Well this weekend i was about to get me exhaust all welded up. Big thanks to Larry Ledger in Gordonsville VA for the work. It went pretty smoothly, the one major hang up was getting the piping to work with my muffler, but it feel into place. Here are the pics

Before on the left = me going Thor on it. The fix on the Right

All done

The down pipe mocked up

Putting on the nex flex pipe

After the first pass of welding

Downpipe to Test pipe

Completed downpipe and test pipe

Completed B Pipe minus the hangers

V band on the B pipe

If anybody needs any fabracation or powdercoating done. Send me a PM and i will send the info for the guy who did my exhaust. Great guy and i love his work

Good work, but I would ditch the traction bar long before I put a giant bump right in the middle of the downpipe. There has got to be a way to route the exhaust by the bar without doing that

**Spec R** · 11-02-09, 01:49 PM

yeah...the hump is easily eating up 30-40whp assuming 300whp

Civic2Scooby · 11-03-09, 03:25 AM

that is one hell of a restriction with that "hump"

HatchVX · 11-03-09, 09:58 AM

I really dont think i will lose that much power by the hump. If so i will mess with it later.

Running925 · 11-04-09, 05:11 PM

what the fawk is this about.. throw it away, you would flow better with a 1inch pipe than this mess.

Running925 · 11-04-09, 05:13 PM

there was plenty of room in there to use two 45's to get through there, rather than the hump..

YUCK

**Bumnah** · 11-04-09, 07:49 PM

You're ruined everything with that hump!

HatchVX · 11-05-09, 10:57 AM

i had no extra pipe when this was done, had to deal with what i had, i will rework it later. For now it is what it is.

HatchVX · 11-10-09, 01:42 AM

Here is my hatch all done.

Here is my battery relocation. It will change up once i get my yellow top battery. It uses a 100 amp breaker, and a 200 amp cut off switch.

The only thing you see from the outside

Here is my Version 1 FTW kit.

It will look alot better once i get the valve cover and charge pipes done.

You should re-paint your valve cover

once i get some green i will be getting that and the Intercooler pipes powdercoated.

On a side note, i found my boost leak, It turns out that the BOV did not have a spring installed in. So i put the spring in it and drove home, With the EBC turned off it creeped up to 25.6 PSI. It did that in the span of 2000 rpms. About 800 of lag and 1200 of HOLY SHIT. When i got home i noticed that the idle was high, it was that i forgot to put the Hoses back on the wastegate. So it didn't creep, it was unregulated boost. Now i have set to about 10 PSI. Still working with the EBC (Greedy Profect) Im liking this ALOT. i can tell the difference that traction bars give the car. Like my Brother said, the hump in the down pipe is my traction control. Now i have to save up and get it tuned.
