Complete Exhaust Reworked!
Posted: September 17th, 2007, 9:35 am
My little B6 got some new piping last week. Yay?
Genie Headers installed, new flex pipe, new magnaflow hi flow cat (EPA certified. I'm so green!) went 2" pipe to match the headers, and Flowmaster 60 muffler.
Sounded like arse. They tore out the resonator, (forgot they'd have to do that, stupid me) and the pipes rattled like a tin can smoking crack, IF a tin can could smoke crack.
I was so out-honda'ing the honda's, so embarrasing. I didn't want to drive the car. I missed my resonator.
So I ended up getting the Flowmaster Hushpower II (brand loyalty?)
SO very happy with the end results... as far as sound level is concerned. It's quieter than stock manifold, resonator and the flowmaster muffler. Big plus on a daily driver. and no RAT A TATTLE.
Now performance, I tell ya, I do feel a difference!
I feel SLOWER! Heh... f'ed my powerband up, I still have problems finding it again. Maybe too big for my current setup, but as soon as I put a few more ponies on it, I'm sure it'll help out. Or I hope it will help out. Cuzz if it doesn't help, I'm not doing a thing about it.
So Hushpower II + 60 Series = Daily Driver Goodness. I think that's all I wanted to say.
Oh, and the Genie headers I put on... they looked nice... but as soon as you turn the car on, the paint burns off quicker than you can say, "HOLYCRAPMYPAINTBURNEDOFFLOLWTFTHESEHEADERSSUCKARSEIWANTMYMONEYBACK!"
