Aftermarket Exhaust Installation Help

January 17, 2013, 11:34:20 PM

Hey kind of new here,
I have a beautiful bone-stock 88 tc that I'm trying to put 3" exhaust on. (No cat, Cherrybomb ler, header down). But the shop I took it too said 3" wouldn't fit, 2.5" probably wouldn't either. my car is kind of low to the ground, but i've seen punks in hondas where the pipe is a hairs breadth from the asphalt and they do fine. (some of those "punks" are my friends lol). So does anyone here have some input?

I custom build those exhausts all the time. 3" in to a CAT then back with 2 1/2 all the way past the axle. Don't use a ler . Use only a cat. If you use a ler you are going to loose HP & Torque. I have been building Coupes since they came out. Forget a ler it will cost you ponies. Other than if you want it super quiet that is. Installing a system that is to large will cost you ponies,

:burnout:

My bird is lowered with a 3" all the way to the rear with the Magnaflow straight-through ler and no cat - all from Stinger - all installed by me, in my garage. I have no fitment issues or rubbing. Kinda scared of speed bumps, but it's been on a year now and no issues. Here's a short video I took (with the help of a co-worker) to show another guy how the system sounds:

It won't let me view it

Do you have any you tube clips? That is the set up I'm leaning towards

Dangit... I'm really starting to dislike Photobucket. Ever since they updated the site, nothing works right. I'll upload it to YouTube later tonight.

That thing sounds absolutely beautiful. Your setup was basically what I was going to put on mine. My honda friends taught me all about avoiding speed bumps lol, I think ill do it. :D

I went old school (read FREE)... cut roughly a coil and a quarter off the fronts, about an eighth of a coil off the rears, and lost the isolators all the way around. I can't remember how much it dropped it. This was a couple of years ago. But what you see above was the result. :)
