That exhaust is going to be LOUD

[V1GiLaNtE]

That turndown looks even better in the pictures!

[Kaan]

its a 2.5 inch "you weld it" system from Mandrel Exhaust Systems, 2.5 inch Magnaflow high flow cat, 18 inch Magnaflow resonator, and a Dynatech muffler.... its pretty loud but I don't think you can get 2.5 inches and 4 cylinders to be quiet.

Progress is looking good!! Maybe one of these times Cabell comes to visit, I can head down with him and lend a hand.

[Kaan]

Cabell wanted me to get one of those DC sport twin tips from autozone to throw on there for the pictures lol.

[Goodspeed]

Not good enough...

[Kaan]

don't post premade shit in here!

we guessed at the turn down and hacked at it with a sawzall

[V1GiLaNtE]

There were a lot of chalkboard preliminary designs mocked up...all very high tech.

it still didn't come out like the chalk board showed!

I have video... its annoyingly loud lol

[.RJ]

See if you can get another bullet-style muffler in line with the exhaust.

[Kaan]

I'm not sure there is space. maybe an 8 inch or so section I can add to. I could "remove" the cat and add one there, but I figured the cat would help keep it quiet.

nicely done Kaan. i'm a believer!

please keep the cat on there. if not for volume, to keep it from sounding like complete ass.

Impossibru.

in my recent RJ internet stalking... you have been doing the Kim Jung Un thing a lot... are you feeling okay?

I mean... 2.5 inches is technically "too big" for this B18b, so I figured in the stock location, with a cat, etc... I'd keep some back pressure. there is still a lot of buzz but you can only dress up a 4 cylinder so much. I cant imagine what it would sound like without a cat or the resonator.

you can see in this picture, where the pipe kicks to the passenger side, that's the only straight pipe without a resonator/muffler left in the whole system.

A turbah would quiet things down nicely, just sayin'

Man, this is progressing quickly! Great work. Looks good!

[.RJ]

2.5" isnt too large, IMO.

As long as you have time, a pile of parts you've collected over the last decade, and spare money for all the stuff you break... anyone can move this quickly (or faster).

2.5" isnt too large, IMO.

when you read the internet and exhaust theory, 2.5 inches can support a TON of hp. but it seems 4 cylinder cars defy all the normal "rules." But then you could spend a couple of days reading all the icy hot stunna forums and they "love" around 1 7/8 inch exhausts and "there is no need" for bigger. Even on RRAX 2-2.25 inches is where they are running vtec powered cars.

This doesn't matter in the long run. 2.5 inches is the basic K motor exhaust size. it should allow me to hit the power number I'm looking for when I crack that engine open. If and when the car ever makes it to trailer queen/track only status i'll probably look at running a 3 inch system for the K motor. but 2.5 should get me most of the way there :thumbup:
