Dual 3.5" Muffler too big?
Hey guys, I have a dual 3.5 muffler that I want to install on my 96 f22a. SOmeone in one of the posts said that it is too big for my car, IS it really too big? Why? IF I install it, what are going to be the consequences?

Yeah, it really is. That motor isn't even high performance. It's like 140hp I believe. The weakest of the Prelude engines. Your engine is also in the 2.2 CL and the 94-97 Accord.
Don't get one 3.5" exhaust, let alone 2. Stick with 60mm (like 2.25")

ok, the thing is, I already bought the muffler, and was even going to get it installed today, but there were a change of plans. So is it going to rob me of HP? or what will happen if I install it?

I don't think there will be many negative consequences... the quesiton is: how many benefits are there? It shouldn't hurt much, so if you really want to - go ahead!
cons I see:
-could make an aweful noise
-I tend to like stock stuff more
-possible more heavy - not a big deal
-void warrenties? eh whatever.
If you think it's worth it to have a custom exhuast and to have the originality factor, then no harm done I'd say.

You're going to rob your prelude of the already lacking low end power that it has.
Free flowing exhausts usually help the top end, but there's not much top end in that engine either.
My recommendation is, before you waste any money on the car, if you want to go faster, just save up for a H22 swap. The F-series in the preludes is not worth working on.

lets just say that my dad's chevelle has a 622 c.i. big block with dual 3.5 inch exhaust, so if you think you need that much exhaust, go for it. but it will be ridiculous and overkill.
