i know we dont have any after market performance parts. so just for fun i was woundering if theres any honda that has the same or maybe almost the same exhaust cat back system, and the way the 94-97 accord is shaped it looks almost the same as the 1st gen 3.2tls, the way the pip curves. the accord catback may be shorter but cuting and adding pips is no big deal. so im going to look more into this and see. let ur guys know.. as far for the struts tower bar, the 95 legend fits just fine.

I would assume the 2.5 = Vigor and 3.2 = RL/Legend

I doubt the Accord would be close since the engines are mounted completely differently.

longeye23s

yea thats true but the way the catback looks and buying a aftermarket like greddy or hks cat system that fit a accord and the way the pip is design may work, dont get me wrong i still have to look more to it but it might work, and yea u might need to cut and add cut u will get true air flow witch i need since im starting on my turbo project..

Ken1997TL

I'm sure the pipe bends/angles are different since the Accord body is a different length and width. The fuel tanks are different from ours and the suspension is as well.

Would be really nice if they were the same, we'd have a lot more parts to choose from

Your dream can come true... buy a VW

Mizouse

yea for one thing the way our engine is mounted and 5 cylinder vs 4, and in terms of the V6 again mounted differently

the new jettas engine isnt even as great as the 2.5s like the 2.5 has like ~180hp and the jetta is like 150... what about the H3 isnt that an inline 5 suv?

Ken1997TL

Yes, GM has an inline 5, its a 3.5 liter motor with 220 hp and 225 pounds of torque.

Now I know what you're thinking, but good luck hooking up our transmissions to that thing Not to mention getting the power sent to the front wheels.

ur right it does not work..

who the phuq bought the GAB tower bar for the 2.5?? I know somebody on this board has one. There is more than one in the US and I remember neo sold one..

longeye23s

they only made them for the 2.5 or they have them for 3.2 too? gab they used to make them tower bars right? i woulder why they stop making them. maybe if we all get togather and order a bunch they will make some more.

Ken1997TL

I'm pretty sure GAB did the 2.5 and KMS(?) did the Legend/3.2 TL

longeye23s

ok im going to another reserch on that and see what i can find, wish me luck

Speaking of exhaust, I got a question.
Suppose I mod and put 2 mufflers on the TL.
Would that be equivalent or better than getting a bigger header or exhaust manifold or exhaust pipes?

mblackmarr

It depends are you going to go with two seperate exhaust pipes from each manifold, if you dont and just cut into the existing exhaust pipe and weld in another pipe and muffler the exhaust will just take the path of least resistance because it is kinetic energy. so you will have to put two seperat pipes from each manifold or put a Y shaped spliter right after the catylatic converter and make sur that the two pipes comping off it are identical so that there will be the exact same amount of resistance on each side. And the same mufflers on bothsides. Look Closley at cars in the winter time that have duel exhaust. most of the time if it is not done right the white steam will only be coming out of one side of the exhaust. Now you don't want to be that guy with the non-functioning shit on his car that supposed to be functioning

TLBaller

GAB never stopped making the bars for the 2.5. Its just that they're only available in japan and its hard to find a place/person who can import it to us.

cambo

it still won't be the equivlent of larger piping.

mblackmarr

If you have two individual exhaust pipes from each manifold it will be better, because stock we have x amount of exhaust traveling down a 2.5 in diameter pipe. Now if you take two pipes that are 2.5 inches in diameter one for each exhaust manifold you will now have twice as much pipe for exhaust, and the amount of exhaust will decrease by by half so you will have twince as much pipe for 1/2 the exhaust. x/2(2.5) if I am right. It is pretty much simple Physics

Oh and if you go with the Y pipe you are still creating more area for the exhaust so twice as much area equals less resistance

turbo all the way baby! i already bought welbo fual pump, 28x6x3 spearco intercooler and greddy rs type blowoff valve, im still need alot parts.
