The Only Exhaust Thread You Should Ever Post In

[fabulous010]

alright just asking. i am not doing a full exhaust until my stock one goes. i was thinking about just ripping out the resonator and welding a pipe back in. it wouldnt cost me much. but i dont want it to be that loud. i jsut want a little sound. i know that it wouldn t do nothing in terms of performance.

if you do a straight pipe your gas mileage will go down the drain

Please explain.

How would gas mileage go down? All the resonator does is "muffle" the noise coming out of your engine. The only way gas mileage will go down is if you're constantly on the "go" pedal just to hear your raspy exhaust.

Ah yes, the exhaust system. Everything is so tempting at this point, lol. Lemonjelly, how much was the price out the door?

I ended up with a sweet deal, I found a kid on G7A who was parting out his accord who had this exact exhaust already done and was getting rid of it for REALLY cheap so I scooped it up. If you really want to know what I paid for it I can pm you the price.

He is currently selling his evo2 (single exhaust) that he had extended for his sedan. He is looking for $550 + a stock 06-07 exhaust in its place. He has only had the evo2 on for a few months and it sounds really hott. He fired it up for me when I was down in NY picking up his old exhaust.

Here is the link to his post.

i dont know how that could possibly decrease fuel economy. might increase fuel economy by 0.00002%

[Jeff Likes Bagels]

Eh, I'm not sure I'm willing to drive all the way up to NY just to pick it up, lol.

Thanks anyways. I'm sure my time will come when I find an awesome deal just like you, lol.

EEEK I wish someone had chimed in sooner, but DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON A MAGNAFLOW.

You mine as well order a REAL muffler online and have someone else install it.  Order one that is designed for your car!!

[Heckler]

I know this has already been talked about (at least on the old Gen7), but what's the stock diameter piping?  I'm thinking about going back to that size that's why I ask.  I remember it being a little over 1.75"?

Does anyone think I would get some of my backpressure back simply going from 2.25" to 2"?

[timot_one]

Yeah, you're correct about the OEM size.  You may gain a little more backpressure if you went down to 2".

i disagree. i have a magnaflow 14829 and i am pleased. i also swapped out to 2.5 inch piping

[BliNx197]

^+1 on getting a custom exhaust, I wish I had gone with one myself

[Skippy]

I would also agree with Timmy.  I really don't see too much of a harmful drop in backpressure with having a 2.25" exhaust, and I do not think that it's worth it to go down a quarter inch and shell out the money for a new set of pipes.

Rolo- Did the v6 coupe exhaust bolt right up to the existing exhaust manifold?  Did you notice any performance gains/losses?  What about the hanger placement i.e. bolt up to the stock locations?

To all-  Has anyone actually done this?  Pics of the install would be great!  I was also considering this setup, as long as the price was right, of course.
