Gotta say, the jack/breaker bar combination is rather ingenious.
+UndergroundTrev Slowly trying to break loose a stuck blot like that has a much greater chance of stripping the heads. It's better to hit the breaker bar with a hammer, the quick force will break it loose with less chance of stripping the head. I've never had problems with bolts that way, even rusted out ones as long as you soak them in penetrating oil and/or PB Blaster.
he is brilliant!
I honestly and of firmly believe if I did this I would have had less of a chance of breaking off a stud but I guess that was my mistake
@@AdmiralRustyShackleford good advice!
That breaker bar technique was genius, must remember that if I find a stubborn bolt under my car..
This is hands down my favorite exhaust on the integra. Did this project back in January. Trying to find a similar catback for my RSX
Anthony Baron think it’s worth the $450 it costs now? When this video was made a couple years ago it was priced at $250.!
I like it thinking beyond a typical engineer and using a floor jack to brake loss nuts. nice! making the impossible possible
cobra454tim So many problems with this comment.
such as?
break or brake?
cobra454tim Well if you want to know...? "Brake" is an issue. "Loss" instead of loose. Youve got a few other grammatical errors including some double spacing. I was actually commenting on the idea that you think hes "thinking beyond a typical engineer". An engineers job is to find new ways to do things. Engineers are paid to think outside the box and rework traditional ideas. So your comment was sort of redundant and misplaced. Unless you were trying to say that he is thinking beyond a typical mechanic... In which case you would still be wrong because this is well known trick of the trade around shops.
Justaguyyoutubin I was using speak to text.....Engineers, I have to deal with them every day as a Mechanic. He is, however an Engineer doing something mechanical....so....
Awesome video! I am loving the "Project Integra" series! Keep it up!
Thanks! Doing my best to work on it. NEED. MORE. TIME.
I'm loving the Integra videos!
JonWarAll same it still hasn’t died down yet I am still watching this video 4 years later haha a little bit because it was on my recommended but still
This Project Integra series was a great idea. I love seeing the test results. Can't wait.
its great seeing you putting the theory into practice ! the use of the jack to losen the bolts was true genius too ! magic as always!
Excellent video been waiting a while and it was worth it.
dude i love your videos im no gear head but i know my way around a block i like how you explain more on how stuff works and the reasoning behind it man thanks for all you for all i have learned from your videos man keep up the good work man
Its nice to see that your project is coming along well! Awesome job!
I just want to say thanks for the videos! It's defiantly helped me a lot! Live the project integra series!
i just wana thank u for this video. first time ever installing a cat-back an gotta say it was easier than i thought. keep in mind i did this on my own just by watching this video. keep the videos coming, very informative as always.
watching this vid reminded me of how excited i was with my civic type r when i got my catback exhaust installed. i can still rmb how my heart raced when i first heard my car's new voice
Thank you for taking you time in teaching us. You are a great guy !
I just wanted to say that I love your videos and that I'm interested in cars because of you.
I came at first to see what a turbo charger is since i have it in my jetta, and then i found myself viewing most of your videos! I even bought that DIY engine kit from your recent video!
Please keep posting new and interesting content :)
Riyad Massrwa Thanks for watching, glad you enjoy the videos!
Neat trick with the breaker bar and jack. Way to improvise!
Bro I love your integra, so clean!
Great videos man. Keep it up. This project is going to be great when it's done.
I have had 2 Yonaka 2.25in exhausts over the years on my 97 LS and they are awesome!! Especially for how inexpensive they are.. Only thing I did was I had a different resonator welded up differently so that it sat up in the exhaust well like an OEM exhaust.. The "Droop" seems to be a pretty common issue with these exhausts.. Great video as usual!
got a yonaka for my base dc5 coming, this really gave me the confidence to do it myself
I love the project integra series
Using the jack with the breaker bar was pretty damn smart.
Haha, thanks! I always say if you're working in a garage you must be at least A) Strong or B) Smart. Both is obviously ideal. :)
Thumbs up for actually working on your car unlike most people Engineering Explained for future reference the midpipe refers to the section between the headers and the catback, and includes the cats (if the car has them). At least that's how it goes with most v engines. I've seen front wheel drive cars with a cat welded to the headers as well
pooft Lee It was a pipe, in the middle, so I called it the middle pipe. :) But you've got the terminology correct.
the sound is just perfect i love it
Awesome video! Keep em coming, good luck!
Fantastic explanation, keep up the awesome work!
Just did mine on my Prelude and this helped a lot.
I'm enjoying the project so far.
Great Video! can't wait to see what's next :D
Have to give it to you, those tires are beautiful. Nice treads
That floor jack and breaker bar trick is quite neat.
Great video man. Awesome job
Nice. I'm going to get a cat-back exhaust for my 2006 Pontiac G6 GT
The jack/breaker bar combination is what I use to do when I loosen the oil drain plug on the 78, Dodge Challenger. But I used a wrench instead.
very nice sound, Good work my friend!
This video will help me out a lot... Debating on doing a WRX catback exhaust install soon.
for one i like how you put the bricks under the ramps and using the jack on the bracker bar. nice.
Next mod is to paint the calipers red. Adds a lot of horsepower
Grayson McLeod So many powers.
Mighty car mods
New exhaust sounds good ( not obnoxiously loud or buzzy) a nice purr sound good choice of an exhaust.
Had this installed on my integra, granted.. it was automatic.. but it still sounded great! very glad you went with this choice :)
First time I've seen the breaker bar technique. Very clever for DIY at home
I saw that you bolted the cat back right into the stock catalytic converter, I have a set-up in my garage now and cannot fit it direct.
The yonaka cat back is 2.5 inch, I'm getting 2" from the cat forward.
Great video ! Would i notice any performance gains if i got a decent flowmaster catback for an otherwise stock 4.0L v6 mustang?
great video very safe and very concise
Awesome work dude!
Amazing technique. I usually end up removing an exhaust system with a hack saw. Actually unbolting it is pretty awesome.
FINALLY ITS UP
that yonaka exhaust is really clean looking. much better than the usual fart can that u see on 3rd gen tegs. if fits the rear diffuser well.. nice vid!
I love this integra project series !!! Keep it up man you're awesome !!! But i have a little question at 9:40 and after it looks like the new pipping sits too low....almost scraping the ground...is it just the angle of the camera that makes it look like it or is it really too low ? Oh btw the new exhaust sounds mean!! great sound :PP
Great video! Would it be the same process installing a catback exhaust on A 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7 l?
I wonder if the lighter actually helped at all? I've always heard you need MAP or Oxy/Ace to get anything done, I've tried using propane in the past and it did nothing. I also tried PB blaster, a 19.2V impact, and using a jack on a breaker bar with a pipe on it and all I did was bend the breaker bar and I had to spend an hour cutting it instead. Maybe I just have bad luck with rusty parts...
AgentHydra The lighter definitely helped. Heat is heat. I couldn't get it off without using it. I used a propane torch on a few that were more stubborn (and wouldn't budge just using the lighter), also did the job.
You make a good mechanic!
Your videos are helpful explain stuff in depth.shit is funny I just came across this video and I just recieved my yonaka cat back today same yours.cool stuff man keep it up
Great vid. I like the exhaust. Nice sound and doesnt sound like the normal chainsaw sound every is into.
i got the very same exhaust but im putin it on a EK civic, which is shorter than the teggy so the cat part of the yonaka exhaust is almost touching the open end of the header, basically eliminating the cat ive just been too lazy to fabricate the header to resonator pipe
Not only is the video fun to watch, but I bet this guy can do a great Ross Gellar impression too.
Engineering Explained
Can't wait to see acceleration tests. Hope it get some difference.
I wait for your videos as I wait to study some subjects at university.
Lucas Peres There is a difference, though I would have been better off using a higher frame rate. Some lessons learned, and some data that's useful. Should have a video up in a couple weeks!
breaker bar on the jack lift is a great idea!
I'm curious about the jack you used. It seems to have a lot of height, and I'm looking for one that lifts higher than the old reliable Craftsman. Also, I like the part about breaking the bolts using a jack. I ended up having to cut and drill out a very stubborn bolt.
jack to break the nut, brilliant idea, deff gonna do that if I ever need too! I have an electric impact but gets heavy holding it after 10 mins trying to get a nut out of a hard to reach place haha.
Sounds good man, kinda deep tone not ricey. While removing weight and gaining a few hp. Im assuming you still have those other parts too right? Like the intake manifold, and i think there were headers too...
Patrick H Yep, still have other parts to mess with!
hey man hope you get that job at Hotrod garage your the perfect kind of person for it.
Hey man. I love your videos, they help me a lot. I am an off road enthusiast and although this may not be your forté, there are many newcomers to the sport of rock crawling and such. With new drivers come new questions. I see you do know your stuff both on and off road but I would like to see some videos focused on the area of rock cralwing. Some topics are: roll cages, different sized axles, bigger tires and changes you would have to make to support them, and beadlocks. This would open more options for videos and I know you're probably close to running out of ideas for new ones. Thanks!
Haha, thanks for the suggestions! I laugh because I'm not sure if your statement regarding "running out of ideas" is serious or not. I have too many ideas, not enough time. :)
Engineering Explained well if you're not running out of ideas then I wouldn't worry about it! I say running out of ideas because you've covered about every topic and some more than once!
Just out of interest would it be better to first loosen all bolts whilst it's still in position rather than when it's hanging down. Putting pressure on the other bolts left in. Just curious? Great watch by the way!
Love the video! I'm also learning (far behind ya though) but i'm installing motor mount inserts soon along side a header and cat-back exhaust system, any suggestions? Like to go with 4-1 or 4-2-1, or any brands to go with? Love watching your explanation videos the most! looking forward to another video of the integra! :D
Billy Williams Haven't tested headers yet, but eventually I may get there!
That was awesome! What's next?!
Sounds good! This is what Hondas should sound like lol
If you do this on a carbureted car, do you need to lean/richen the mixture after the installation?
smart using the breaker bar with the jack!
nice sound
I have a stock teggy.. What would I want to do to it first. It's gonna be my first project car (not stick shift tho) :/
I'm thinking of building a custom exhaust on a '95 Accord EX. Essentially, running a dual split header (2 cylinders per) into an x pipe followed by dual catalytic converters, resonators, and tailpipes. Very similar to a muscle car setup with a v8 but scaled down to focus on low and midrange torque for the 4 banger. My intention is to locate the O2 sensor bung directly in the central part of the x-pipe to adequately gather information from all 4 banks- OBD1 programming, as I'm sure you're aware. My question IS since there is a Venturi effect at this point in the system, do you anticipate this location would cause poor readings from the sensor or cause drivability issues otherwise? .. I really appreciate your channel and any outside perspective would be much appreciated. Thanks!!
I noticed at the end of the video that the intermediate pipe was hanging a little low, did you go back underneath the car and adjust the hight of the pipe?( otherwise you'll scrape it going over a speed bump and ruin the finish)
Nice video!
Hey! im thinking about this or a Magnaflow, money isnt an issue, and im just wondering how this held up?
really cool vid, thx
Is it advisable to use anti seize on the gaskets and threadlocker on the bolts??
I want a yonaka exhaust too however I have a 4dr integra 1999 gs. I been seeing a lot of reviews for 4dr folks like me, people saying it’s too low and it be scraping on the road bumps.
My cat-back exhaust didn't come with metal hangers, any suggestions on how to hang them if they didn't come with the hangers?
Are you going to do a front end conversion with headlights? If so can you do a vid on it? Thx.
Think you can help me with a situation. My cat Is complete clogged and the flanges are leaking bad. Causing horrible performance loss, I figured the easiest solution. Galvanized flex exhaust hose / remove cut off the cat and replace. I have o2 simulators so it makes no difference. You think this could work.
very amazing video thank you
Any idea how to get this to fit on a 98 gsr? 94-99 gsr has a shorter A pipe than every other integra model so the yonaka cat back doesn’t reach the cat converter. I emailed yonaka if getting both the yonaka exhaust header and cat back would solve the fitment problem and they said their cat back exhaust ends with a three bolt flange and their exhaust header ends with a two bolt flange. And they still recommended having s muffler shop add a length of test pipe. Maybe also getting the yonaka high flow catalytic converter would solve the issue?
That was the sickest camera flip of 2014
I love your idea on breaking those nuts lose very nice way of thinking it's same with me when I couldn't find my oil filter remover so I used a screwdriver and hammered a hole into it and loosen it up (my dad taught me that) funny how the human mind works when you put it in good use
My catalytic converter doesnt have 3 botls only 2, and the cat back i bought has 3, what do i do?
The catalyac converts some of the exhaust gas to oxygen that's why there's usually another O2 sensor after the catalac converter?
7150285 Yes, to tell how efficiently it's working.
Is there a flex pipe installed with the original catalytic converter ? If not, when do you need one ? My mechanic told me I need one BUT I don't see one in yours.
For a cat back exhaust do you need to remove the catalytic converter??
Someone please reply if I put an exhaust on my car and I don't use a torque wrench but I just tighten it down all the way is that okay or am I going to break something?
you think that's rusted?? oh boy...
Can you do a playlist of your project Integra. I'd like to watch your build as you go along
Clayton Rendon Absolutely, was planning on making this once it had a few more videos. :)
nice and purty!
Hey man, I have a question for you. If I want to upgrade from a 2.25 " to a 2.75" ID exhaust, can I do that? Is there anything special I need to do?
Yay! Get new seats! Bucket seats ;) those old ones seen their days haha
Will be doing my catback on my integra soon
does cutback exhaust harm the engine or any other part like cat converter or something else?
any cons it has?
god damn dat sound yeeeeaaaassss!
whats the next thing? a body kit? lighter seats? idk!!
Good job.
