hey guys im thinking about running 2.5in pipings all the back to the stock mufflers, by this i mean running a straight pipe from each bank, eliminating the j pipe, cat, mid muffler n resonator..

what do you guys think?
i got this idea after eliminating my mid muffler n resonator, the car sounds pretty good but now i came across a factory cat back from a 2010 camaro ss which has 2.5 piping and it seems it will fit with minimal mods. i would just have to add a pipe from each bank eliminating the j pipe

 

Try it and post pics!

 

Bump!

I need some feedback!!!

 

Why do you depend on us for an idea that you had???
I suggest you learn about exhaust and how exhaust gasses flow.
after you've done your hw, and know that it will work, try it out.

Be the first. you'll be a pioneer. everyone in the acura community will look up to you.

 

Just what I needed to hear. I will work on getting this done n will post pic n video.

 

I would knock it down to 2.25" where you split to the 2 mufflers. 2x 2.25" is going to be more flow than the single 2.5" going in. 2x 2.5" is going to be a lot more than you need and could impact the performance.

 

That's what I'm afraid of. But as I mentioned before I already have a stainless steel cat back from a camaro that is 2.5in.

 

Try it!! It would be better to run dual 2.25" for a true dual exhaust for our purposes, but honestly 2.5" will work. It will be pushing out a LOT of air though, more than you could take in without extensive mods. I'm really not sure of gains/losses, but your top end power will be really strong.

Make sure you do an X or H pipe tho!!! Else it will sound like sh!t.

 

the only mod i have is a cai with a k&n filter which gave me some very noticeable gains... im basically looking for top end power since i only do pulls in the freeway with this car whenever someone pulls next to me...

the cat back from the camaro has an H pipe already... i might throw in some dynomax resonators too....

 

im interested to see how this goes. Ive had the same ideas to do something similar but dont need it to sound terrible though. im down for pics and vid also. pics of the install would be nice. do it! haha

 

LOL... i dont have a welder so im waiting for my friend to let me know when his boss doesnt come in to work so we can do it at his job... this will also give me a reason to use my new camera lol...

 

i just measured the catback from the camaro and it is actually 2 3/8 exactly! now im even more pumped to do this....
