Looks good, by the way, what kind of strut bar is that, and where did u get it from?

 

ebay.

98-02 accord strut bar.

 

looks nice, how much? hows the sound? what are the model #'s? thanks

 

oh man, you make me so jealous!!!

Can you post all the part numbers for the exhaust, I plan to do this in the spring time.

Thanks...

 

14115 resonator
14829 mufflers.

it sounds really tough...like a v8...
i'm happy with it..

now to get those headers!...

 

does it sound good through all driving situations... I mean I dont want any backfire/ricey sound ever. I would rather stay stock than have some occational ghetto sounds.

 

yes it sounds good thru all power ranges.

it is a low rumble at low rpms...get a little louder at like 2k to 3k..then it gets quiet again.

i will post sound clips...just need to get video capture setup working again.

 

Man those mufflers are huge. Did you redo the entire system?

 

from the catback.
2.25 inch piping..

ya know....if you look at other cars on the road...there are many with big
fat mufflers..OEM!...it's just they are painted black and u don't see them.

these magnaflows are only 1/2 inch bigger in diameter than OEM...i measured.

so whatever.

 

That's cool dood. I think I forgot to add the word "tip" when I asked you the question though. Does the setup use all mandrel bend pipings?

 

yes...u can see in the pics.

at the bends...the bends are smooth.

 

Did you even use the Y-pipe at all, Joseph??

Looks great. I kind of wussed out last time there was a talk of the Magnaflow, but I've finally made up my mind and I'm getting it this week.

You have the 14" resonator, right? And it sounds good you said? If that's the case, I'll probably go with 18" instead of the 22". I don't want it too loud.

 

actually it doesnt look like mandrel bends. the pipe is smaller dia and doesnt sta uniform in size thru the bends.on the inside of the pipe

 

lookin really nice

just ordered 18" resonator today, #10426...should be here by thursday, I'll let u know how it sounds joseph

 

DO NOT GET MAGNAFLOWS W/O RESONATOR...if u want, keep stock one on, I'd suggest get a magnaflow one as i just ordered.

i currently have magnaflows w/ no resonators and it sounds ricey civic loud, can't wait for resonator to come in

 

looks pretty nice!

the only things i dont like is the angle of the mufflers ( / \ view from top ) and also the fact that you can see the hangers..


good work

 

neone kno how to put up videos online? maybe i can give u an example of magnaflows w/o resonator

 

You're right.

 

I thought 18" resonator was 10425. Is 10426 the stainless steel one?? If so, I'm getting that instead of the 10425 aluminized steel one.

 

Never mind. 10426 is 2.5" in/out, and 10425 is 2.25" in/out.

I'm keeping the stock 2.25" piping size, so I'm getting 10425.

 

yea...i had to go to work when i left the car with the guy..
i would have insisted on a few minor differences.

i also would have gone with round body mufflers.

but hopefully someone can learn from this install and do it better...biatches!.


i can always get it changed..
but to tell u the truth...the hangars are hard to see.
i can paint them black.

the 7 inch tip is not long enough..
if you look at the pics...the guy got them as close as he could.

as far as the angle...at first i didn't like it...now i do...

besides..it's not a show car.

and i got a little bump inpower...i can feel it.

and Kris...your right it is not mandrel bent but it better than the 'crimped bending. that i've seen.

and look...i didn't have a fortune to spend on an exhaust.
and..it's only a tl-p...

go easy on her....

 

didn't use the y pipe.
the guy made the y pipe.


the 14' resonator is not enough.

the 18" might be just right.

BIGMAN had a 22".

doa search....he posted sound clips.

i will post sound clips soon..

 

if u email them to me...i'llpost them for you.

longoj@optonline.net

without a resonator!...that must be loud.

send them.

i'll post for you.

 

that's why i cut the plastic so the guy could install the mufflers further back

oh btw mine is not really mandrel bent either.. but i dont think it would make a difference.. on a turbo car maybe but on a N/A car like the TL.. i dont think so..

 

r u sure? i thought he had an 18"...o well, cant wait to get mine.

 

yea i'll c wut i can do...i'll try 2morrow...btw, is that the M3/M5 spoiler on ur trunk? looks really good, i want that spoiler
