The cats are the best resonators on this car.

You ever wonder where these manufacturers buy their cats from? The last few I've "tested" looked like they were welded together in some third world country backyard shed!

I like the exhaust work Evil. Your boys do some nice fabrication work. Now I want one, so I'm blaming you when my wife complains.

Since installing a header,and 2 1/2" b pipe and removing the cat and I have had to add a resonated cat delete down pipe a second resonator, and an exhaust control valve to lower the sound enough to avoid being labeled a ricer or hassled by city cops.... Having a straight through muffler with a 4" diameter core and outlet lowered the pitch of the tone but did nothing to the volume... I can take it easy on the throttle with the electronic throttle controller in the EC5 setting with the valve fully open with out a hassle but the noise between 60 and 80MPH will drive you crazy after about 10 minutes... Anything over 85 is music and higher is orgasmic.

here's some clip from my iphone... so bear with them. I will shoot a few in HD soon

YouTube - Honda FIT GE8 - Custom CM Racing B-Pipe + Tanabe Medalion Touring



@TC: 2.5" dia. pipe are huge but then again, you're boosted... so I guess they're just fine.

That sounds really good. I was expecting more of a "rasp" with such a small engine.

Great work!

Evil, when you film it again in HD, could you please get some video from directly behind the vehicle (a few feet away), and include some idling along with a few mid-rpm revs? Thanks ... much appreciated.

+1

But Evil, that really does sound great. What does the butt dyno tell you? Did you lose anything in first and second gear?

I want to say no but honestly, I can't hardly tell the difference but I can feel the engine more than ready to open up and let lose when you want it to. I think the choice of the pipe diameter is spot on. it compliments the top fuel intake very nicely.

Klasse Act was able to check out my FIT and talked to the fabricator last Saturday at the Fizz meet. We were hoping KA took our offer for taking it for a spin next time I guess...

Yes but still figuring out on how to approach this thing... I'm happy on how the Fit responded well with the my intake/b-pipe/axle-back setup.

Sorry guys, I kept myself of the shop for days now... got struck by the flu bug When I get the resonated b-pipe and down/front pipes all done, I'll post pricing.

I'm hoping to get 5 buyers to get us all going... so here's hoping

What are the weight savings with this set up vs OEM? No guesstimates if possible

I'm interested...but I'd be more interested in something made out of aluminum or Ti for weight reduction. If you can get your shop to bend aluminum (AND MARK) the tubes, I could get someone local to weld it it for me.

Just remove the B pipe and axle back. Ultimate weight reduction The weight lose from constant carbon monoxide exposure is an added bonus.
