Hey guys its me,

so i have a 97 civic hx, and i want to buy an exhaust, and i found this axle back: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/96-97...ht_4827wt_1165

I ONLY want to make my car sound loud i dont want to do a whole catback and it says thats just a direct bolt on,




BUT MY QUESTION IS!!! : Will putting this axleback on my car reduce my MPG?

 

you cant want one thing but have demands for another. since its an axel back i want to say it wont effect your mpg considering the cam cant move much more air if it dreamed all night.

 

This thread isnt made to criticize man its to help i just asked a simple question
i was curious to no the answer

because it supposedly "adds 10-15 hp" and the more horsepower obviously the less MPG.

 

It won't decrease MPG nor add HP. 10-15hp claim is bogus.

I wouldn't spend much money into that motor. I love the y5 an the ridiculous mileage it gets (I was getting 45-50 on the freeway), but power wise, nothing I'd spend a cent on. Save up for a B or K swap.

 

well see thats the thing bro
i dont want to increase my power
i just want my car to sound loud

i had a swap and traded for this civic for MPG and my commute to college. So I was asking if i put that exhaust on my car, if i would loose MPG, get me bro?

(:
btw did u check out that link?
it clearly claims it gives ten to fifteen HP LOL!! funny (:

 

that exhaust will not scavenge out much more than a stock "axle back" ,your MPG's will stay the same along with HP/TQ

o **** yo... 10-15 HP?!!!!

 

you want a loud muffler on a very slow car, with no intentions of making it any faster.. nice.

 

yes thats my intentions
i HAD a fast car, do no judge because i bought a HX you dont even no what its for,
sheesh so many judgmental people on this forum god, its supposed to be for help not to hate

 

But thanks for telling me it wont decrease my MPG or anything (:
now ill buy that axle back (:

 

Actually, it will more than likely indirectly decrease fuel economy. If you want the car louder, that means you are going to try to drive the car more aggressively, right? If so, gas mileage drops... More gas pedal equals less gas mileage.

The only thing that could make this even more lame would be if the car was a CVT.

 

LOL ! Good point ahaha but no not aggressive driving, just to make it look better and sound louder, so looks like im good to go boys (: NO REDUCED MPG FTW!!! :D
thanks!

 

Its rice but it shouldnt hurt anything to do

 

Just drill holes in your stock muffler if this is the case

 

well, if you put it that way. just take off your whole [catback] exhaust system.

 

LOL you guys just wait till im actually done with my car, im sure no ones gonna be sayings its "rice" lol

 

Depends on how you look at it...loud muffler...NO performance mods?

Rice.

What are your overall plans for it though...all appearance mods? What kind?

 

lol whatever appearance comes to mind will do
i bought my 99-00 front end which i will be putting on soon with a lip of some sort that i cant figure out which i want,

i need some help on a lip tho, thats for sure

 

o/p, you'd need more than just an axle back to actually gain hp, which you aren't trying to get. i can see you loosing mpg if you are intentionally wrapping out gears just to hear the exhaust more. ya know, higher rpms means more fuel used

 

lol yea but i hope im not shifting at high rpm
i believe i wont because the HX comes with a dummy shift light to save the most gas and i usually listen to it

so im sure nothing will change towards my MPG
