cam for J30A4?
 

Is there a camshaft available to help increase HP in my J30A4? Will a cam from a different model car work or are there aftermarket ones?

What about catalytic convertors or bypasses? I live in Indiana and dont have inspections....

Exhaust that doesnt cost 600 dollars or sound like a "fart can"?

Sorry for all the questions, but Im new to Honda cars...

Cam: they should be available, if not then a decent machine shop can change the cam angles for you

Cat converters, plenty available or just get a good piece of flex pipe and remove the cat altogether....

Exhuast: Apexi World Sport II is a great sound or Flowmaster makes a LOUD exhaust that's not fart-canish either....

Welcome to the forum and keep em coming!

For a cat, try Random Technologies. They have a pretty good selection, and if they dont have one for your car, you should be able to find a universal cat that will work.

Apexi WS2 is really quiet, but its a nice hp boost. There are a few people on here who have it and love it. You might also try a Greddy Evo 2. Its pretty loud, but not ricey loud.

Arghhh.....Apexi WS2 mufflers for 7th gens are only for coupes![:@]

Any good solid exhaust options for the 7th gen 4 CYL 4DR?

there are some 7th gen owners who prefer borla over apexi w2

You could always just buy the muffler and have a shop do a custom mandrel bent piping job for ya.

Yeah....that's what I plan on doing. Say, what's the difference between these two mufflers? I know one says TURBO, the other NA. My car does not have a turbo...but can I still use it? Ones a 60 mm inlet, the other an 80mm (turbo)

How much would the mandrel piping cost?

RE: cam for J30A4?
 

You can still use the 80mm inlet one, it just means you will need 80mm pipe the whole way back. Its going to reduce backpressure quite a bit, maybe more than you want with a naturally aspirated engine.

Im also curious as to what it would cost to get mandrel bent pipe at a shop. I have been meaning to call around to some local shops and get a rough idea, but...Im lazy lol.

RE: cam for J30A4?
 

then 60mm it is...hey poser, if you have any suggestions go to my "EGAD" thread...I don't wanna hijack this thread any longer.

thanks! :)

03 sleeper, i say forget a turbo, slap a k20 head on there if you wanna go turbo and mess with the internals to get added power. N/A ftw!
