Prelude
 

Mint looking ride m8 :tiphat:

I sold my Prelude recently to make space for my Z.
You can still see the auction here, which includes a set of pictures of my Prelude.
I have a homepage about my Lude, too, where I kept track of all modifications I made. I have done everything myself, whether ECU hacking, Cam Piston or conrod installations, even bumper paintjob. It was my true DIY project for almost 9 years, starting from bone stock.
When I auctioned the Lude I was spotted by the Lude Generation Forum and invited to give a few write-ups, which you may find in this thread. That's it. I hadn't been active on any Prelude forum ever.

V1H, those are rubber dampers to alleviate vibration and "hiss" from the OEM exhaust. (The pic you posted asking)

Ah interesting. Still not sure how they'd actually work. Coz there's merely a weight suspended on rubber and a weird straight stiff wire poking through a small hole. It looks purposeful but its function is beyond me.
Maybe it acts a kind of counterweight and somehow is engineered to vibrated in sync with the pipe but with a phase delay of Pi, thus cancelling vibration.. a bit like noise cancelling "anti-sound" The wire-through-hole must be limiting the deflection/amplitude of the counterweight vibration, perhaps it makes it more broad-band (less sharp a resonance curve) or keeps the phase delay at Pi
Just speculating here :rolleyes:

Anyone by chance have this exhaust with a BP Turbo?

motordyne or FI? waaaaaaaa

Motordyne Shockwave...

Can you get this without the burnt tips??

Yes, check my first post. I have pics of both the stainless tips and burnt titanium

Ahh ok thanks. I thought that was your previous exhaust.

Alternative Exhaust Tips
 

Hi all,

I am going to replace my Shockwave))) Exhaust tips (4.5" blue rolled Ti) with some alternative ones that I found here:

The above selection fits our 3" tail pipes.
I chose the 4" OD brushed S/S double wall clamp-on style. But they got single-wall and/or weld-on versions, too. The highly polished or matte black versions are beautiful, as well :rolleyes:
The double wall design looks very professional and reminds me a bit of BMW M3 style... just bigger.

Great Review Boost - called Motordyne just now to order, I want to get an exhaust before the summer is over lol. But unfortunately the latest batch has weld issues around the muffler - and they need to be rechecked or even rewelded and won't be shipping for 2 - 4 weeks... ugggg.

:confused:

hi all, looking to get this exhaust from a vendor on here. Can anyone state what's a good shipped price? I've been looking and the lowest I got was around $1700. I swear I saw it for 100 less elsewhere.

^^ Motordyne prices went up. I think $1600-1700 is the best you're going to get. I think Nugen gave me the best price out of the vendors.

Thanks! Strange that prices when up when people had issues with the latest batch...

^^ what issues were these?
