Installing a Yonaka Catback Exhaust on my CL9 Accord

Why thank you

Lovely intro, Love the exhaust! Since you do have a knack for odd comparison video, any chance you could do a comparison with the cu2 accord ?

Got it in the pipelines!

Great montage, sounds/looks like you'll be keeping the CL9 for a while. If you don't mind me asking, where did you buy this and how much did it cost with tax?

[@KiwiCarLife]

Plan to keep it for another year or so. Replacement will probably be an s2k or something a bit more special... I dunno

It sounds really good mate. Had the skunk2 catback on my cl7r, unfortunately it was too loud for my liking so I returned to stock

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeah I've heard the skunk2 ones are pretty loud. Really happy with the sound of mine

[@hello-do9vl]

hi bro, do you have any photos or audio clips of the skunk2 exhaust on the cl7? Couldnt find anyone that has a skunk2 catback (I've ordered one and hopefully will be installing it soon in a couple days) hopefully it isn't too loud that neighbours would start filing a noise complaint 😂

Your editing is amazing! My CL9 sounds very similar with plm headers, high flow cat, resonator and dual mufflers.

[@KiwiCarLife]

Cheers man

[@305tyrone4]

I was gonna get PLM headers for my US 2005 Accord. How hard was the install? Also which cat/resonators and mufflers did you go with? You have any videos?

[@KiwiCarLife]

Find my accord playlist and find the exhaust videos and that should answer your questions. Exhaust setup is plm header, relatively easy to install, just time consuming. No cat, goes into yonaka cat back. Very easy to install if you have the car on a lift. Just three bolts and a few hangars

[@joelmcfield1048]

Did anyone else see that check engine light?

[@KiwiCarLife]

Could've been in the tachometer shot, I used the "test mode" to get a consistent tachometer rising effect and dubbed over the sound of the exhaust. In the test mode it both makes all the needles rise from 0 to max and flashes all the dash lights. Hence why the engine light might have shown a little in that shot...

Hello does it affect the car performance or it make more better ? And also does doing these all affect the car fuel average or no ? And any check light comes because of this ?

Adds around 5hp max, mainly for extra noise, won't affect fuel economy and there shouldn't be a check engine light

Yeah it'll certainly be louder, won't make any more power really tho if that's what you're after. Need a header for thst

[@KamilKamil-xp8jv]

So theoretically: I have resonator off, short ram installed, cat removed and basic aftermarket exhaust installed... If I order only silencers, will it give me that sound? I also check company like Magnaflow and looks like it has more bass and popping litlle bit. Just for sound in my case, would changing silencers do the job?
