    And at 6-7,000 RPMS, she starts pulling like a beast... But you guys wouldn't know anything about that.. ;) haha

    Lol, Im familiar with that. From 6500 to 9500 the Jun stage 3's sing thier magic song, and its a song I love and cherish. The vtec cars arent the fastest, but theirs something about 9500rpms that I love. Plus doing a whole autox course in first gear is awesome.

    Im going to have to look into these mufflers. Id love to not need a resonator for my exhaust. It would gain me some ground clearance.

  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    on to pics..

    WARNING!! ghetto fab.... hence the clamps and wires hahaha. its all temp. till i get my hands on a welder (the one i usually used is broken) anywho...

    location of the tip....

    tip angle ($9 from Advance.. lolz)

    underside shots showing the fitment..

    417.jpg

    i used one 18" piece of flex tubing, and 2 90 degree bends coming out of the straight pipe.

    418.jpg

    i reused the same tailpipe from my old muffler, and a couple extra bits of pipe to connect everything together hhaha.

    419.jpg

    so, thats it. i will be painting the piping too soon flat black cause i dont like shiny piping all that much. with this setup there is no vibration, bending, knocking, clanging of any sorts.

    and suprisingly, no air leaks :mrgreen:

    Nice thanks for the pix. Defiantly keep that in mind. 2.5 exhaust on the d-wagon as soon as kit is installed.

    On a side note, do all the fwd wagons have that rear crossmember, or was your awd at one point?
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    they all have that rear crossmember. the 2WDs were pre-fabbed for 4WD, which is always awesome ;) haha

    lol that is ghetto fabulous! oh well still sick none the less. it will for sure be way better once its all welded up.
  • lol, you need to get a sound/video clip up! (hahahaha after you get back from the yard that is :wink: )

    very clean! i may have to invest in this.
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    well i finished up the install on yesterday... basically, i straightened out the muffler so now it sits level, painted the piping and also sealed everything up with liquid gasket, and its working very well ;)

    all i need to do now is get some real hangers installed and im good... at least till i get a sexy dual exhaust tip

    martin, by the time you get a video clip, half the "older" members are going to be senile. c'mon! :wink:
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    *yawn* im just hot and lazyyyy
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    alrighty, i finally got that blasted clip i promised. i have never made an in-car video before, so excuse the n00bness.

    that rattling sound is a mystery, i think its the bungee cord rattling on the camera that i used to strap it to the headrest :mrgreen: so um, its not like anything is coming/rattling apart in my car, haha.

    also at 0:42, thats my idiot neighbor stopping in the middle of the road to "chat" with another car stopped in the middle of the road. they acted like i wasnt there. anyways. :roll: also, first half of video is with the windows down. second half with them up

    hope you enjoy.

    Nice! If/when my muffler someday rusts out I totally have to replace it with one of these. Love the sound! And I expected it to sound like the typical bumblebee on crack ricer Civic... :lol: :lol:
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    dude, thats whats up Kahuna!! it'd be a bit nicer if you could angle it at your tach next time around. imma try to make a better video tomorrow 8)
