Exhaust , Header , & Short Shifter

[Legend_master]

I got my header and shifter in the mail. The B&M shifter DOES work but has play up and down so its not the right fit. I know i was told that but why not try? I live in arizona so i called pacesetter and they want $340 for the exhaust, but summit wants $220. Summit does charge a $10 handling fee but shipping is free, does anyone know why the price difference is so large?

Dude, just have an exhaust shop build you a system. Don't tell them how much pacesetter wants or anything, cause they will jack up the price. Tell them you want 2.5" piping from the cat back. If you can afford it, go ahead and get a bigger catalytic converter. What state do you liver in?

I live in arizona. I do know a shop that does awsome work. I have already bought the headers and they come with the down pipe. How much would it cost to get a system made from the cat all the way back??

I only ask where you live, because of emission laws. I dont know how much you will have to pay for a system, it all depends on the shop. I got my exhaust done for $75.00, but I know the guy that does the work and I bring all my cars to him. Shop around and ask multiple shops untill you find the cheapest one. THats how I did it.

Im not to knowledgable on magnaflow, but I know they are a good company. YOu will not need anything bigger then 2.5" on an N/A motor.

2.5 inch pipe might not be good. i read that a 2.0L engine 2.25 should be the max on a NA engine. even on my exhuast at low rpms it like pops(mini backfires) high rpms are smooth tho. i have a magnaflow cat and muffler...sounds ok...a bit loud at times.

I had a shop build me a 2 1/2 inch exhaust off of my header back for my car, with a new high-flow cat, and Magnaflow muffler, it came out to about $450. You'd probably have to call the shop though to find out, it depends on what they charge for parts and labor costs. Could be a couple hundred dollar difference.

That popping is due to the car running rich. I have a 1.8L with 3" piping(i know it's over kill, but I didnt want to get another system after turbo), and it runs fine.

I think im goin to order this. It says its the right one. Now does it install without useing any of the stock part or do i ned to keep my stock parts just incase??

[89hondaSOHC]

So i called around and got some quotes and i didnt find anything lower then 380. I have the header from pacesetter, i asked for a high flow cat and a magnaflow muffler with 2" piping. Maby arizona just sucks(its a known fat)

Get the parts off of ebay and get the piping from the muffler shop.

that is what i did...i got my cat and muffler for less than 100 bucks for both....the pipe the guy did charge me a premium since its like menderal bend and it was less than 200. and with headers you should be able to free up at least 7-10 hp

If you're getting 2" make sure it's mandrel or draw bent since die/press bent exhaust has nasty crimping that decreases pipe diameter at the bends and may make it not worth the money/effort to get 2".

Yes....... Ill to that

[snoopyloopy]

oh, i don't think so. tell me why all the best shops are out here.

[LX-incredible]

No good to mod 'em if you can't drive 'em.

we can drive them. just don't get pulled over racing or with "stolen" parts.

"Stolen" being from other vehicles? Personally I would rather have a B18 manifold than the restrictive stocker. There's plenty of other things as well...

yeah, and with no serial #. but like i surmised before in the thread about the crushings, lack of a serial # doesn't necessarily mean it's stolen. sure, stolen parts might not have serial #, but so do legit parts. so lack of a serial # definitely doesn't prove it's stolen.
