This week on Money Pit, the Miata gets a new cat-back exhaust while Zach talks us through the pros and cons of an aftermarket exhaust AND how to install one with basic hand tools! Was it worth it??

Thus far during Covid lockdown I've finished my lifted 2004 Subaru Forester build, to include header back exhaust, full interior insulation, full aftermarket audio, and full clearance of the new beefcake wheels and tires. I also cleaned up some rust and coated the wheel wells to minimize sound from the tires entering the cabin. Lastly I need to score a new set of headlights and retrofit some HID's in there. Then onto building my motor in my WRX and completing a tune up on the wife's AutoX build. Then I can finally start to modify my S1000RR!!!!

It's not just the valve timing, but also valve lift, hence why the big power increase. Older systems took their time to engage, that's why the torque curve always comes down before spiking back up. This was solved with the introduction of the smoother yet no less effective i-VTEC.

Getting an aftermarket exhaust for a car that is otherwise stock for the performance benefit is a complete waste of time and money. With just replacing the rear section you absolutely nothing but looks and sound. To get performance you need to replace the complete thing, and as he points out in the video to make power gains you'll need to change the geometry for it, which actually decreases your low end torque because you just can't have it both ways. The only (minor) performance gains people can get throughout the rev range are by actually removing the catalytic converter(s) and mufflers but then it's not apples to apples comparison because you've technically made the car illegal to drive on the public road.

Stainless steel does not rust or react with salt. The problem is, that it's never stainless steel - it's rust resistant steel. True stainless steel costs A LOT!

@Eric-zs6rd 4 жыл бұрын

@@MrJObajobas What specific steels do you think are rust proof? The only rust proof steel I know of is H1 which contains no carbon, it is a precipitation hardened steel that contains nitrogen instead of carbon and does not rust chemically. It is not in any exhaust system out there.

@DamnedSilly 4 жыл бұрын

@@Eric-zs6rd Which is kinda funny, because without carbon it's not really steel. It's another alloy of iron that should be referred to differently.

@mrs_radrod 4 жыл бұрын

The other thing to consider is that heat makes the metals more reactive. So even though 9/10 times stainless is corrosion resistant to brine, on a hot exhaust the corrosion resistance can be completely negated.

Loud pipes save lives? Except they don't. People don't hear you coming, they hear you going. And for what it's worth, based on what limited studies have been done on accident data, loud exhausts are typically OVER-REPRESENTED in wrecks. Now, correlation is not causation, but it probably does go to show that people putting these exhausts on are not super concerned with safety...

@DjimiVidZ 4 жыл бұрын

@@EddieJorgeDrummer in Portugal all the modification are ilegal. There is just a couple of thing you can use "legal" but is very expensive... For exemple u can homologate tyres and wheels in some cars if you pay.... But 99% of the modification are ilegal and no possible to homologate... There is a big business in Portugal, because all the car parts from aftermarket you pay TAX(23%!!!!!!!!!!) and you cannot homologate them, so the cops are constantly watching for all the mods... Even a straight pipe. And the fact we are a small country, it's very easy to they meet you again on the road and they already know what you got on the car....of course there is a LOT modify cars in Portugal 90% civics and diesel ibizas. I'll recommend you to watch Yuri Francês channel on KZfaq. There is a lot good projects here (civic 1500hp from RPMMOTORSPORT) but... Is impossible to use as dayli.

I’ve been doing my exhaust on a budget straight piping it but today i installed a super 10 series flow master muffler on my 95 Toyota Celica GT convertible and it sounds pretty great. I had to wire it up though since i didn’t exactly have anything to welded to the muffler to put through the exhaust hangers and they don’t exactly make a bunch of aftermarket parts for a celica but i’m loving it and hopefully i’ll be able to make it what i’d like to in the future.

The trick to freeing up your exhaust is that you have to also free up your intake! A freed up exhaust does nothing if the intake is restrictive. Same the other way around. A freed up intake does nothing if the exhaust is restrictive! You get the best bang for your buck if you do both the intake and exhaust. This is where you will see your best increase in power and performance.
