i was goin to do 2.5 from cat back with magnaflow, but now hearing everyone i was thinking of doing from header back 2.5 with hi flow cat and magnaflow muffler. alot of people are saying ours 2.25 is fine, but i'm still a lil hesitant about that.

 

2.25" is fine, unless you're going turbo. Just replace the downpipe.

 

Agreed. There is little to no gain by switching for a NA RA. It is to bad though about the CEL prob (if you want to call it that) with the down pipe. If it wasnt for the CEL, I would be interested in one. Hopfully they will figure out a fix to prevent the CEL.

 

Another agree here, there really is no need to get any bigger than 2.25. On my old eclipse i upgraded to a full 2.5 inch from a 2.18 inch and I didnt recognize a thing as far as power.

 

Somebody will figure this problem out, just that at this point, nobody has bothered to tackle the problem. The base Lancer guys have a way to trick the ECU into thinking that the cat is there.

I wonder if there's an O2 simulator that would work with our car. Do we have the same O2 sensors as the base lancers?

 

i used to have the stock 2.25 piping then i changed it to a 2.5 inch with no resonator..pretty damn loud..im gonna get my old muffler replaced with the Apex N1 muffler.

 

really. did you feel any difference. post some pics of the n1 for me too if you can.

 

with the 02 simulator you are still polluting =)

Thanks

this is my old muffler..i had it angled..im ordering the APEX n1 muffler next week.


this is the 2.5 inch custom pipe with no resonator..i had the resonator installed after i took this pic bcuz im installing my downpipe tonite..i was driving the car without the resonator for about 3 months..it was pretty loud.

 

Hey man...Can you show some pixes of your down pipe installed too??? Also, let me know how it turns out....

 

ill be making a header bakc bolt on system for this car within this month and itll cost around 750.00 canadian so like 600 ish for you US guys. and itll be 2.5" and include a high flow cat etc

Thanks
Tory

 

TTT...how's the project coming along Tory?

 

Was it Bass type loud or weedwacker honda loud.

 

it was bass type loud..not weed wacker..the only thing is when having no resonator is that when the car is not warmed up yet and your driving around..you'll hear a ringing vibration sound in the exhaust (muffler shop said it'll do that)..but once the engine is warmed up it goes away..
