    I wouldnt trust my butt dyno for something minor as a bigger exhaust on a stock engine. It's rather the sound fooling you into thinking so. At low rpm the sound is always louder and deep which makes it feel like the car is moving slower.

    +1. I swear my car got slower when I had my exhaust leak fixed.

    So you go to abbot to street race your car nice! Well I guess, whatever floats your boat its your car. The thing is our car are never going to be good street racing material. You should look into getting a 2.25" you'll have so more mid-range power because that is where these cars shine. They are not like all the other high rev hondas.

    Yeah you gotta do what you like. If what you like happens to be what other people think are rice, tell em to go take a flying leap. If you like the exhaust, and you like the sound, then thats what counts. But you should post pics.

    ^^ yep. I love smoking ricers in my 3gee, and even with the small amount of mods I've done to it my car is decently fast.

    Muffler...

    Its an RS type stainless muffler with a blue flamed tip found on Slickcar.com. And as far as the pics are concerned i have given up on the Razor approach and i am now going to use my g/f's you-tube ready camera for easy uploads cuz i am tired of trying to figure out how to upload them even though they are the best vids i have seen and would make the 3g comunity look better compared to the weak ass vids on you-tube. And yes i know what you guys are talking about where people give us shit about trying to make a performer out of older accords, sure theyre not the best performing cars out of the factory, but in their day they suited just fine, no-one realy expects to beat a porsche or ferrari, and i hope that no-one thinks they are going to be in the 8 second range, but what its all about is making the car perform better and more enjoyable to drive right?

    ^^ that muffler is similar to mine. Except the tip is freaking huge on yours. I tried to find the smallest tip that magnaflow offered for that style muffler. well shortest anyway. It's still 4" diameter.

    Tip size...

    Yeah it looks huge in the picture but fits very nicely into the bumper, it actually sits flush with the lip of the bumper...
