loud

['A20A3']

Well my old rusted exhaust finally fell off yesterday. Broke off right at the cat so I had to resupport the cat and whatnot, but needless to say it sounds like a beast now. It roars. :D It pulls alot harder now, and it idles smoother now too. So it's just the header to the flexpipe to the cat. Word. :cool:

TIGHT! lol!

wow sick! i took my exhaust off from the cat once, it sounded awsome, sooo damn loud! but hey, i bent the shit out of my flexpipe is that goin to be a problem? i can here a slight raddling at 1500 rpm.

[T-Funk]

yeah mine broke off just after the cat too, so friggen loud and i notice a slight increase in power

[Blue Impact]

Maybe I should go break mine too cuz I feel the need for a little speed. LOL

[my86dx4dr]

mine fell off too......lol but farther up, and right where it broke it was at a bend, so now the whole pipe aims at a corner of the fuel tank.... needless to say, the tank is turning black, should i be scared? SOUNDS SWEET THO! (from inside)

Just hope your car doesn't backfire and your gas tank doesn't leak. :ugh:

I just put a test pipe in there. I only noticed pull in the 40-60 mph range though. I do like the sound though.

just make sure you don't have to sit in traffic for long periods of time, carbon monoxide poisoning is a real bitch

When I first bough the hatch mine fell off on the way home from a failed inspection :D

[i.c.]

inspection....lol.... around here as long as it runs and has at least one working light it's a-ok

[cvergi01]

I'm on my 7th car in 5 years and never gone to emmissions, don't think I ever will either

I didn't have to pass emmissions but a leaky exhaust will fail you regardless.

Man its just downright sad, I see trucks without doors, a LXi without a front end, muscle cars with no hoods, its sweet.

[i.c.]

lol...i see cars all the time with no hood.....doors? who needs them when you got a brand new gunrack!

omg my flexpipe broke in 2 so i have a cut up tin can holding it together (works pretty good) and a solid welded dogbone mount on the top of the engine... Damn this car is loud... with the solid mount it resonates thru the car like somthing unimaginable

[88accordhb]

my flexpipe got the shit bent out of it, it's about to go. hehehehe

I don't see why you guys like the loud ass exhaust. I cut my exhaust off right before the cat, and it sounded horrible. I hated the farting sound and it sounded like a diesel truck when it idled. I fixed it after driving it with the loud ass exhaust for 2 months because I got a cd player. I couldn't even talk in my car while driving it was so loud. I did notice an increase in power, and a decrease when I put the exhaust back on.

hack off the cat put a freeflow cat on it and a 2.25" pipe straight back with and open ended muffler. You'll keep the power but you'll be legal for the most part.

i felt a power loss because i lost soo much backpressure when the dowpipe broke in 2, i hate it when the car is loud. Running with the stock muffler removed provided a very nice gain tho.

why would you hack it off? you can just unbolt the rusted bolts and take it off? wat a waste of a good cat, plus the hi-flows cats wont garauntee that you'll pass emission, less you don't have it then...well you know.

Usually most of the people that have cats on their accords are still the OEM ones. Alot of times the bolts wont come loose or you strip the nuts trying to get them off. I had a hell of a time getting mine off my old Accord. I had to hack it off with a pipe cutter (it's to tight to get a hacksaw under there and I didn't have access to a reciprocating saw or cutting torch.) to swap the cat for a freee fow one. Honestly I dont know if your car will pass emmissions with a free flow cat. Here in PA, if the car is older than 1992 it doesn't test for emissions, just a visual inspection to see that all the parts are there (cat, piping muffler etc). If you can find an o2 cheater to fit your Accord's O2 sensors to work conjunctivly with the CEL that comes on when you install a free flow cat, then you should have no issue what so ever with emissions passing.
