Lee49645 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 hey guys i was getting around to thinking that it was time to try something new in my accord and people around have said to try exhaust first and so i searched up this set of mufflers for my accord. you think its a good deal? I have a completely unmodded V6 2000 Accord. My budget isnt very high and im not sure if i want to go all the way with fancy performance parts. I've read around and people said to go with Greddy but they were simply too exspensive. Im not the type that would go straight for power but more like just minor mods. (ie: kits, spoiler, lights, exhaust and window tint) I dont know. Anyways ive been looking at something like this on ebay for a few days and i still dont know if its worth getting.

airjordan223 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 i would stay away from ebay brand mufflers. are you looking for just a muffler or a cat back system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee49645 Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 i would prefer just the mufflers.... i dont think i would know how to install a catback correctly even though i went out and bought one of those Chilton manuals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 well if you buy just the muffler, sometimes you'll need to weld. if you buy a catback, you just unbolt the old one and bolt up the new one. as long as you can get under your car and have some tools, you should be able to do it.

Lee49645 Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 o really? i thought it was the other way around...... >.< if thats the case then can you suggest a place or brand for a mediocre catback system? 200 or less possibly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 ehh 200 or less wont get you anything good especially for your car since its a dual exhaust i think. on that budget you will probably have to go with just mufflers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee49645 Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 i wouldnt mind spending a little more if i have to. wat would be the best deal for each? i dont wanna spend too much on exhaust cuz i wanna get kits and rims too my max budget is around 1000 so i dont know... >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 rims, body kit, and exhaust for under a grand? not gonna happen. also if you get rims you should probably get suspension as well to get rid of the wheel gap. first i would say get rims and lower your car. then use the rest of the money and save up for an exhaust. here's a greddy exhaust for your car. theres two options, i dont know which one you have, one is $369 and the other is $522 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee49645 Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 ow.... >.< okay i guess i'll go for the rims and suspension. is this what i need to lower them? Springs I dont what to do about rims cause im always looking at Enkei rims which i think are usually for Evos (too many racing games) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 i have the eibach sportline kit and really like them. enkei makes rims for whatever car they will fit on. check out wheelmax.com, wheelsnext.com and tirerack.com to see a bunch of different rims.

airjordan223 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 one thing always leads to another, thats why modding a car takes so much time. id do rims and suspension first, then exhaust, then brakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee49645 Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 i see.... ima keep lookin for some rims then..... until then i'll post an update if i do pick one. Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99HondaAccord Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 You're entering into arguably the most expensive hobby there is. It aint cheap. If you go with rims, you should probably upgrade the brakes VERY soon after. On top of having your calipers look bad, it will be harder to stop. Increasing the weight of your wheels is the worst place to increase weight. Its called "rotating mass" and it sucks. Consider upgrading your brakes fairly soon after upgrading your rims...assuming you like your accord??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That depends on what size rims he gets cause that car probably has 15s or 16s stock depending on the package. So if he only goes up about one or 2 sizes like 17s he should be ok with stock brakes, unless the rims are excessively heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffro Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I think the v6 stock rims are 16's. Mine are 15's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
