The Only Exhaust Thread You Should Ever Post In

[Lemonjelly]

GL on the sale man.  Since it's a bolt on system, the install should be cake.

Thanx, ima need it lol!

The only part of the install that might give me probs is the exhaust hangers for the drivers side, I have an I4 so its only single exhaust instead of dual, so I will have to find the parts and have them on hand for the install

Contact Magnaflow and see what they gave with the exhaust and try to get replacement parts.

My b, the exahust hangers I was talking about were the stock rubber grommets that the exhaust hangers connect to under the car.

I looked on majestic honda and found the parts I think I need

How are you buying it new?  As far as I know, they stopped producing this in like 2005.  Where did you find this?

[Lemonjelly]

I dunno, I thought they still made it. Ive found it on a bunch of different sites.

all for the same price and no where did I see "used" or discontinued.

I sure hope it is still available haha

You have a V6?  I was under the impression you had an i4.  Anyway, Magnaflow has 16 in stock.

[Lemonjelly]

I do have an I4. I didnt think it would make that much of a difference though..

If I am wrong please enlighten me haha

[timot_one]

I would consider a custom set up.  That exhaust system is made for a V6, which has the hangars for the DS muffler, but your car does not.  The flanges from the cat back for the V6 and i4 are also different, so that would need to be cut off and the proper flange would need to be welded on.  In my personal experience, exhaust systems designed for the V6 are louder when installed on an i4.  That's why I was so unhappy with my Greddy Evo2, because it was for the V6 and was significantly louder on my i4.  Considering the amount of money you'd be spending on an exhaust that would need to be modified to fit your car anyway, I'd get the mufflers and resonator yourself, and bring them to a shop to do custom piping for you.  I would strongly recommend coming to ESP for the work.  They did my most recent exhaust work, and when compared to other exhaust work I've had done, the final product is the best work I've had done on my car.  Be prepared to pay for quality work though.

[Lemonjelly]

hummm I didnt know about the issue with the flanges, I just assumed they would be the same. Would I be able to avoid that problem if I went with the high flow cat and headers, or would they still be different?

as far as the hangers were concerned I figured I would just have to buy the hangers from the v6 and install them when I did the exhaust.

If you dont mind me asking, how much did you pay to have your exhaust done?

[timot_one]

The flanges are different.  When you buy a header and high flow cat, it's still flanged for the i4.  The only solution you have is to chop off the V6 flange and have it replaced with an i4 flange at the cat.  The OEM hangars are welded on to the frame of the car.  They are not a "bolt on" application.  You've been PMed with the exhaust price.

[Lemonjelly]

damn..... looks like im gunna have to have a shop do my exhaust... I was kinda hoping to do this myself

I was under the impression that the hangers were just rubber grommets that were bolted to the frame that the hangers from the exhaust "plugged" into.

The only way you're going to bolt on your own exhaust is to get a coupe.  For us sedan guys, we have no bolt on exhaust options.  You can only go with custom stuff.

[Abailey4]

I prefer custom anyway. Just makes me feel special. LOL!!! I got my custom dual set up done for a total of $600 or so, about $200 in parts and $400 for the install.

[timot_one]

Derrick, you'll always be "special".  The custom set ups can be nicer because you have control of the parts used.

Exactly the reason why I like custom.  Thanks Tim! LOL!!!!!
