hey guys I know I just fell off the face of the earth and I stilll have to much on my platter in which I can not chew but anywho. enough with all that sappy talk and get down to the real question. I was wondering if you guys would consider making your own exhaust " ricer?" At my shop for school we have some extra 3 1/2 inch tubing lying around and when I do get a car I was just wondering if when I throw pics up here I would get laughed at or something? just wondering thanks guys for taking time to read this.

 

well makeing your own anything isn't ricer imo, but 3.5 inch piping is retarded and you will lose hp and it will sound bad

 

Hell no its not ricer. I am in school for welding and have done lots of stuff to my car. I fully plan on making my own exhaust just as soon as we get our bender in. If people laugh, it because they are jealous that they cannot do what you did. Just make sure that it looks good and works like it should. As ef4life said, if you go that big on your pipes you will kill your HP. For our loww compression engines you don't want to go big. Good luck and post some pics up when you get it done.

 

how would you get it to sound good though?

yeah on our small engines i wouldnt go over 2.5....you will lose the whole scavenging effect....

 

ya 3.5 is to much, 2.25-2.5 is the right size if ur staying N/A. no its not ricey or w/e to make ur own exhaust but it might sound it...i assume u arnt gena be using a resonator? what about muffler?

 

I can get some 2.5 piping if I need to. civic I dont even have a car so I wasnt thinking about it TO much but I thought it could be a good thing to look into, when I do get one which should be very soon hopefully as soon as I get all my **** straight around my houses and stuff.

 

Well good luck in making it, and of course we will congratulate you for your hard work to make it.
