ef exhaust

[JDMJAYDC2]

guys post up pics of your ef hatch exhausts im looking for one i dont want to do the jdm tilt on the ef so no apexi N1's please i want something quiet that i can still get a ok sound out of post up some ideas for me

[Halfwit]

i have a 3 inch open downpipe, that idea probably doesnt help u much.

[KevinT707]

Then get this Tsudo Exhaust . No JDM tilt

[remoer]

i'm going w/ RS*R ExMag it been the quietest i've found but very expensive and it doesn't hurts your overall performance.

i'm looking to get custom 2 inch exhaust from the cat to the muffler. I have a racing styler muffler so it's all ready loud. The thing was hand made by some guy in his garage... thats what i was told anyway. lol

I dont mean to thread jack, but for a DOHC ZC, 2 inch exhaust and a racing muffler, should i get a "turbo resonator"? i've only heard resonator named by their size... so can sum1 explain if i should need a "turbo resonator" and what makes a turbo one different. I do want my exhaust to be quieter than it is now, but i want it to have a nice deep sound when i get on it.

I have the Tanabe Hyper Medallion on my EF - they do not sell it anymore but they do have a replacement at Tanabe.

Here is a pic of the exhaust I did on my hatch. I have never liked the way you can see the mufflers and piping on the EF's. I cut out the spare tire compartment and boxed it back in to hide the muffler. This car has full 3in mandrel bent with a 4"x9"x18" muffler and 14" resenator. I now have black turndowns for the tips.



I will also post pics of the exhaust on my 4dr EF tomorrow. Later.

I have apexi world sport:



Not too loud under normal driving conditions, and sounds great at wide open throttle

[DrunkScotsman]

mines resembles uproots and am sellin it , lmk if you are interested!

[JDMJAYDC2]

any more examples i like that world sport but i dont want to drop alot for a exhaust for this car the teg is already taking up so much of my money but im def looking for something like that or what charles posted something stock looking

[BABY J]

You usually get what you pay for in exhausts. It's goes through crazy temp extremes - all the weather, mud, and rain. Replacing/patching cheap exhaust parts twice a year is common w/ lower quality stuff. Just get something decent - doesn't have to be titatnium, but get a respected product.

[JDMJAYDC2]

yeah i know i got a true apexi N1 axle back on the teg with high quality pipes from a good muffler shop i know in forest park did a great job had it dont in 01 and not a leak anywhere so im def going back there just need another good exhaust i guess and just wanted to get some examples of some cause all the hatches i see all have the follow the leader N1 replica when i got it for my teg everyone was on the tanabe super and hyper medallion i love the sound of it but damn its loud as shit and i want this car to be kinda quiet almost like a stock 350z or G35 sound omg yeah just like that i love the exhaust sound of those cars

[Papa_Smurf]

^^^ that's quite possibly the worst run on sentence i've ever seen, lol

[BABY J]

LOL. HA HA. Then you will like the Tanabe Touring Medallion - under 93db. Also the Borla stuff is very quiet.

[JDMJAYDC2]

ive heard a few borla exhausts. I'm still trying to pick one

[Papa_Smurf]

Why would you guys spend all that money on a name exhaust w/ a high flow cat (does nothing) when you could get custom piping which is just as good for less?

To me, you're buying a name. You dont gain that much horse power between different exhausts...

[JDMJAYDC2]

i just dont want one that sounds like a lawnmower. and like the saying goes you get what you pay for. what do you have on yours right now zc hatch?

[Papa_Smurf]

I'm about to just get 2 inch custom piping from the cat to the muffler. right now i have nothing but a REALLY nice muffler. lol bought it from a mexican and i guess he didn't feel like he needed to get exhaust...?

I did the motor swap and i've been paying that off for a good long time so i never had the money to get any other upgrades, but the motor is now all paid off so i can finally do other stuff to the car.

So basically, just custom 2 inch exhaust, from the cat to the muffler. getting ti from Paul's Custom Exhaust. He does good work.

[BABY J]

Why not 2.25?

[C_R_X]

I don't think I can be much help because my exhaust is a custom 3in straight pipe to a turbo muffler LOL. Loud as shit.

[Papa_Smurf]

everything i've read tells me that 2 inch is prefect for a D series. ZC

I just want mine to be quieter too, that muffler i have is soooo loud.

[bigdare23]

zc trust me go with 2.25!

[BABY J]

That's why I asked him what size - didn't wanna argue w/ him - lol.

[Papa_Smurf]

why go with 2 1/4? Everything i've read says 2, exhaust guy says 2, you all say 2.25...

throw me sum reasoning as to why i should, not just saying "go 2.25" lol

That shit is allready loud enough, i'm hoping this "turbo resonator" he recommends will quiet it down some...

[Papa_Smurf]

lol that first thread the guy was running 270+ hp...

[BABY J]

You missed the entire point of the threads - bottom line is that 2.25 > 2. LOL. Feel free to do your own research and reach the conclusion that hundreds of others on H-T already have. But at the end of the day - it's your car and as long as you are happy with it go for 2.

[Papa_Smurf]

i mean, how much difference would i see from a stock DOHC ZC motor between 2 and 2.25.... I doubt you could even tell.

[BABY J]

Did you start the thread to get opinions or get people to agree w/ you?

[Papa_Smurf]

I didn't make the thread . lol

[AnTi-PooN]

i cut mine off
