should N1 tilt out?? - Honda Prelude Forum

uncprelude · 07-07-2002, 07:51 PM

i just installed my N1 and it tilts out towards the passenger side a bit. i looked through all the pics i could find but i couldnt tell if thats the way it just is. should there be a tilt or should it be perpendicular to the rear?? btw, I LOVE IT!!! sound, performance, quality, look...all of its great

yeah, TRMs and N1s all do that due to the straight through piping

as long as you're not having any leaks and the performance and sound is good then ur fine

Yes, it should.

Here are some pics of mine:

Is the install hard guys ? How long did it take ? I am going to try to install this after work today, I will only have about 4 hrs to do it, I just need to know how long and what did you face that was hard ? I am quesin' pretty straight through install, just like the system design, mabey about 2 hrs ?

Thanks,
Jay

If you can get the bolts broken it should be a piece of cake. If you have a blow torch heat them up first and they should come out easy.

How long did it take you ? I don't have a blow tourch handy, do I really need it ? i have a 98.I think I will try the install today, see how it goes.

Thanks

Good Idea !! I have one in my back yard next to my bird feeder

i was thinking of something else I have a special pressure lift and will jack it up from the back and block the wheels in the front and back.

slant look is sick. jdm style slanted to the left and up alittle. SICk

akprelude · 07-08-2002, 12:24 PM

While your at it throw some big meaty drag slicks on the back. Just for looks. LOL. Just kidding.

C-Redrum · 07-08-2002, 12:52 PM

yeah it slants out...the trm doesnt slant out though....the n1 is great isnt it, i love how it sounds and how it looks....im getting ready to get a universal 3" n1 muffler for my custom 3" mandrel bent exhaust.....

I installed my APex Dunk Catback in about 30 minutes. It really helps knowing people that have access to a lift.

Good luck and congrats.

Spray some WD-40 on the bolts first and let it sit for a couple of hours at least. Unbolting a HOT exhaust if no fun!!!

it took me a while to install mine...like three hours becuase i didn't really know what i was doing (ways to take the hangers off), and my friend just watched. i think the best way to get the hangers off is to take a flathead screw driver with a round shaft, stick it through the hanger and pull it towards the end, and since its round it will spin and move easier. hmm, that doesn't make any sense when i read over it, but i think you get the idea.

i love my n1!
