no more exhaust
i am putting my stock exhaust back on hopefully thursday when i have time. Its the whole stock piping. Reason is that 1) i am tired of having exhausts on my car for last 5 yrs. ( this car and my last car)The sound just gets boring sometimes. and 2) i kinda like that sleeper look since i get picked on by other cars because they see mt exhaust. I took my stock exhaust and painted the mufffler high temp flat black paint and it looks good to me. Nice and clean. Kinda like the newer acuras.
So my question is: since i am putting my stock exhaust back on do u think i will notice a lot of power loss? I havent really had stock exhausts on my car for a while and i cant remember the improvement of the aftermarket over the stock. Im thinking it shouldnt be so bad. I shouldnt notice it. What u guys think? Maybe i should just leave the mid section and bolt the stock rear muffler on.
gimme some feedback

Your gonna lose mad top end. It increased my top speed by 15+ mph (still haven't "maxed" out yet)...Plus without it, I think you'll notice less pull at higher revs. But then again, I got a 3.0. So not sure if this effect applies to the 2.3.

Ill change it and definately let you guys know what happens.
If i sell it ill prob just chop the muffler off since the piping is not all that great of shape. Its been repaired a few times after bents and scratches comming off steep curbs and hiting objects on the street. It IS 2 years old. The muffer is in decent shape. Its a trust/greddy. It has scratches at the bottom where the logo is but u can't see it when its installed. Still shines and has the hangers that will fit perfectly. REally nice sound. Its not to loud and is deep and smooth. One of the best sounding exhausts IMO. Better than tanabe which i had before. PM if interested and Ill let u know if im gonna sell it.
