So I had an exhaust leak following the trackday just gone, it was near the collector. Anyway one thing led to another, and it got booked into ARO Exhausts in Buckinghamshire. He is a really nice guy called Ant, and wants the best from every car he gets in. He is a Powerflow Dealer.

 

Apologies for the dirty under carriage, Im dailying the Accord at the moment, and the roads are rough at the moment.

 

Here are some basic un-doctored phone pics that I quickly snapped after work.

 

 

2" to 2.5" collector mod

Angled 2.5" flexi for exhaust tuck clearance

Lipless 2.5" straight through Powerflow resonator. Clamped in so can be replaced with my Cat at anytime.

Reduced down to 2.25" at this point to keep the flow up to keep the bottom end torque up.

Powerflow 170mm 2.25" Oval silencer, with my old tail pipes welded back on.

So the issues this has solved:

 

Undersized system for the new engine

Too quiet

Crooked tail pipe due to rushed welding job last winter

Fixed collector leak

Properly hung and corrected tension on down pipe, stopping the manifold to downpipe gasket leaking under load.

In and out Cat for trackdays

Improved resonator clearance

A good few ponys freed up. 

 

I think Ive justified it  :-D  :wink:

It sounds loud, deep with a tuned noted. Will get a video clip up.

However I do have 3 sounds to choose from so to speak. In that I can insert the cat or straight pipe in place of the middle resonator.

Im enjoying it as it is currently. But I will swap them about soon to see how they sound. I suspect the straight pipe will induce some rasp. And the cat will be quieter but with slight rasp as it not a resonator. We shall see!
