Typhoon : 1992 Accord LX

[carracr625]

Hey man, nice ride. Clean & understated. The way I like 'em! Do you have any pics of your car with exhaust installed? I was checking out my options for exhausts, and the magnaflow looks like a good option for me. I was just wondering how it looks installed. Also, how does it sound? Loud? Subtle?

[typhoon]

OK, I got a pic posted of the muffler installed.

I think it looks good. Not totally stealth, but not rice either.

The sound is quiet at idle.
Not bad at a cruising RPM.
But damn - It roars above 4000k

like the exhaust. your car is kinda on the sneaky side. good stuff. later.

[carracr625]

Nice...the exhaust is just what I'm looking for. Thanks for the pic. Keep up the good work!

[carracr625]

I see on your cardoamin page that you have had it on the dyno. What kind of #'s did you put out?

[typhoon]

I'm going to King Motorsport's Dyno day in about 2 weeks, for my "after bolt-ons" runs. I will post the chart when I get it.

[typhoon]

Updated with Dyno #s. Didn't post the chart because the baseline vs. mods overlay graph looks confusing. Speed governor kicked in at 120 in 4th after mods, so had to do post-mods pull in 3rd gear.

During the bodywork-

Did tweaking the fuel pressure provide any gains?

VERY nice car BTW, simple and clean!

Only did 2 dyno sessions of 3 pulls each as they are expensive. So I don't know what the individual mods contributed to the gains. Only know before and after.
The adjustable fuel pressure just insures that your AF mix is neither too rich nor too lean. old cars with an untouched fuel system can run lean when sucking a lot of air.

bump for a stock dyno chart. Nothing to brag about, just might be interesting to you stock f22a1 owners.

Long story short... I was thinking that I was getting a rust free car at the time, *sigh*

Yikes, sounds like my story. I can only imagine what my car must look like underneath there! My car was originally from NY. The wheels are pretty weathered along the outer edge/lip though there isn't any bubbles or rust behind my rear wheels/fenders. There were a few tiny bits of rust forming in some paint chips the original owner never touched up (which I have tried to remedy on my own for all that's worth). Your car sure looks good now, though.
