matty1 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I bought me a buddy club exhaust, came off an integra, I thought it was 2.5" pipe but turns out it's 2.25 pipe. I got a jdm itr manifold with a 2.5" collector and a 2.5" decat pipe. I'm aiming for 200bhp. Does any1 know if I have made a mistake with the 2.25" exhaust? Should I go with a 2.5" exhaust? The integra owner said it was a damn good system snd helped a lot. what should i do. Help please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 As far as i know that kind of combo will work just fine, if not perfectly. I decided on a diameterwise similar setup after quite a lot of research. Planning to purchase the missing parts and install it this summer, also hoping to hit one day the 200bhp mark.

I will be posting the results after I get it all done and back on the dyno for a remap on my build thread so make sure you keep a look. I'm hoping this 200bhp isn't to hard to reach. Good luck with sorting out the other parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 should be ok man. from research i did when choosing exhaust. 2.25 is best all round for torque and gain a few up top.2.5 may make more top end but loose torque lower in the rev range.so i think youve done right.

Worst case scenario il just sell it and get a 2.5" system. But the guy who I got it from, he had a ukdm integra dc2 with this exhaust and he's running 0-60 in 6 1/2 seconds easily. So if it works good on the integra, should work good on mine, well that's the theory anyway.And one more thing, this buddy club spec 2 exhaust, it's damn freaking loud yea, I haven't fitted it yet but was thinking, should I get a bigger high flow silencer put in the middle section just to make it a bit more liveable with??

KiNK43 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Just see what ya think before you start hacking it up and loosing its resaleability.you might be loud and proud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiet when cruising but baaaaaaaa! when vtecin' it. It's a bit loud on the freeway, though. But i'll definately be putting in a proper high flow mid silencer in when installing the new exhaust + magnaflow back box, it'll be murder otherwise! But i guess it all goes down to how race you wanna be Also true that the resale value will go down if you chop the buddy club up. Maybe try it first without the mid silencer?

matty1 Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 So my exhaust is really too loud. How to make it quiet? Do I put a back box on?? Or do I put a big centre section silencer in?? I need help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 It'd be a shame to butcher the spec 2 but I think backbox is the only way. I say that because i had a box made specially that is about the size of large midbox. And all it did was get rid of the rasp and make sound deeper. Still ridiculously loud!!
