FINALLY got the JDM H22 exhaust finished
I've been waiting like 3 weeks for the H22 downpipe for my JDM H22 swap. It finally came in today. Everyone told me the exhaust manifold from the H22 would not bolt up the stock H23/F22 cat and exhaust, and that I would need to have an exhaust shop weld the F22 flange onto the H22 downpipe. Well, I had no such problems suprisingly. The H22 downpipe bolted into place with no modifications needed what-so-ever. I really can't explain WHY this is, but hey. . .I'm not complaining.
I havent transfered the oxygen sensor over yet, so the big hole left open in the downpipe still makes the exhaust sound loud and raspy.
Initlial test drives were very pleasing, the car pulls GREAT. I havent done any standing start runs (because my tires are reallllly bare), but I'm in love with the 1-2 shift!!
