cant wait for my Thermal!

jkoc · Mar 29, 2001

i keep playing THATPRELUDEGUY's thermal stealth exhaust mpeg clip, simulated with adding some low-end bias on my home stereo (because i KNOW the recording must have lost some low end frequencies).

if it sounds the way i altered the sound, sweeet. hehehehe

man i can't WAAAAAIT til my thermal arrives!

i've no idea how this exhaust will affect performance.... as long as i feel some sort of butt-dyno improvement in the high range rpm, i'll smile. as for sound, thats what worries me the most. i dont wanna be a hypocrite that ridiculed other cars' farty crap noise and then end up having a farty crap sounding car myself!

OK say it with me....

Thermal does NOT sound farty
Thermal does NOT sound farty
Thermal does NOT sound farty
Thermal does NOT sound farty
Thermal does NOT sound farty

Keep saying it til you have it on the car and you'll be fine

TRUST ME

Oh yeah he'll do a sound clip of your car now!!! Sure he will

And yes I lowered the car...I'm using TEIN HA's dropped about 1.5-1.75" never measured it as in before and after so I'm not sure how much it's lowered.

where did you guys buy yours???

I went to that mantaray motor thing place and saw one for 94-97 SH/Non-SH...will that fit?

Also, manchester honda has it for the same years (I think)....but someone said that Thermal ONLY makes the "Stealth" exhaust for preludes....manchester doesn't have one for 5g preludes under "Stealth"

where'd you guys get yours?

I got mine from Manchester Honda but I called in so they would send the right one for sure. As for the one that says SH/Non-SH that's most likely the axle back since they would be the same for both cars. The axle back is supposed to be much quieter from what Thermal told me.

575 sounds like too much to me.

Yup too much...Manchester Honda has them for $498 plus $22 S&H. Someone posted that carparts has them as well and with the coupon it was like $450 shipped but I don't know all that much about that price.

jkoc · Mar 30, 2001

by the way 850CAD is 540USD according to last night's conversion rate.

so i think i got a good deal.

cant wait for my Thermal!
