headers

ok i will post again let me try one more time i have a 1993 accord and i want to put headers/flex pipe/cat and then run a straight pipe from there to the stock muffler good idea??

i had the full exhaust to stock muffler on my 91 coupe and the muffler sounded like a bb rattling in a canteen. It sounded terrible. I drove it like that for a day then got a aftermarket muffler to put on. Just my opinion

It's one header, not headers.
Straight pipe to the muffler will sound like shit. Loud and raspy and will probably get you pulled over. Put a resonator on it to quiet it down.

also almost any aftermarket header has the same tubular design and will flow just the same as the stock f22a4 header. The bisimoto header is the only one that will give significant power and will outperform the a4 header

[deevergote]

Aftermarket headers will offer some gain over the A4 piece, but not enough to justify a high price.

Anyway, please clarify what you mean by a "straight pipe". Do you mean a pipe with no resonators, or are you imagining a literal straight pipe with no bends from the cat to the muffler?
A resonator-less pipe will indeed be loud. I had that on my car, before my girlfriend couldn't stand it anymore... she dragged me to a shop to have a resonator installed for my birthday.

A perfectly straight pipe will require some custom work just to hang it, and it will most likely have to hang very low to clear everything. The exhaust tunnel in your car is part of the design...

no i mean putting a header of ebay with the flex pipe and a cat then run a welded straight pipe to my s pipe that eventualy goes to the muffler

So basically you just want to run without a resonator.

wat would the resonator do if i put it in???and if i dont would it still sound nice im new to accords car period i only had 2 cars before this one and this is the one i always wanted so im learning along the way

[deevergote]

The resonator has nothing to do with the car being an Accord. It's a part of all exhaust systems. It might be to your benefit to learn what all the parts of an exhaust system do before you make plans to replace them.

ok good idea its just because were im from they have the same setup i want.....i only want to know wat would be the diffrence in betwen like? for ex/ will the car inside sound louder or would it vibrate jut asking to people that already have experience wat im trying to do ????or wat should i do??

[deevergote]

Learn about the parts of an exhaust system, and what they do. You will be able to answer your own questions then, and think like a big boy!

And the word "what" contains the letter H.
