How to install a test pipe on your 7th Gen Honda Accord

For those like me that choose to not wait or even order a straight pipe you can can just take the original cat off gut it out completely remove the honeycomb and you will get the same thing as an aftermarket. Just make sure you add a defouler to keep the engine light off.

[@Zspeed]

That's now the only way to get a straight pipe for this car, because they stopped making aftermarket straight pipes for the Accord!!👍

[@isnowyazn]

@@ZspeedIf you wanna do it the “DIY” way, they sell aftermarket “materials”. The rest is up to you. All I’ll say is that it should be the EXACT same process if you obviously get the matching/proper bolt-on parts. Most people on a budget have been doing this for years. Destroying the OEM cats is a dumb idea, whether you want (or need) to reinstall them for your own reasons or need to go foe state smog emissions testing. Either that, or you can make some “profit”, if you know what I mean… Also, if you have money, just invest into high flow cats. On a car like this, unless you’re seriously boosted with forced induction, you’re gonna losing like 5-10 HP TOPS. Most of the time, you’re gonna be losing out on anywhere from as low as 2 HP to 10 HP tops, depending on what size the exhaust parts are. It’s not a huge difference, unless you have a V6 model and are making 280-300+ WHP.

Great video. Only thing I have to say is I don’t think that accord has any actual vtec as we know it. You don’t get a noticeable volume level change once you get to 4500 rpm. Instead the vtec is placed at 2500, meant for usual highway acceleration, and is used to save gas. You can hear a change in the engine tone right about then, too. As an accord owner I am saddened by this but it is nonetheless true. Until you do a head swap with a tsx head or something, that is.

[@WoodTableGuy]

Helps if you remove the engine cover and exhaust heat shield in the engine bay then you can accually hear the engine

Hey brotha appreciate the video and the useful tips. Just had a question if you had a link for that model, I’ve been looking around and all I can find is the actual muffler ends. Again thanks for the video definitely helped me decide on straight piping my Accord.

[@No_Transitory]

I’ve been looking for this part as well and can’t find it anywhere… any straight pipes I’ve found don’t have any placement for the O2 sensors

[@therealblickem52]

Cant find nothing neither so were all in the same boat bro

[@Slow.S55]

@@No_Transitory If you're gonna run a straight pipe, most chances you're still going to get the check engine light code even if the straightpipe comes with a 02 sensor dongle. You're better of going to any muffler shop and ask them to cut off your catalytic converter and replace it with a piece of pipe, won't cost you over 200$ and labor included. I had to do this not for performance gains but because a thief stole my cat, and I didn't want drive all year with headers only until smog comes up, so I basically run my car straight pipe until smog comes and have them straight pipe it again because I'm not dealing with thieves again and having to buy another expensive cat.

Honda says the actual improvement is closer to 10 horsepower. Additionally, Accord’s four-cylinder engine is equipped with Honda’s i-VTEC valvetrain, which means the valve timing is continually adjusted according to conditions for strong torque over the entire rpm range. So it’s responsive at all engine speeds. Yet it delivers excellent fuel mileage: 24/34 mpg City/Highway with the automatic.
