Dc Sports Exhaust!! For 86-89 Accord!!

here's the deal.. talked to DC sports and i can get the exhaust done. they were bitching about it.. but my friend talked them into it. basically they have the diagram and platform still there. they jus dont market it. so now they're willing to sell to my friend.

SO EVERYONE IS ASKING HOW MUCH!?!?

$560 shipped!

only problem is.. it takes about 2 weeks to make it. those who want it.. please leave a post u want it and ill collect names. again ill be taking orders for a week. so u all have a week to decide whether u want one or not. i myself will be getting one also.

*note* this is not the dual canister so please do not ask me for a dual canister becuz ive already asked and they flat out said NO! sorry i do not have a pic of the exhaust on the car, so please do not ask for pics. otherwise, go to DC sports web page. thanks

:bow: jon

why are you going to spend $560 for DC sports exhaust?
you can get Dc sports universal muffler and take it to the shop.
they should make custom made exhaust for you for alot cheaper.

but this thing is.. STAINLESS STEEL and MANDREL BENT. being madrel bent means better flow for ur muffler and that means smoother sound. this may be a one time deal for sure becuz i dont know if i can get them to continue distributing it.

I tried and tried to talk them into it before and flat out said no and even with 10 people they said it was not worth their time to produce so few of them. If you can PM me when you know for sure if they will do it i would appreciate it cause its a nice system and i may take one if they are serious.

Well Jon, I know I want one, only problem is my pocket is currently 100% empty.

Only other question is, are these systems for Coupes, Hatchs, or Sedans? If I'm not mistaken, all 3 have different exhausts.

I don't think they're different...the pacesetter catback is a one-size-fits-all for a three body styles (at least I think so) which would leave me to believe there is no difference.

Alex

absolutely right 86accord.. one size... fits all

dude you have been busy havent you:D

yeeea... jus tryin to help u guys out and make things more easier for 3geez.

hey whats the size of the pipe?

Well U know I am down!! great addition to my Dc header!! oh!!!

2 1/4 inch piping.. all stainless steal.

dont worry mike.. i got u down for one already. unless u want urs with this shipment too or if u want it later.. let me know

when are u buying urs? and when exactly is the next shippent? Just want to calculate a budget plan..

yes do calculate mike.. cuz i am doing mine too haha! i dont know when exactly the shipment is.. i guess as soon as i get all the money order first. but when this happens, i need everyones patience cuz the more the order.. the longer it may take for them to make it. ill find out more tomorrow from DC.

2 1/4?? I am interested in a 2.5" because I have the JDM ITR header with the 2.5 collector. Damn.... decisions decisions.

Damn i thought it was gonna be 2.5 which is what i would like to use for my setup. If they can do 2.5 then i would be down for sure but i dont think 2.25 is gonna do it for the turbo application. But if they can do the 2.5 let me know. Sorry for not asking earlier in the PM...

i seriously doubt they can do 2.5 becuz i already asked too. the only problem is i dont want too much back pressure. that's wat im afraid of. but hey, if anything happens. let me know!

i got my cat back exhaust for 200 installed

You are missing the point....

This is a DC Sport exhaust that is MADE for our car. It comes in Stainless Steel and will not rust. Everything has smooth bends and is not like that crinkled shit you get at midas or whatever cheap exhaust places. That is why it is almost $600

dude.. if ur talking about pacesetter.. that dont even count compared to DC sports stainless steel exhaust. if ur is custom.. that's worst. not saying ur shit is bad.. im jus saying ur getting ur dollars worth in this exhaust system. i know i am..

It wont fit the hatch.

The hatch is 3" shorter than the coupes and sedans when measured from the rear wheel to the muffler hooks.

if someone with a hatch gets it they will have to take it to a shop and have them cut and weld to make it fit.


As far as how it looks, I beleive it was an oval can muffler with a single 3" tip cut at a slant.



If I had the money I would defanitly get one even if I had to mod it a bit to fit.

Good job wickedaccord on getting this thing happening.

no prob guaynabo89, dont thank me though. think of me as a messenger only.. anyhow. im sure they have it for ur hatchback. ill check it jus in case tomorrow though. thanks for lettin me know.

jon

I tried telling dc sports that after they started listing the exhausts in the catalogs, but by that time they had already discontinued it and had no interest in what I was trying to explain to them.(how he hatch was shorter than the sedans coupes) :(

Still good work:super:

bastards eh.. didnt want to bother with u.. that's how most big companies r. if they know ur not willing to spend money or jus asking questions. they wont even bother with u. that's y i had my friend talk to them. i know wat u mean though.. punks dude.. but let me see wat i can do tomorrow about the hatches alright. thanks

man I have the $$$ but...I will definitly think about it....to bad I cant just the the pipe,because I was hoping to get a titanium muffler in the future.

go to the muffler shop, ask for a 2.25 inch cat back mandrell bent with stainless pipes... i know i can get it for about 220 canadian bucks... so like 150 american... then add a 50 dollar e bay muffler...

Travis

stainless steel mandrel bent custom!? GOOD LUCK!

yea its impossible for a shop to have mandrel piping so dc sports and pacesetter are your best bet its worth gettin the dc sports but i also have a hatchback and short of money

560 is quite a bit how much hp am i going to gain over getting the muffler shop to make me 2.25 piping with my apex i n1 exhaust ?

my dad has stainless mandrell on his trans am.. 3 inch off the headers..

Travis

Major props for making this happen jon.:super: If I still had my 3g, I'd be on the list.

Will you guys please get this 2.5" nonsense out of your heads. Unless you have some serious mods, like wild cam, ported and polished heads, and rework for a higher rev limit. You cannot benefit in a positive way over 2.25". You will not have enough exhaust gas volicity. Even then, without a displacement increase, I highly doubt it is a power band enhancing move. I think theirs this notion that you need to be one up on the other guy. Thing is, it's the other way around.

Jim,

I do have serious mods. See that engine in my sig? It has the JDM ITR 4-1 header with a FACTORY 2.5" collector. I want to keep 2.5" all the way back. It would make no sense to go with a smaller exhaust.

Also, Rob needs a 2.5" because his car will be turbo. He should actually even want to get a 3" exhaust because the bigger exhaust the better for turbo.

i know my exhaust is cheap....i get ur point too...whoever made that point. whoever you are....anyways yeah...so what was this thread about....im sleepy and tired at 10:27 am in the mornin...too early for me...wait this is offtopic..nevermind
yeah go exhaust dude

hey wicked why don you call HKS and make them make a turbo kit for the accord too:D

damn all of a sudden i want another 3 gee :(

You guys are killin' me.
There's a shop in a small town of 7000 where I live that has a mandrel bender. The machines only cost an average of $2K more than the hydraulic benders. Ask around and i'll bet you could find some performance shops in your area that have mandrels. Besides being cheaper, any exhaust shop worth anything will be able to bend the pipe straighter than any aftermarket company while still being able to hang on the factory hangers.

It doesn't matter how "crinkled" you pipe looks on the outside, it's still smooth on the inside. You can knurl a square groove on the outside of thinwall piping and the depressions on the inside will be rounded, NOT square like they are on the outside. The main difference between mandrel and hydraulic bent pipe is the severity of the angles in which the pipes are bent. Naturally, the mandrel bent pipes will be smoother and the degrees of the bends more gradual (less severe) than hydraulic. The more laminar (smoother) airflow is what makes an exhaust more effective. The only way of acheving this is by making your exhaust piping as straight as possible and whether your piping is mandrel or hydraulic bent means little when compared to the overall picture (in our case). Mandrel could shave some hundredths or thousandths of you 1/4 time. I say that b/c our cars HP run in the lower side of the hundreds (on average). If we ran 8 second cars w/ 900 HP V8 engines, I would not hesitate to have every part of the exhaust (all headers) mandrel bent. I can think of better, more gainful mods to put on my car w/ 400 dollars that I would save by not getting a DC Exhaust.

But Wicked, seriously, props for sticking with it and convincing one of the big boys to dust off their specs sheets and making the 3Geez members some higher quality performance parts.

You rock my friend. :super:

my point exactly.. u guys have to understand the quality that is in this. so it's something u cant compare to a custom exhaust that will rust on u. i dont mind if u guys dont buy this, but must i warn u that this may be an only one time deal for this. right now im trying to push this so DC will realize that there r still 3geez enthusiast out there. and if they find out that i cant even pull this off for them, they're not going to give a shit about me. they'll jus say.. here's ur damn exhaust now leave us alone.

as for the 2.5, yea it'll be good to have. but like jim said., if u cant back up ur shit.. 2.5 is worthless. sure it'll give u some better gains,.. but ull loose back pressure and due to that. u loose torque. 2.5 is good for my set up, steve's set up, and rob's set up. but for a fairly stock car. it's not worth the loss of torque. u may not feel it., but it'll definately show on a dyno. im using 2 1/4 for my set up and eh.,, dont bother me. right now it's jus too loud becuz of no restriction on the TRUST system. even though TRUST is greddy.. there is a difference in the resonators. jdm.. less restrictive... usdm.. more restricitive.

but no problem for the props.. dont props me., prop urselves for being enthusiastic about a 3gee. as far as HKS goes.. they made exhaust for our cars too.. but those freakin bastards dont want to make it. and turbo.. dont even go there.. they'll jus laugh and say it'll cost too much for fabrications and no one will dish out that money for it.

Wicked's right about the 2.5 in piping. It's just too much. Even those of you w/ no mods at all might not notice anything until the engine reaches the high end of the powerband. Look at how many mods wicked had on his monster and he still runs 2.25 in. I say the only time to run 2.5 in for our cars is if you've got turbo. Otherwise, stick w/ the 2.25 in.

I agree that the DC is worth every penny.

I may think about getting it. but not anytime soon.


Wicked... it's not back pressure you need... it's exhaust velocity.

And its exhaust velocity that you will lose when you get 2.5" over 2.25"

The faster the exhaust travels out, the greater the scavanging effect, so you'll have greater vacuum pulling in more air from the TB or Carb.

Mike, were you saying that 2.5 pipe has less exhaust velocity and the 2.25 has more?

Yes the 2.25 has more exhaust velocity.

OK OK.. now r there any that r interested besides mike and myself?? please pm me if u want a set up. u can pay through PAYPAL also when it is settled.

:bow: jon

I have a few questions

Is that a ONE SHOT deal????

Is it Carb legal (so cops can't complain about it)

Do we make the deal directly through DC sports?



I'm concerned about this cause I just spent alot of money on the car lately and I can't get the exhaust right now (all new bushings/balljoints, rear disc/bigger front disc conversion, Strut bar, B20A parts, Koni struts.... stuff that add up to more than 1k in a week... so I would want the catback but only if

1- it's street legal
2- I can get it a bit later
3- I see the color of my money

definately 50 state street legal. i cannot gaurantee it to be available later. and i doubt u can go through DC sports. most of the time.. shops like that wont even talk to u. i only got this deal becuz my friend knows inside players to DC. and like i said before.. if i cant even pull this deal off.. DC probably wont even bother with me and my friend again the next time. which is y im getttin mine in a hurry.

:bow: jon

How much are they going to make, only as needed or a little more supply?

Many people wanted them from time to time....

I would think it would be a one time deal as well since the wouldnt even talk to me with 10 buyers. I tried this about a year or two ago and i tried to hunt down one from the first batch and DC even gave me some shops to call that they supplied but had no luck with that. So i would think this would be the last chance to get one if at all.

ROB is right.. and like i said before. if there i cant get that much buyers.. DC will only look at it like it's still not worth producing to 3gee accords cuz there isnt enough enthusiast out there. compared to civics or integras.. it jus wont be worth their time.

is there a way to see what the tip is going to look like? or even a ballpark of the sound will it be a tanabe racing medallion sound ? or something like a hks dragger ? i dont want to spends almost 600 for something that i dont even like the sound of it

expect the sound to be more like GREDDY'S sound. due to it being 50 state legal. i would presume it to be more GREDDY. although i havent heard it on our cars yet.. but others.. it's almost the same as greddy's. then again every car sounds different due to the motor. 4inch tip slanted.

i just recently got pipe bent for my T1R, and paid around the same for quality work to be done, so no thanks for me but good work tryin to get a buy together, go for quality guys its whats lifes all about....

Someone sould Get about 10 or so of these and just sell them out right them self......I would get one but I got a 2.25 mandrell bent with stainless. $200

I love this shit.. "the only problem" is that it will take them two whole weeks to hose you for $560. Classic. Get a custom job or the Pacesetter if you're lazy. This is ricockulous

dude.. jus cuz ur cheap and dont want to spend money, dont get all anal an shit.... geez

:bow: jon

I'm telling you some people just don't apreciate the work you do for them.:rolleyes:


One thing everyone has to remember is when exhaust companies make an exhaust they try different versions. So you can expectt this exhaust to be the best available than just something put together to mimick the stock exhaust.

dude.. dont get me wrong. i know wat ur saying.. and it's damn true wat ur saying. 100% of it. it's jus going to be funny later when ppl want this thing and it wont be available anymore... PERIOD!

:bow: jon

Ok, "IF" I wanted that exhaust, who gets my money and who will ship me the exhaust?

my friend gets the money. i dont profit either.. a few ppl think i should profit something but i dont think it's fair..

so whats the news on everyones exhaust...

It should lool like any other Cat back for the Accord.. Look at the Pacesetter ..Just Dc stainless steel

I want one bad....I have the $...So is this gonna happen or not?
Those Catbacks look so nice--The quality and exhaust note will be awesome-I bet it will sound close to the Greddy SP CAT-back.

Has anyone actually seen them for or 3gee?
(because it seems the first ones just magically disappeared)

try to PM wickedaccord cuz i talked to him about a week ago and i placed an order for one, so just email him

Did he give you any details?
(like when you can expect to have it your hands and you pay up front for everything)
