plan on purchasing cat-back exhaust soon, and was wondering what experience you guys have had with different size piping. my accord is a 96 EX 5-speed sedan. i plan on just doing simple bolt ons for extra power for now, and eventually an h22 swap. im leaning towards the APEXi world sport system. if i remember correctly i believe it is 2.5'' piping.
PS- i have no plans for forced induction in the future.

thanks in advance

 

just save your money. save it for the swap and dont waste money on bolt-ons for now. with bolt-ons you will never get out of the 16s. SAVE THE MONEY

 

he is right.. get the swap first..

i was hoping i could use that with the H22. any reason why i couldnt??

 

get a custom downpipe im pretty sure youll be able to reuse the catback...

 

i dont think he will need a downpipe cus no turbo tho

 

a test pipe made out of flex pipe may nix the need for a custom DP...though you might wanna create another hanger at the right after the test pipe.....the flex pipe allows the system to jiggle a bit, and u could **** up a gasket/flange (common problem w/ turbo back exhausts and cracking the turb housings)

 

thanks for the responses, any input on pipe diameter??

 

i ran 3 inch on mine.......but the choice is ultimatly up to u

 

2.5....that will go right to your catty cat cat. i would say 3"(or open dp) but you say you dont wanna go slurbo. so 2.5...but im tellin you will regret not saving for teh swap!

dont tell me you got NA motor, coz you'll have NO low end torque at all with that 3inch diameter system

people called the lower portion of their header downpipe, it just personal perferrence. people call turbo manifold header too(lag, tube,etc) so it's the same to me.

I ran 2.5 on mine

 

im a professional at laying pipe, i can answer questions for any of you gurls on here
