The salt and snow here kill exhausts. Can anybody recommend some emissions-legal (OBDII) stainless exhaust parts, for a '00 VP sedan from head to tailpipe? I'm not looking for noisy or megapower. Stock power and sound are fine for my needs.

The VP is the same engine and exhaust as the DX/LX...Non-VTEC, SOHC, 1.6L, with the cat integrated into the exhaust manifold. It has AC, if that makes any difference.

Header? Cat? Catback? Will they all be compatible and strictly bolt-on (no welding)?

 

Anybody?

 

apexi world sport, titanium coated, so rust preventive I guess. High grade stainless steel in other parts, again helps against rust.

 

Magnaflow : D or Greddy if you want to drop $$.

Magnaflow cat-backs carry a million-mile warranty and are made of 300-series stainless steel. The only material better when it comes to rust is all-titamium, but a cat-back made of titanium would cost thousands.

 

you could always just get some stock piping and paint it with some high temp paint to keep the salt off it as much....

thats if you want the stock sound.

 

By the time he cleans, sands, primers, and paints the entire exhaust, I think it would be easier just to go with stainless steel.

 

sure but downfall about stainless setup is i dont know of any stock setups.... tho i guess you could use the front piping and just paint the rear muffler section that is stock and bolt it up to the midpipe i guess..... i didnt think of it like that...

 

It doesn't have to be so quiet that you can't tell the engine is running or anything. I just don't want to be so loud that it sets off car alarms as I drive past. I do over 30K miles some years, and I don't want to have loud droning on a 16hr drive.
