IF you going to do it, find one made by Greddy, very good quality.

Greddy or other brands didn't make any manifolds intake or exhaust for any TL\inspire\saber older than 2000. So, custom only. Somebody here intalled turbo on UA2 (can't find link now ) - maybe his experience will help you. And, bigwerm, what do you think you get from custom exhaust manifold?

Got this from Japanese yahoo auction:



description was: "for inspire/saber UA2" now dont know what to do with it. Nothing simular at all with stock

greddy makes an exhaust mainfold for the 2.5 TL..?????? yeah mine is cracked and i have a vigor one. so idk if i should put the vigor on there of just get mine welded... also in the 2.5 the cat is welded on the stock mainfold and on the vigor one is donesnt have one welded on there.

bigwerm187

well the stock manifold on the 2.5 TL has a cat welded on there. and the one i got of the vigor doenst have a cat welded on there. and both manifolds are the same jus a little differance in lenght but one has a cat an the othe one doenst. i was thinkin of puting in the vigor one on there so then i can get rid of the cats but what do u t hink is going to happen if i do that...? and that pix thats on there wat u get that pipeing from...? what does that go on..?

Well the bigest problem will be with second oxygen sensor, installed in your cat. You cannt just remove it - chek engine will lights on and your car woudnt function normaly. I guess, that if you install this sensor inside common pipe instead cat, its will not work adequate too. May be solution will be in mounting smth more sporty in place of your cat. I saw proper magnaflow's cats on summitracing.com. So over cat you can use any pipes you want, but it will be better to know how it influence on power behaviour of your car. For example, straight pipe after cat without any resonators and mufflers will reduce power on low RPMs but also reduce time of running up to 7200 RPM. Using auto tranny with such mods is not so sweet - you will be last one how started on green light and dont forget about SOUND. Thats somthing - I drive my inspire without anything except manifold - ominous roar that makes nearest windows clinks. My neighbours will kill me next time I appear in that role.

Japaneese inspire\saber\vigor and so on have another fuel management with 1 oxygen sensor in manifold and overheating sensor (is not so important as oxygen sens) in cat, so we can smoothly remove cats without any serious mods.

yeah i see what u mean i dont want my car to be loud at all i just want it to sound really good.. but i just might leave the cats on there so yeah..

Inspired[RUS]

~13.8 sec on quatermile drag. Smth about less than 6 sec up to 60 m\h.

ooo yeah so u think u can still hear the blow off valve on that turbo..?

Just saw this thread, but if you just wanted your 2.5 exhaust manifold fixed take it to an Acura dealer and they will replace it for free under extended emmisions warranty. I did mine and the cost was $0 for a $1500 job. Dealer also dropped me off at work and picked me up when the car was done. I believe the warranty was up to 150,000 mi. and 14 yrs from production date.

bigwerm187

Really thats crazy...! i didnt noe that... what if u take it to a honda dealer ship..? yeah thanx for the idea that wouldnt work cuz my car got 215,000 miles on it so am over the mileage limit..! am doing it my self and am almost done i havent spent that much tho... ive spent like around 200 bucks total..! i wixh my car had less miles then i would of done that...! thanx for the idea tho.....! do you noe were you can find out for sure what the mileage is on the warrenty thing..?

monkeybutt

It is discussed here: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...light=warranty Even if you are out of the warranty mileage you might give Acura a call and see if they could make you some kind of deal.

bigwerm187

so it has to be an acura dealership right..? cuz there isnt a acura dealership around here. we got dealerships here but no acura dealership tho... we got a honda dealership.. will that work..?

mad brad

if its a 96 it is out my car is got the same problem ran out in oct 2010 good luck im welding mine bd
