Exhaust

[Rooney]

I was looking at exhausts at jspec.com, and for all of the exhaust it said to use for a turbo car, it would be loud for a n/a car, my question is, how loud would they be for a non-turbo car?

[panda_3ight_6]

What brand was it? what car was it for?

[Rooney]

It was for the s-13, and the exhausts I was looking for, was the HKS drager 2, and the 5-Zigen fireball.

I've Heard that 5Zigen is LOUD!!! but i dont know about the HKS...

Im confused. Didnt you answer your own question before you asked it? n/a doesnt mean not applicable. It means naturally aspirated (means no turbo). Unless it does mean not applicable.

Just confused by your grammar.

The question was, how loud would the exhaust be for a non-turbo car. It said to use the exhaust for a turbo car.

My boss has an HKS Dragger 2 on his car and it's NA, I think his exhaust sounds great, very deep and rumbly.

My exhaust is a 5Zigen Fireball muffler w/custom pipe, I thought it sounded good for about the first few months, but it gets too raspy like a weedeater sometimes.

Are you planning on ordering it online and having it shipped to you or are you local to SoCal??? Cause if you're local to SoCal I would drive over to Sam's shop and have him test fit it on your car so you can hear it before you buy. Or come over to our shop and listen to my boss'.

I was gonna order it online, Since you live across the country, I dont think I could make it over there.

I got a Apexi N1 w/ 3 inch piping. Its loud, but thats what I wanted. Looks bad *Censored**Censored**Censored* too.

i have trust DD on N/A KA24DE, its pretty loud but not extremely. i run without any sort of silencer, i got pulled over for it once but that cop is a *Censored**Censored**Censored*got. *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored*ing ernie.

i love the way it sounds though, while its loud it isnt at all whiney, very deep and thunderous. its leaky though one of my flanges cracked against the diff cause my car is too low, exhaust crackles very hard on deceleration, sounds bad *Censored**Censored**Censored*

I heard your boyfriend say your a$$ was deep, and thunderous when he was decelerating.

[PearlWhiteMike]

yeah and i can get both fists elbow deep in my DD

youre so flattering warren

When they refer to turbo, its usally means the piping size. Most of the time 60 mm is N/A and 80mm is turbo.

[baloo]

i have to agree with chaos the size of the piping is the differnce bigger the pipe you need more power to push all the air out or the pipe (turbo) so if you use a turbo cat back lets say 3 inch you will maybe gain high end power but ultimatly loose power since in a na car you gain power by backpressure here is a link that goes into more detail

[quickstyleRPS13]

if you have a non turbo car you should get an exaust that is about 60mm like chas said because if you get a turbo exaust than you will most likely have idal problems and it will sound like crap. i have the HKS hyper for my sr20det it sounds good. if i were you id go with the HKS but dont get me wrong the 5-zigen is also a good exaust.

[quickstyleRPS13]

well if my info was wrong thats cool my bad.iv only worked on sr20det/sr20de and some rb motors never a ka. well thanks for leting use all know some real info on the ka. thats some new info in my books.

Sidepipe it

Sounds best!

i definitely think exhaust is a worthwihle mod on an NA KA, but i never thought it'd make 13hp. i dont think itll make as much power as an intake will, at least it didnt feel like it to me, and the intake is huge for throttle response

dual is the way to go, i think. you get all the flow of the big 3" system, but better backpressure for torque and while its very loud, its not as high pitched as a bigger single. mine is 3" to from cat to muffler and then i think 60mm pipes from the muffler back. Trust DD rocks!

be sure to run it with no gaskets and let your flanges welds crack from being way too low, it makes it sound meaner

Hahaha, I want sidepipes, like the Daishin S-15 in the Gt300 series.

[mranlet]

hell's yeah!

You'll save a lot of weight and be able to run a smaller pipe and still maintain correct flow and backpressure rates.
