The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

for what its going to cost you to delete the secondary cat and resonator you might as well start looking for the ms3 stock exhaust (majority can be had for around 200 bucks) then you get a better sound and still gain some added ponies at the same time
 
Maybe I could just sell you my stock exhaust and then use the money to buy myself a cbe :) lol
 
Wes, those welds are pretty rough, buddy. But not bad for only your 2nd time welding. Like Chris said, it's an art and is a lot harder than it looks. But a trade that is epically awesome. Now buy yourself a welder, I want a cage and custom exhaust for the P5. Muahaha!

In all fairness, I think it looks rougher because you can see the tack welds, and I was stitching the rest together. You can't just drag from one side to the other, the metal will warp like a mofo. See, I learned stuff.

So... check this out...

Pretty fun eh? Makes having asthma a b****.

Typical politics, they're more concerned with the political incorrectness of saying "crazy bad" than actually doing anything about the air. Completely retarded. But that sucks about the air, bro.

Just about everything sounds like crap with an auto trans. Maybe a cat and res delete with stock muffler at least it would flow better.

Sad truth man, but at least you realized it, not like all the pizza delivery guys around me with fart cans on everything making noise for blocks..
 
True Levi, we shall see.

mine was $180 new, from ebay. I was hesitant to buy it but Bernie (not a member) said he didn't have any issues, gave it a shot even though it says it's for the hatchback only and I love it, a little loud but I don't care LOL
 
I've had the protege for 124k miles and 7.5 yrs (brand new) and I've only had 5 people drive the car besides me. I wonder what the ole thing sounds like after all those years...I might have to hand over the keys one day to hear it.

does this mean we have a volunteer to find out if Proteges have rev limiters?

Lol you're not driving my car. I've revved mine up to 7k a few times, but it sounds like the valves are floating above 6500. It's like a very unhappy vtec sound..
 
i found the rev limiter on the test drive. sounded like gran turismo at the starting line. The salesman wasn't impressed.

Love Corksport, My exhaust took me, Chris & Jasen maybe 30 minutes to install (which is good for us), getting the stock one out is a different story. Fit perfect. I've got shifter bushings, brake lines, and i think a couple other things from them
 
HA HA HA, they do @ 7300. top end is 148 MPH (computer controlled).

But thanks to the lack of power, you're drag limited around 130.


Oh... and the rev limiter on the FS-DE is boring to go up against. I've done it a few times on my car while auto-x. The limiter on the MSM is at 7750 and sounds like gun shots going off.

No clue! LOL That would be a lot of research. But idk if I can afford it still, maybe next year.



My interest rates are 0% for the first month, after that it's 9.99% LOL
Lets continue this conversation come tax return time. We should both have a better idea of our financial situations.

Rotary is better. (evil)
 
Ebay speed3 cat back $180?

it's not from a Speed3, Bernie told me it was BBP but when I looked for it I didn't find it... I found another random brand that looked the same as Bernie's. I tried to find it again but couldn't. I have their email, don't know if you want that
