    New Muffler

    Quite quiet here lately so time to show my new do-it-yourself exhaust.

    Very nice job! The 3-pipe setup goes with your obviously tricked out car. How does it sound? Do you get rear-end steering when you put the pedal down?

    Honda Lawnmower, bought used in 2003, caught fire and melted in 2005.

    Cool, it looks like a mad max style trombone off the car 1st time I've seen a 3 pipe and great to see something a bit different. Are you noticing a performance and sound improvement?

    Now here's a seriously bad idea for a muffler

    JUST listed on Yahoo.jp and yours (including the bumper) for a mere 65000 yen

    Thanks guys.

    It's a little louder but low and deep toned, with a perceived slight power boost.

    To save $ I used some of the original tubing (surprised it was twin-walled).

    Total was under $100us as welding is free at my employment.

    Thanks for sharing that Japhoo one Steve, that's a shocker! Still made me chuckle.

    "with a perceived slight power boost"

    Very honest description, it can be hard to judge and I think we can all kid ourselves at times Still looks good and money well spent.

    Proximity sensor for backing up/parking. All those extra lights were forced upon me because the authorities won't accept the factory lights (JIS) as safe!
