What's Better, A 3 Inch Downpipe or install an interchangable pipe after the downpipe. I was thinking this because I have a tight fit to try to make a 3 inch downpipe work since I have A/C. So I figured whenever I go to the track I could just get underneath the car and unbolt about a foot and a half of pipe to race. What do yall think???

 

I put one of these, problem solved.

 

You pansy Just yank out the a/c, saves some weight too!

 

summit has it for 28$ w/o wingnuts, either way i think regular nuts would be better, but much better than an extra dp

 

You crazy I live in Texas......A/C is the most valuable thing to on my car!!!!

How does that thing work? What you just weld it in and unbolt those bolts when you want?

 

Pic should be self explanatory, so um yes just like you said. I put mine a little after the down pipe after the 02. THere is room there although you might need to take out heat shield.

this one can open by pulling the cord from inside your car. Imagine an open downpipe in a second for a street light race. Too bad it only comes in 2" diameter, good for dual exhaust V8s

How well does that thing seal??????

 

It comes with a gasket and has a perfect seal. Like the other guy said you could use nuts but I just tighten the wingnuts with a wrench, when they break ill use the nuts.

 

Wuss ! You think you've got it bad, i drive around without a/c during the summer and i live in stanky, humid, ball sweating, mosquito infected southern Louisiana. But then again that's what the bike is for

Hehe maybe duals on a slow *** V8! 2 inch exhaust, are you nuts???

BTW - Unless they've improved in the last 10 years, those ones with the cables NEVER seal up all the way. You'll be driving around with a leaky sounding exhaust.

i was looking for them a while ago but the largest i seen them was 2 1/4 from flowtech and i needed bigger

so i said hell with it and i ran open dp

and i did this on the street everyday driver and i had a/c

 

Some area's will give you tickets for open DP. When you get enough tickets like I did they deem the car un-street worthy and tell you it can't be licensed as one until it gets an exhaust. I still haven't put one on it, and I don't know if I ever will.

 

I'm just gonna have my friend cut 1 1/2 foot of pipe right after the downpipe and put a flange on each end so I can remove it when I go to the track.

 

Where can i buy one of those?

 

i drove it like that for over 4 months and not one ticket

i gess it was just good luck

 

Don't worry about listening for detonation with an open DP.

 

If you really want to do this, then have somebody weld a section of pipe onto your exhaust, then weld on a 3" 3 bolt header flange, then make a cap using another flange. That's all this is...

 

LOL, yeah, I love my Honda, but when I was 18 I built an 11 sec Dodge (dual 2.5" exhaust) and I'll bet the fastest any Honda was running back then was about 20 seconds

these suck *****. I had one on my ride and leaks from the exhaust got annoying. get the 28$ cutout if your gonna go this route.
