Hey peeps i got couple question.

1) so i just got my lude(5thgen 99 sh) couple weeks ago and they came w/ flowmaster exhaust system and i just got pulled over last night becaused of "modified muffler"

is there anyway i can change just the "tip" and put something smaller? imo its too big and its eye catching for cops.

i tried to loosen the "screw" and pulled it, it wont come off idk if welded or something.

this is what i have Link:

1997 - 2001 Honda Prelude 2.2L V-Tech [17336] - $274.68 : Flowmaster Inc. Exhaust Shop, Love That Sound!

note: the muffler itself is NOT "too loud" and i just passed the smog 3 days ago so im not really sure why he pulled me over. guessing becaused its too big?


2) I need to replace my Lights (headlight,and rear corner lights), wat is the good brand for headlights?i want to get "yellow" for high and low beam.dont want to get a cheap one off ebay.

for rear corner lights i need a "amber" one, anyone know where can i get one? my local auto shop only have the clear. and i dont want the cheap ebay ones.

anyone?

thanks

Thats really not that big. Seems like the cop was looking for an excuse.

bogz23

yeh thats what im thinkin too.

but if u see it in person its big. (4inch diameter)checked today

xnixsin

Yeah but my SH had a HUGE coffee can looking custom. Thing stuck out a few inches from the back and was probably 6 inches in diameter (not the hole but the muffler in general)

i see what u saying.
but do you know if the tip glued or something? theres no mark or anything(welded) but wont come off.

any ideas where can i get bulbs?

xnixsin

bring the old bulbs into an auto parts store or something. as for the tip I have no idea... should be welded.

bogz23

yeh i already went at my local store but they dont have yellow for headlight.

See if they can order you some 3000k (yellow) H1 bulbs for your brights and some amber turn bulbs. When you get tail light bulbs make sure they're dual filaments.

ill go ask them. wait for rear corner lights need to be dual filaments?

nimrod8560

My bad. I was tired, lol. Just see if they can order some amber bulbs; they don't have to be dual filaments. I thought you had to change your front turn and you had a tail light out too.

I have the same exhaust on my 99 Honda Prelude and never had a problem with it. It should come off after you loosen the bolt unless the previous owner welded it on the inside.

Yeah right. haha. I think that the cop's logic is not excusable. By the way, you can also change it doing it your self. You can make it small by doing some modifications about it.
