If your on a tight budget and just looking for that ricer sound, just go buy a FART CAN from autozone..
Your not going to get 8-15hp from a $250 exhaust system.

 

Any EK exhaust will fit doesnt matter what motor you have in it unless its a K-series

And no exhaust will gain 8-15hp on a stock honda, maybe if you get a badass header

 

not true at all.

the stock D16Y7s all have the cat in the header, and where it meets up with the B-pipe is a welded flange, at a certain angle.

the header for a B-series ( i know its at least B18C and B18B, might be the B16A as well) is not only about two inches too short, but also the flange is off by 90 degrees. i just had this problem.

some aftermarket exhausts, like the tanabe SRM is a little long, and has a non-welded flange, so you can line it up if need be... but anything with a welded flange for the EK hatch will NOT work.

oh, but you are def right about the 8-15 hp, its not gonna happen.

 

when i had my old car i went to huff muffler in plant city i paid 180 for 2.25 pipin from the cat back and supplied the muffler. the car sounded great no rattling and and it looked damn good.

 

even if you were to use a test pipe and aftermarket header?

 

i made a mistake.

i thought he had a GSR EK hatch, but he just has a GSR EK.

on the hatchbacks what i said is true, and i would imagine it applies to the DX/LX coupes/sedans as well (with the header/cat combo crap)

if you are talking about the HX/EX/Si coupes/sedans, where they have a full length regular header and an under-cabin catalyst, then you may be right.

sorry for the mix-up.

 

no I think he does have a hatch, im just curious cause I've never heard of anyone having this problem before

 

i just bought a stock hatch exhaust for my EK, and with the B18B and its header (aftermarket) the stocker was 2 inches short and the flange was off by 90 degrees.

if i got a freak header or something, then i could be wrong, but this is how mine worked out....

 

it is a hatch.sorry for the confusion.but it currently has the single cam piping and once the rpms hit around 3700 it starts to rattle like hell.so I'm just waiting till I build the engine/turbo it to get the exaust since I'm going to need a new one then anyways.no point imo in paying for 2 exaust systems.

 

i just checked to see what size my pipes where the other day while installing my new sound system , and i noticed the piping that i have on their now is 2.25 size piping, and i was thinkin would it still be about the same effect if i was just too get a muffler..??

Maybe then i can get a Apexi or greddy muffler...
