Exospeed race header and ss auto chrome test pipe
Custom exhaust will be made soon, and I have a twin loop muffler to top it
all of...me excited
some holiday gifts for my baby ;)
newyorker
I thought you already had a "custom" exhaust fitted? :hi:
I am also a tad confused, why are you still adding bits to a car you want
rid of?
Cliffy
its too bad stock honda exhaust manifolds perform almost exactly as good as
usual aftermarket ones, but you'll probably notice a slight power
change
along with a change in sound
merry christmas...
nighthawk
I thought your next mod was the new engine...
Mathew
No, the next thing he'll be trying to figure out why it keeps throwing cat
efficiency codes, so his next "mod" will be a piece of black electrical
tape to cover the MIL. Dumbass.
vwhobo
This is just to keep me entertained while other bigger things await
execution. Also snagged some 2.25 diameter piping for my car...already with
hangers nad everything just need muffler welded on il have pix of it all
tomorrow in my driveway
newyorker
That doesn't fit on the K20A, does it?
Also, is this a twin-loop muffler?

What's the point of that?
chris_knows
Il be able to use the exhaust for the k20 just not the header and test pipe
but it can be modded to fit. twin loop mufflers
exhaust gas goes through twice
A. quieter cause it...goes through twice
B. dont lose as much backpressure compared to an N1 muffler
C. JDM lol
It was originally developed by Mugen and is now being replicated by
Netami(as you pictured), OBX (what i have) and others...mugen twin loop
muffler is ~500 dollars for authentic, OBX is 95 new...I got mine for
nothing
newyorker
The guy who sold me this showed me dyno sheets from before and after he
knew the guy at the stop and they did it for fun
Stock-94whp
Exhaust-103whp
103whp is low to say the least, but a gain of almost 10%whp will be
noticable, and if i decide to get an intake on there again, that should be
good for another 3-4whp
Also, I am ordering Sparco Grip pedals. Since the pedal assembly on my
civic and RSX is the same Il be able to use them with the swap, so another
little treat
newyorker
Why buy more parts to hold you over until the swap when you could buy the
pieces that are needed for that swap? A 10% horsepower gain isn't really
gonna do much either. It may be noticeable but not much.
Spanky2324
Considering that it all cost me 75 dollars combined, I think its a great
deal. Il be able to reuse the exhaust piping for the K swap althoug it will
have to be cut a bit cause the K20 has the header in the back of the motor
unlike my car having it in the front. Either way for 75 for a full exhaust
you cant beat that deal. Hell I can resell the header the test pipe for 2x
that ammount when I get done using them

Alright here goes....

you may notice in the garage a pipe and second muffler. the exhaust is
designed for dual canisters (you will see in future pix). I have no intent
for running duals, so the axleback will be cut before the pipe split, and
the muffler to the left of the system in the driveway (twin loop) will be
put on

get head-er. HP racing makes a single piece header just like this. The only
difference is that its chrome finished, this one is ceramic coated

2.25 inch mid pipe

rear section...right before that little fork is for the second muffler, its
gona get cut off and extended as needed for the twin loop

Twin loop
newyorker
This "twin loop" boggles my mid. How exactly does more curves decrease
backpressure?
giant016
no no it retains backpressure you dont lose it like you would with an N1
muffler
newyorker
Two questions:
-Why would you want backpressure (genuinely curious, because I always
thought it was better to let all of the exhaust gases out).
-Why couldn't a standard muffler create backpressure just by making the
pipe thinner or something?
Shouldn't it be called just a "loop muffler", since there is only one loop?
chris_knows
1. backpressure is an essential part of N/A motors. put a 3 inch exhaust on
my car now, it will be slower. Put a 3 inch exhaust on my car WITH a turbo
kit, and it will be fine. All of the gasses will still get out.
2. well for one I know a few guys that have full exhaust systems with N1
mufflers. when they run them open, the cars sometimes feel kinda sluggish.
when they put the silencers in, the cars feel more peppy and responsive
I think its called a twin loop cause exhaust gas goes through the muffler
TWICE
here you go chris, some info
Backpressure
Backpressure is basically some sort of restriction on the air
volume/exhaust coming out. A good exhaust system has the right amount of
backpressure. Imagine if nobody ran an exhaust system- everyone’s car would
be super loud and also yield more performance right? Wrong- they would
actually loose power due to no back pressure- that’s why exhausts are
important tricky little bastards.
With more backpressure, you’ll have better bottom end (this means you’ll be
able to accelerate better at low RPM’s). More bottom end is best if your
staying away from the track and the strip and not driving like an idiot, or
if you just want good fuel efficiency why driving in the city driving.
With less backpressure you sacrifice bottom end for top end power. This is
best if your on the track most of the time. This is best if your on the
track most of the time and need power at high RPM’s.

you really said a lot while saying nothing there...
time to change your sig...:banghead:
dodger65
Hows that...wait I know it makes it easier for you to talk shit, scumbag
newyorker
