Exhaust Inspiration (Pics please!)

Post by G-lude » Mon May 18, 2015 1:55 pm

Looking at changing the god awful oval tip that the previous owner fitted to my 5g. I already have a stainless cat back which was custom made so it's only the back box I'll be changing, so many Hondas can pull off the angled back box look but I'm not sure how that would fair on the lude. So far just the twin tips seem to be the nicest option!

Anyway could people post pics of there backboxes so I can make a decision what will look best!

If you have a look at the 'show us your rears' thread, you'll probably see a load of different tail pipes on there, for comparison.

In case you have trouble finding it...

STK's got a jaunty tail pipe. It's not the actual backbox that's at an angle though as it's difficult to achieve that with the little room under there...

Futsisubo as above do look great, but can be expensive.
An alternative is to visit tailpipes.co.uk, who have a vast range of tailpipes including Japanese style cans with back boxes. All fitted through Longlife exhausts, and dealers countrywide. Mine was fitted by Liquid Metal Fabrications in Bicester.

Didn't realise mugen did a twin loop for the prelude. I presume obx is a copy.

Much less noise while keeping exhaust flow almost unrestricted. However, due to their technique of cancelation you cannot put one designed for a specific engine on another engine and expect same results. Twin loop for civic will be silent in completely different rev range than prelude. Same thing with one for h22 on f20. Just not right :)
