i have this same exhaust on my civic :) but the one thing i dont get is how on some hondas it has a deep nice sound but on some it sounds like bee's on steriods
because some people are smart and get BIG pipe.. like 2.25 or 2.5 in BEFORE the cat and after the header... and also if the header is a good one.. like megan or DCS. then it will sound better.. by that i mean deeper, as well. in coordinance with that, if it is all change at the ame time and all has the same carbon build up on the inside, it will sound deep, and the tone is fantastic, but thats only if you do it right. most ppl just throw the muffler on and thats where it gets high and raspy.
As mentionned by sskdp06. It's the difference between motors in terms of engine capacity. And Drewburney is wrong. Bigger is not necessarily better. You have to match it to your engine power/displacement. Rally cars only use 2" piping and that allows enough back pressure for optimum tuning. Too big an exhaust will kill your bottom end and sound bloody awful. I'm putting a 2.5" on a 3 litre twin cam straight 6. Should be plenty big enough. In fact I was going to stick to 2" but got the 2.5 cheap!
Oh one more thing. I have the OEM rear lip...do you think it'd be in danger of melting with this exhaust? I've seen other exhausts melt rear lips before, so it's something I'd like to find out. Thanks.
Since I filmed this I have changed to the OEM rear lip (or Motegi lip as we call it over here in the UK), which is much lower than the stock lip and I haven't had any heat issues at all. I adjusted the rear hanger a little though so the exhaust tip clearer the plastic a little more (as it was a bit to close).
i love the deep sound of the hyper medallion. I was thinkin of getting this exhaust for my Teg but i got the apexi ws2 instead. Their both very simlar, quiet at low rpm n a beast at high rpm. Either way their both great exhausts.
thas whas up i was lookin to get my Tanabe for a while and now after hearing it i'm definitely goin for it jus waiting for my taxes...i already have my AEM V2 intake and DC Stainless steel headers so can't wait to hear it...
iv got one those on my accord with a 2 1/4" piping from the cat, sound great but have noticed it getting gradualy louder over the passed 2odd years... cost me $1100nz
i have one of those on my 98 accord with a 2 1/4 piping from the cat, sounds great but have noticed it gradualy getting louder over the last 2 years... best set up for a honda i recon tho
I want! How much did u pay, and where did u get it from? I notice ur UK (RHD, and Yellow rear number plate), same as me, I got a 99 VTEC red top manual, so I wanna let the beast roar a bit ;)
At What time did you record this? the smoke cannot be related to the exhaust. Must be the cold outside right? hopefully it is becuase i really wanted this exhaust. plz reply burdonite lol
Damn that sound hella nice!!!
