Prelude Exhaust systems.... - HondaClub.com

'99prelude · 07-12-2007, 10:03 AM

Ok so I have an all stock 99 5th gen prelude and im looking into getting a new cat-back system. I have done some research and what not but I still do not known which one to choose. I am tryin to go for a really nice sound and still be able to get a good power gain. I looked into a couple of the tanabe exhaust systems but i do not know much about them. I also looked into Apexi and Greddy. I should also mention that i am looking to put a dual exhaust on my car. So I guess my question is.... Which exhaust out of those three brands will give me the most power, the best sound (without it sounding like a fart can), and which ones are best for dual exhaust?????

i have the 99 prelude with apexi n1 cat back. I'm dying to trade it with a stock one. It sounded very nice, but also will attract mr popo, so i really wanna go stealth. If you're interested, heat me up!

Any dual exhaust on your car will sound good. With 2 mufflers instead of one will cut the sound in half. If you do get the dual exhaust take a few snap shots or possible video link so we can hear it.
I would suggest the Greddy. They have bigger cans and make less noise with good power.

Ractive Exhaust, Edelbrock, Flowmaster.... all GREAT companies..

ractive?!? i dont think so.
And what is a 4 cyl doing with a dual exhaust. Too much unnecessary weight on an already heavy car, very ricey IMO. Also dual exhasts dont really give more power that a single unit, on top of that you're adding weight.

That's why I'm going single exhaust over stock location. (Lighter weight, Larger Dia., Better flow..)

I have got a Ractive 2.5 cat back bolt on. It is full stainless, sounds great, and gives good power gains.

.. well on a 4 banger i would suggest single exhaust.. i heard that the duals on a 4banger it robs low end power from the motor not 100% sure if thats right or not but its jus what i heard.. IMO i think its a waste of money anyway cuz they are much more expensive..
