(cont'd) Mandrel Vs. Crush bend *pics of my catback* - Honda Prelude Forum

So, earlier today, I asked about which was better mandrel vs. crush bend, I went around today, looking for prices, best price I found was 300 for the full catback with muffler, its an Immitation 5zigen fireball muffler, and I opted for the 2.5" mandrel bent piping, I felt somewhat of a difference driving it, but maybe thats due to the fact that I didnt have a muffler before, here some pics http://community.webshots.com/user/vtecnlude

Practice your photo taking skills. The blurry colors that looked somewhat like an exhaust looked nice though.

straight aluminum piping? no coat

is there a resonator?

pricing seems on the mark.

if there is no coating, the flanges and piping will start to rust within a few months. they all do anyway.

if the system doesn't have a resonator that also lessenss the cost and makes the exhaust louder.

like i always say.
it's always nice when you can buy the apexii ws full cat-back for $350 shipped.

straight aluminum piping, yea

No resonators, I didnt want em

yup, it was 80 for the exhaust, 200 for the piping, and like 18 for tax

rust eh? well, they welded the whole thing, they even welded it to the catalytic, I saw my friends N1 piping, and it was black, I wanted to take it off, and spray it with ceramic coated heat resistent paint.

350 shipped for a WS? I dotn like the canister to much, and I wasnt gonna buy a cat-back, my dad gave me money to buy cloth for a cruise we're going on, and I ended up spending it on the catback

I got new pics up
