You plan on letting us know what you're going to do with all these sheets of CF? :)

it's a suprise

gwasabi · 02-23-2009, 04:27 AM

y dont u just buy the CF material and resin it onto the material itself then jell coat or clear coat it? that's probably the best way to get a better fit

too much work and the smell is also bad. i'll work something out i guess..

PETERPOOP · 02-23-2009, 10:59 AM

There's gotta be a guy who does professional custom CF in oahu somewhere! My friend's friend is just starting to do some CF peices. If he ever gets good, i'll let you know.

ps: I'm tired of your guys "it's a secret"! Killing me

thanks, found that site already. I'm going to see the difference between the ebay carbon fiber I picked up, and this site.

gwasabi · 02-25-2009, 02:26 AM

I actually have a friend that does CF work and I'm planning to get some CF work done soon......and like always its a Secret Peter!

gwasabi · 02-25-2009, 04:17 AM

Oh btw I'm just gonna pop the greddy back on with a silencer if anything

gwasabi · 02-26-2009, 05:59 PM

Updating from Mac store woots! hahahaha Just went to get my Greddy Muffler back on. no cat and no resognator! YEA!!! alot quiter but still has a loud enough growl to it. I'll make some videos soon of my straight pipe with muffler and one cat hahaha

PETERPOOP · 02-26-2009, 07:06 PM

hurry up and make videos man!

Reposted from our Hawaii section hahaha.

Thats the link to my first Vid

thats the link to my second vid.......

I'm using my phone so it's not the best quality...sound came out alright....the second time the phone fell over hahahahaha

My impression of the straight pipe after a week is that it loses power in the lower end RPM but once you get it up to speed it picks up pretty quick. From stop it's a little rough on the clutch. Sometimes I tend to stall out if I don't rev quick enough. I figure that a NST crank pulley set will balance things out.

This is a Secondary Cat & Resognator delete setup with the Greddy Ti-C muffler chopped and rewelded onto a 2.5' pipe. Straight back over axle mandrel bent.

repost from the sightings section hahaa

PETERPOOP · 03-04-2009, 01:15 PM

Well here are some things I have purchased and will be receiving in the VERY near future:

Blitz S/C kit
NST Crank lite pulley (pulley used for S/C application)
Megan Header
o2 anti foul sensor
NGK Iridium IX spark plugs 2667

I am also going to get a magnaflow muffler (still deciding which one), and a resonator. Then I will run a 2.25" downpipe from the Megan headers to the resonator, then continue to the 2.25" magnaflow muffler. Both cats will be gone. Free flow baby!

I also need to find out where the cheapest place to purchase Lucal Oil. I will be mixing this in with every fill up I do now. It will prevent the pre-ignition!

gwasabi · 03-04-2009, 02:42 PM

Why u gonna get a resognator or muffler? thats not freeflow.....it's just gonna create more resistance. You don't need resognator just a muffler will do. It's not super loud. I'm running without a resognator and my muffler is just fine.

PETERPOOP · 03-04-2009, 02:45 PM

LoL. I do NOT trust your opinion on what is loud and what's not. You were driving around with no muffler and one cat deleted and you LOVED it! Those were your exact words. Sean from munkey wurks said it was louder than any honda he's ever heard.

I am going to use a resonator because it will dampen the sound without restricting the flow. No worries beef curries.

I just called exhaust systems hawaii. That place is horrible. Their customer service is trash. They guy was saying they charge around 40-50$ per bend for mandrel bends. I need to locate other shops.

gwasabi · 03-04-2009, 02:53 PM

TOLD YA! I don't think you'd think my exhaust setup is loud right now.....and yea I did agree with sean about the straight pipe. I loved it but its still loud lol. Anyway if you want to hear my exhaust setup then we can setup a meeting. Also ALL resognators will restrict flow.....like i said, you don't need one. At most not having one will make your car sound about 5-10% louder...

in my opinion my TiC without the resonator has a lower and nicer tone than when I had it with the resonator

but dont let me tell you what to do lol it's just my 2 cents and I know nothing about cars lol
