Test pipe / 2nd cat delete

[budurka29]

Its out

Its in

Omg its in .. That was a ***** with a capital B!

 

[budurka29]

Tbh save your money it doesnt make any diff in the cab wen ur driving and i had my dad behind it as i took off he said it sounds the same :/


Wish i did a sound clip before and after

 

[FRDRICE]

Everyone has told me it's louder and I also have track video that you can tell it is. Initial startup also has a deeper tone. Not a crazy difference however.

 

[budurka29]

Initial start up yea its deeper not wat id call "louder"

 

[budurka29]

For some reason i cant start in second ... Witch sucks cause if im behind some 1 at a red light i always do second (cause if i do first i go from 0- in there bumper in 0. Oh **** seconds)

 

[FRDRICE]

I've always been able to start in second, just have to give it enough revs.

 

[budurka29]

I use to before i put that pipe on ? Like does it just have to be worked in a few miles?

 

[Dennis Rockholt]

Yes. I have the skunk2 alpha header and the thing is deeper. It gets rid of both cats that's why.

How do you like the skink 2? I am probably going to order the Full-race down pipe, but am considering the skunk as well

 

[budurka29]

I know this is old but here is me driving home with the test pipe on windows down

Edit : uh i cant post a video from the app hold on ...

Edit 2: posted on youtube heres the link . Got up to about 80 u hear 2nd-5-6th idk really it was dark -.- but theres a drive then a clear rev all the way at the end

Oh how I don't miss the civic forums and the mass of misinformation and lack of knowledge when just throwing shat on your car. Keep in mind per $1000 you spend, your lucky to even see 20hp.
Fart cans ,catback exhaust,test pipes,intakes are a cash cow for performance companies as the yields are generally horeshat,and are extremely overpriced. Any part pertaining to the engine will take the ecu a short.time to adjust to changing elements in a/f/r especially when you start yanking cats out and spacing o2 sensors.
Only true yields will result from serious aftermarket components such as cams,internal builds,re-mapping,and of course the holy grail. Forced inductions.

Research and ask questions,but don't be discouraged when your $100 piece of steel didn't yield you Paul walker green eclipse results.
Just a bit of advice from a veteran of " piss away money for years until you realize it's all for nothing,until you go big,really big"

In short,I just bought my third si (2015) ,and am highly impressed with the tweaks and features from the 8th Gen models I owned. Look forward to seeing more !

I understand, im not trying to be a ball buster, just dont want people getting discouraged, as we have all been there at some point. I am a fan of test pipes primarily for the extra bit of bawwww you get. My s2000 made a huge difference (noise) . Clean car!

Exactly why i bought this haha its cheap but gives u a slight louder deeper tone . Until i got my full tsudo exhaust now im like .. Loud haha for my build i mainly am going for looks and noise . The general rice burner haha i basically am a rolling rave i got so many led lights ( illegal i believe ) and the subwoofer and new set of speakers its just awsome or awful ( according to my mom) haha

It was on the install that it broke. I think i may have made the ultimate noob mistake and cross threaded the bolt. thankfully after hours of hard work and busted knuckles and scratched hands , the pipe is finally in. She is a slight bit louder. Accelerates a bit better. It also got rid of the popping sound in the factory exhaust. The pipe fit perfectly and had all the gaskets and hardware that was needed.

Hey man i just tried installing mine today and the bolts they gave me did not fit neither the stock ones from the car

 

[Francisco Mendoza]

Looks fishy ... Its sticking out of the box??

Just bubble wrap? No insulation ?

No inside weld?

Damaged?

The last picture mine did not fit on my 2015 si need to use stock one and I need bolts because the bolts it came with were to big and the stock bolts the springs to long kinda bummed out I couldn't do it today but I'll fix it latter I just put the back everything together
