Skunk2 also installed and some questions~

edrhee83 · 11-11-2006, 08:51 PM

I just installed Skunk2 exhaust and whenever I start the engine up, it makes clink or click noise. Anyone else have this kind of problems?

shawn-o · 11-11-2006, 08:58 PM

exhaust

***ryryninja*** · 11-11-2006, 09:44 PM

nope.. havent had any probs since I got mine.. check all of your bolts make sure everything is tight...

had mine for about a month now

edrhee83 · 11-12-2006, 12:52 AM

I tell u what..it is LOUD!! I might have to put on the silencer so that my neighbors dont complain..since I come home late every night..
I got the bolts from Cat out..if u wanna do this, u will have to remove the cat heat shield. Then u will be able to put the bolts that came with the exhaust.
Here are some pictures and videos. I recorded with my phone..sorry for not the best sound quality..

WTF is the white smoke? That doesn't look good. Do you have any other mods?

edrhee83 · 11-12-2006, 01:06 AM

I got Injen CAI and Skunk2 Exhaust.

water vapor?

edrhee83 · 11-12-2006, 01:48 AM

possibly...it sprinkled little bit when i was installing it..

***ryryninja*** · 11-12-2006, 08:49 AM

I don't know if its the video quality or not.. but your car sounds a little deeper and louder than mine. Must be the added CAI, we'll see on Monday when I get mine in.

Great vids though

It is probably the packing getting set. On my Medallion Touring, it smoked for about two drives and smelled like crap for about 6 drives. I would have been worried except that the paper work said it does that.

NBP~FG2 · 11-12-2006, 10:14 AM

I think the white smoke was just water vapor. But the exhaust sounds great. Does anyone have any pics of the exhaust installed and what it looks like under the car? If so can you post them, Im just wondering how this is routed under the car.

adamhoud · 11-12-2006, 06:26 PM

No pics of it under the car, but the routing is almost identical, fitment is perfect IMO.

edrhee83 · 11-12-2006, 11:18 PM

Yes fitment is exactly the same. Basically it's stock Si stock exhaust system with bigger pipes and bigger exhaust

The white smoke is normal. I had it on my evo2 and then the skunk2. It will go away in a few days...so will the smell

i kinda liked the smell. smelled like burnt sesame oil.

btw, the skunk2 exhaust sounds absolutely awesome. it's pure orgasm when you VTEC; it echoes loud as hell and fills the whole surrounding environment. i initially thought i would take it off after i discovered how loud it was; it was obnoxious, esp after living with the well-mannered stock one for a month. but it grew on me and now i love it. there are parts of my car though that have now started rattling ever since i installed it (rear window, dash on passenger side). i think the sheer vibration from the exhaust sound loosened parts of the car.

It does sound awsome doesn't it :)

When I first got it (I got the first one made :) ) I was in love. When I drove out of the lot I was like "OMFG!!!!" I drive around for a while...a long while lol until my mom was calling me home

Oh Yea, u fall in love with this thing more and more as you drive. At first I thought it was way too loud then now, I just drive slowly in residential neighborhood. BUt when I am on the main road, everyone will hear the Vtec.
