civic or just length? cause cutting i dont mind. i would have to anyhow cause im running a race header. long tube

 

If it's off a hatch, the axle back will need to be extended (if your car is a coupe).

 

so thats it? i just want to make sure i can make all the bends line up.. guys givin a hella good deal, yes mine is a 2dr teg, so 200 bucks.. i should jump on that right? haha

 

That's what I was going to say. Find a good shop to do the work.
I have 2.5" Vibrant muffler on my GSR with no resonator a bit loud but still nice. I will be adding a resonator soon. All custom 2.5" stainless.

 

whats the biggest catback a stock cat will bolt too.. plan on a swap and dont want to buy the header and test pipe right now if i dont have to

 

Even at that compression, 3" is a little overkill. he does need a little backrpressure. It will hurt his midrange a bit

 

so i should look around 70mm or like a 2.75.. i dunno if the 2.5 will be to restrictive.. its what i have now. maybe its just restrictive because thats how it was made. dropped the header while tuning and made about 12whp..

 

would depend on the size of the main tube on the header and the collector. if that collector is 2.5 then 3 inch is a no brainer because anything after that collector/megaphone is a restriction.

there have been no dynos of people losing power from a 3 inch catback.

 

What is back pressure..? Cars don't need back pressure.

 

This

 

im running a profab long tube header i believe those are 2.5 inch

 

the backpressure you need also depends on how good your header can scavenge i believe.

 

Backpressure is need if you care about gas mileage.
Honestly people who still don't understand velocity flow need to be quiet.

 

yeah 3inch makes more power, its also louder so it depends on what you want
make the most power
or have a quieter exhaust

your choice

 

damn... i think that thermal R&D CL type at a 2.5 would be good... better than the one i have anyhow

 

The stock cat is probably the most restrictive part of the exhaust. If you remove the cat and measure the inlet/outlet, you'll be shocked to notice that it's less than 2" (inches). Installing a large cat back will do nothing for your without addressing that restriction first.

 

goes from the header to a greddy cat then the exhaust both are 2.5

 

why not keep your exhaust now and get an electric cutout? that way you can still keep the nice sound of your current exhaust and open up your cutout and get more power when you want to. just a suggestion
