So, I had a little crack in my exhaust and today I was at a light and heard the loudest car ever.Turns out it wasn't the piece of **** next to me...it was my car.my exhaust split about an inch after the resonator from when my hangers rusted out about a month ago and the exhaust hitting the crossmember.I just got it welded to about a week ago and cost me $75 what a f*cking waste.this suxxxxxx.

on that note does anyone have a stock catback for sale????

 

Check the Parts for sale forum for the 4th Gen's

 

You want loud, try driving around open manifolds. Louder than ****. I drove around like that for a few days after swapping out my trans in my driveway, and got so sick of being under the car that I didn't give a damn about the exhaust for a while. I've since put the y-pipe back on (just yesterday, actually), but I broke the studs coming out of the cat that go into the resonator flange, so my exhaust system is comprised of a ypipe and a cat right now, that's it. Not quite as loud as open manifolds, but...

But oh my god is it loud with no exhaust system at all...get up to redline and it sounds like a top fuel dragster or something.

 

^^ Talk about failing emmisions

 

Yea i had an old integra a while ago before my maxima and it had a little hole in the muffler and did not have a cat. That **** was HEALLA loud! It wasnt a clean sound was an annoying rumble

Uhhh...yeah...I mean...HONDA...ANNOYING RUMBLE...cmon mate...it's to be expected...

 

not all the time...my honda sounded nice...open headers all day

 

Okay - not all Hondas sound like a fart in a can, but a lot do.

Nissans have their exhaust problems too though...

Unfortunately here in NZ there is a plague of Skylines, Silvias and boosted Laurels (all with RB and SR series motors) and like one guy on the NZ version of this website said: "It's like a WWII flying formation...DRONE"

 

If your still interested I'll be selling my stock catback in the near future.

 

This is a thread back from 2006. Dude hasn't logged in since early 2009.

 

This is funny

 

to the op, if you have a 95-96 and are near nj or va area, i got one for cheap. Its a bosal stock b-pipe. let me know if you are. and by cheap, i mean like $60 for new

 

noobs...

 

 

well, as long as we're here, anyone know how to seal a very small exhaust leak? I used my exhaust as a brace for a pair of vice grips once and put a tiny leak in the rear seal on the cat. It makes a whining noise at idle - kinda cool, actually, makes the car sound like a spaceship - but after I shut it down it makes "bhoop, bhoop, bhoop" noises which are weird and make the car sound sad. Is there some kind of high-temp sealant I could use to seal it?

 

Rear seal? As in the gasket? Hmm, that would be obvious what to do in that case Replace the gasket. If not weld it shut or have an exhaust shop do it for like 10$, as it doesn't sound so severe.

 

Great thread jack, nice! lol

Yo man, jsu get some high temp RTV. Shd work nicely or like Nmexmax sd, jus find someone to weld it up for u. Hit up Autozone, they have a bunch of low budget solutions for exhaust leak.
