ok guys heres the idea i have. I am in the process of trying to get a Spyder body kit for an Accord which I am gonna have modded to my car. Heres an example of the kit: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=4562427369
ok well if u look at the rear bumper of the kit u notice it has two holes for mufflers. so i figure i need to redo my exhaust why not go for it. I have a 1990 Camry with a JDM 3sfe. heres the setup i want: new header to high flow cat. converter then to 2.25" pipe which splits into 2 2.25" pipes and each end in a muffler something like http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=7987641868
so what do u guys think abt this idea? i know some probly think its rice but if it goes with the kit and sounds good why would it be ricey? also how would this setup perform? would it keep enough back pressure to keep the power of the car or even increase it some? thanks for any input guys. later.

2.25" pipe should work out pretty good. I used 2.5" pipe with my turbo 3S-FE.

Only thing I would add to your setup is a resonator.

would this fiberglass bodykit be easy to fit on to the gen 2? i heard urethane ones should be better...or doesnt it matter?

mine is 2.25 but single, doesnt sound ricey. a nice low hum is what i got.

i actually heard that u cant rly mod urethane body kits. i think they should b able to mod fiberglass body kits pretty easily tho. i hope im right bc im abt to buy that... anybody have any input on this one?

you cant work with polyurethane to MOD (as in cut bits and re mould)

to mod FRP you just cut and reapply layers, messy work but simple.

just from what i've heard, but thos kits on ebay are really sheap knoc-offs, they wil probabaly casue more trouble then they are worth, meaning you may have to do alot of extra work to get them to fit AND look decent.

just what i've heard tho.

also i have have a spyder kit, and i hated the second hole for the dual mufflers, so we just went and patched the hole on the kit, and it looks awesome, if you're getting the kit professionaly installed then your bodywork man should have experience with fiberglass and it's an easy job to just pacth the hole.

i actually have a picture of mine, i'll post it up.

well the kit i bought wasnt from an ebay store it was from an actual person with actual pics of the kit. i was pretty sceptic of the ebay stores as well. that does look good. I do have to decide whether i want to try the dual exhaust or to just patch that. my exhaust has a leak in it right now and i have to work on it anyway so im gonna do a whole new exhaust.
