streaky Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Well on the way to work this morning I noticed the all too familiar sound of a blowing exhaust! Seems my "to do" list is getting longer and longer and my wallet is getting emptier and emptier! Whilst it may just need some gum or a temporary repair I do like to keep my eyes peeled for a bargain.So my question (I searched but didn't have much luck) is what fits the MC2 off the shelf? I know manifolds are interchangeable between the various B18 engines but I'm talking mid-pipe and backbox. EG/DC/EK were all pretty much the same but knowing my luck the MC will be radically different. I would at some point like a subtle aftermarket one if i need to replace anything - so like to keep my options open if I can find what fits. Without actually looking to confirm... I guess an MB6 and MC2 mid pipe is the same but the MC2 backbox is longer? I know SuperSprint do a system for the MC2 but i'm not paying new prices, the exhaust would be worth more than the car!

noodels Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Got a itr"R" mid pipe on mine, bigger D= better sound and power noticed and has 2 silencers Note jdm R is NOT a direct fit uses a shorter cat,but same D otherwise mb6 mc2 same B pipeAnd yes the aerodeck back box is longer than most hondas so need special consideration..

streaky Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Thanks noodels. So just to clarify... an itr (uk) b-pipe is a straight swap for the OEM MC2 b-pipe? I guess as the UK teg uses a smaller bore than the jap, it also mounts up to the MC2 cat without messing around? Final question, are the hangers in the right place, or am I just hoping? If that all goes on no fuss, I could look at a custom backbox if necessary as noise is a concern now i'm old and have a baby to ferry around!

noodels Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 quote:I guess as the UK teg uses a smaller bore than the jap.No same as jdm bore,jdm is a longer b pipe because cat is shorter,all hangers are correct. the jdm itr R has bigger IN to cat same OUT as uk Rand not a lot of people know that. Naz has one on his mb6 i have one on my mc2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyekye09 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 as for the back box zs 180 saloon fits but you need to swap the flange and most are 2.25" bore and really not that expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streaky Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 Thanks for your input chaps.Somethings obviously gone as it's got worse in the last 24 hours. Need to get underneath and check it out. Looks like i will be restricted on budget though, but the above info has all been very helpful! Out of interest, any idea whats needed to make an MB6 backbox fit an MC2? I'm sure i can bribe one of our engineers with some beer money if it just a case of lengthening some pipe.

kyekye09 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 think its the tail pipe that is shorter bud checking on ebay the std back boxes look to have the same inlet side piping and bends but longer tail on the aerodeck box if that makes any sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noodels Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 yep the tail pipe is just xtended 4,5or 6 inches a pipe on the end and or like a member done on his dck Tom wonder how long it will take you to see this post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streaky Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 Thanks guys. So the box and connecting pipe are the same, just the rear tip (as in after the box and backwards) towards the rear end is extended? Thats what I got from a quick look, but only got my piddly phone screen to look at atm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 re the supersprint, another reason for staying clear is that they're not stainless... my mid pipe rotted after just under two years (swapped under warrantee, but still not great).
