I've been looking into this...but not sure if I want to do it...

My friend has a 98 Accord and on his exhaust he ran a straight pipe...not catalytic convertor or anything...jst a straight pipe...would there be a big gain in HP? and a large lose in MPG? Cause I'm thinking of getting one, but make it jst a bolt on and off process type or thing..where I can jst bolt on the straight pipe when I want it on vice versa w/ the convertor and how loud do you think the exhaust would actually get. My friends is pretty damn loud. BTW I'm planning to do this w/ a full Comptech Cat-Back exhaust.

i did that 4 my car it gets really loud!

 

Did you notice a big change in your gas mileage? Explain loud...as in Ricey Loud?

 

My friend did it to his Accord v6 too and it's real loud. It's so loud that you can hear him coming down the street about a few blocks away.

 

Don't do it. It will be loud and obnoxious. It won't provide any considerable gains either.

 

haha thanks..I was just looking into it...I dont think I'll do it if its that loud!

BTW:

If ya know any1 interested in sellin or trading their comptech exhaust shoot em over to me:

correct, unless you have FI you will not see any gains... you will actually lose low end torque.

and you will never pass emission (if you have it in your area) when you go for inspection (if you have that in your area too)...
