Spent about a full day in total installing the cheapo exhaust. Had to pack it up around midnight the first try because a cheap chinese cast stud wasnt starting properly. Second day went better with new hardware. The fitment could be better but for the price you cant beat it, the car doesn't stink like exhaust.
Believe it or not its a bit louder and more fatigue inducing than the straight pipe dumping near the rear wheel! I think the bigger piping and odd muffler that resonates like mad has done more harm than good lol.
I ordered a walker stock SE twin outlet muffler and I'm gonna cut that crap buzz can off! I think the third time will be the charm, this stock muffler looks beefy. I don't mind the raspyness but the volume is way too intense, the ebay muffler is just a can with what looks like a woven flex pipe inside, it MAKES noise not muffles it.
Also as of yesterday my strut assemblies are together. I ordered new top hats, stops, boots, and bushings and threw them together with a rented spring compressor. TIEN H.tech springs, KYB Excel-G shocks, with KYB/MOOG assortment of other involved parts. Didn't need a compressor on the rear assemblies lol, just press down on them while standing, fronts were a bit of a bitch.
I have a big stack of boxes for my Honda, I decided to spend a little more for the luxury of not spending hours torching and pressing bushings, decided that polyurethane isnt what I'm going for with this car, and that quality rubber is the way to go. This is an SE model and I just drive about, not racing it in any way, I think poly would take away from what this one is supposed to be, a luxury trim Accord.
I've got damn near everything you can replace underneath a CB7, 9/10ths of it is MOOG the rest is Beck Arnley and two trailing arms from Mevotech.
The car should ride like a cloud man, at least compared to its current state that is. Hoping to sort out the caliper confusion soon.
