hey guys i heard u get 5 to 10 hp.
form catback exhaust and headers

i might as well get an exhaust, and forget the
catback exhaust system,
right

600 dollarst for an exhaust system when u
just get 10 ponnies out of it,

can anyone elaborate?

if you just get the muffler, chances are you will get absolutely no power from it, it might be a little louder though

clstyle

yea,
not even five hp?

anyone

Cseika

you would be lucky if u get an extra 1~2 hp from just replacing the muffler... if catback system is too expensive for you.. then y don't u just have a muffler shop custom bend one for like 170

KC CL 1785

I doubt even that 1-2hp is even going to happen, jsut think, you ahve the same amount of backpressure being let out of a different muffler

clstyle

hey kc can u explain that to me

EPS CL

I think what he means is that if you have more power running through your engine than stock, you will be exhausting more air than stock. The time when you need to replace the exhaust is when the engine is exhausting more air than the exhaust can get rid of.

oh

anyone with a cai/ headers and cat back exaust
on a 2.2 cl

wat does it feel like
power wise?

Cseika

I have a 2.2 with a Header/custom 2.25 pipe/ Hayame Muffler/dropped cat...

car Def feels alot stronger than when it was stock... more torque less HP from my setup...

faster 1/4 time but slower top speed..

if u have a couple hundred to spend.. I highly recommend it! otherwise if u have couple Gs go for H22A or Turbo

Cseika

Oh BTW... with this basic setup.. i can barely beat most 4 cyl out there and barely keep up with a stock V6

hey cseika,

what about if i get a greddy sp cat back,
dc headers
and aem cold air intake

on a 2.2 cl

Cseika

Add.. AEM or UR pulleys

VAFC / Venom 400

you'll be decently fast... I pull on most lightly modded tegs and civics / accords on the road.. You could prob hang with a v6 for a while if u have 5 speed... I have auto so I am still a little slower than most v6...

after
Intake, Catback exhaust, header, Pulleys, VAFC / Venom 400, MSD ignition, 9.3mm ignition wires, Iridium plugs, weight deduction... you'll prob be running mid 16s.. i run consistent mid to high 16's with an auto...

hey guys ive heard the term "Bore" out your original catback. what the heck does that mean and does it help performance wise?

clstyle

great advice cseika,
thats the advice i was looking for!

whats the vafc/vemon 400 for?
