Hey guys, I have a 92 Prelude. My exhaust is pretty much shot. I am looking for an exhaust that sounds good, aswell as puts out some better hp figures. I have heard audio clips of his exhaust systems and I think they sound AWESOME. I was wondering if any of you guys dynoed your cars after you put on the exhaust system to see if there were any HP/TQ gains??

Also, how hard was the exhaust system to install?? Will I have to weld the hangers?? Anyone have audio clips of their exhaust on thier Prelude?? I have only heard one from one on a Civic Si.

Right now my choice is only Thermal R&D. I wanted to get input form you guys before I buy the Thermal. I am looking for ease of installation, quality of construction, and overall performance.

Thanks for the help in advance.
Andy

 

I got 3" SS piping, 18" resonator, and dual tip SS Magnaflow muffler from KTeller8's groupbuy. He is a great seller and ships fast. I haven't gotten a chance to redyno my car yet with the exhaust on, but will do so soon. I used to run the Apexi N1 in which I made 253 whp and 209 lb-ft at ~8 psi. I should be making more power since there is less backpressure. BTW, this is on a 5th gen prelude.

The exhaust comes in 3 sections. Everything has to be welded on, i.e. flange, hangers, piping sections, and muffler. I brought mine up to an exhaust shop and they welded it for $150.

Overall, the exhaust is alot deeper than the Apexi N1 during cruising and WOT. During highway speeds, the Magnaflow is a lot quieter than the N1 was. I'm happy with it.
