How does the sport exhaust muffler different from the stock muffler?
(except they look different)
Is the sound from the muffler different?

 

there is alittle difference, but not much, atleast yet, mine hasn't quite burned in yet, onyl been on the car since tuesday, and haven't driven it very much since, but it does as of right now hav ea nice low tone to it, nowhere near being loud and raspity.

 

at that price of almost $300 id rather just get a local muffler shop to put me on a custom exhaust..

 

True, but it's wise to get it at the time of purchase of the vehicle, then it'll seem alot less in the long run, since your paying for it over time, and you get to put it on right away while paying to own it, something like that.

 

it looks kinda odd because the pipe is like all narrow with a tip all the sudden

 

Except then you're paying interest on the muffler, which is no good. I'd rather not pay that interest, as I can get higher returns on that money somewhere else. I can delay putting parts on if it means that I can invest the money I would have spent and end up with the ability to buy more parts.

 

My theory is though, hey it under warranty for 3 years or 36k miles, so interest might not be a bad thing after all, but again that's just my point of view.

 

True. Personally I'd rather invest it - GMAC 2-yr maturity bonds are looking verrrry nice right now

 

I would like to hear a sound comparison between the OEM and HFP Sports Muffler...

 

Does HFP Sports Muffler increase the horsepower of the fit?
I really want too listen the sound between the OEM and HFP Sports Muffler.
Can anyone that have a HFP Sports Muffler record the sound and post it on the web?
Thanks

 

I doubt that HFP muffler give any HP gain, it's just the muffler is different, not even a catback system, now if Greddy or HKS come out with a catback, I would bet my $$ on those quality aftermarket parts...hopefully we can have more options soon...I also wanted to see AEM spit out some CAI for Fit soon...

 

if i knew how to do sound bits, i would, but i have no clue how to, sorry.

 

I'm curious about this too, but would wonder why Honda Factory Performance would put out a sport muffler with no HP gain.

 

Ok just for the Heck of it we'll say it give's maybe 1-2 HP, lol, ok does this answer that question, lol.

 

Well, does the Civic HFP body kit make the car faster or handle better? No. HFP is about image, not performance.

 

If I had to give a benefit to having a 109hp motor and a curb weight of under 2500lbs, it would probably be that it doesnt take as much HP to be noticable as it would on a heavier higher powered car. So I would say anything about 5whp should be pretty noticable at 3500rpm and up.

 

BS, it does too, lol, j/p.

 

which is why i can't wait to be able to either mod this motor, or just shoe horn a K20, or K25 into the engine bay.

 

Not even 1 HP...the whole system stays very restrictive, it's really about looks and that stainless factor..

 

if only we had 2 cars to test this out on eh, and a dyno.
