No 4banger on earth sounds good with straight pipes and I would know, as someone who races for a living I've heard some horrible 4bangers wiz by and my turbo full exhaust highflo cat and single bullet muffler k20 swapped Miata sounds great, far better than straight piped 4 cylinder and v6 cars.
Quality over quantity. That straight pipe is absolutely trash sounding. The skunk2 sounds miles better and he would probably get the sound he's looking for if he ditched the CAT on the car. Either way that is one of the cleanest Preludes I've seen in a very long time and I want it lol
Plus when they built the straight pipe exhaust, couldn’t they get the pipe centred under the car. It was pushed off to the drivers side because the bend going to the passenger side was too long. These guys are butchers.
Straight pipe sounded horrible, nothing but noise. Skunk2 was much better, perhaps cutting the resonator off would off would enhance the sound a bit. But at least it sounds much better the second way.
From too loud to too quiet. He should have left the previous exhaust system on and just added a resonator. Would have brought the volume down to 105 ish.
If he doesn’t like it I would remove the resonator and leave the muffler. It’ll make it a little bit louder without sound like an anger wasp nest like it did straight piped.
The skunk2 muffler alone sounds great and I've got a few on a couple cars the problem is that silly resonator, remove the resonator and it will sound way better than with it and sounds far better than straight piped. I don't care what anyone says but any naturally aspirated 4 banger sounds like absolute garbage straight piped period. Only v8's and a handful of v6's sound good straight piped but no 4banger on earth sounds good without a muffler, i would know ive had several cars and trucks straight piped and Honda's, cavalier's, s10 and rangers sound like trash. A bullet muffler sounds far better on those 4banger vehicles.
Love the Prelude but damn homie that exhaust is a waste of money. Get a tomei if you want the noise but this skunk2 just skunked you out of hundreds of dollars. Now you gotta pay them to cut and re weld the old setup 😮
Skunk2 WAAAAAAYYYYY better. 4 bangers need at least a resonator and most need a muffler as well. Need your damn hearing checked if ya think straight pipe 4 pots sound good. Tone>Volume
I don't know why y'all don't like it, it sounds a hell of a lot better. Straight pipes and I4s don't mesh.
R18s with a muffler and resonator delete sound good nice and deep and not to raspy
Agreed

@@reaperasylum Yep. I used to track a DC Integra. SMSP header and Comptech cat back. Sounded great.
Fr tho
That thing looks good, sounds better than the straight pipe tbh
Skunk2 sounds so much better.
Yes but there is a Canadian company that does a perfect muffler for honda. Cant remember the name
Sounds so much better than the nasty raspy ghetto sound before. Nice clean low sound.
Wow. Skunk2 has a reputation for being loud. This one sounds tame in comparison to the straight pipe!
It sounds much better now
Quality over quantity. That straight pipe is absolutely trash sounding. The skunk2 sounds miles better and he would probably get the sound he's looking for if he ditched the CAT on the car. Either way that is one of the cleanest Preludes I've seen in a very long time and I want it lol

No, people are just soft and dont like loud cars
Louder is not always better!! Skunk2 sounds clean!! The Straight pipe system sounds nasty…but to each their own I guess
Personally, I like the Skunk2 considerably more than the straight pipe system. The acceleration under a load sounded phenomenal.
Skunk2 is better, more controlled, less rasp.
If anything maybe keep the resonator and take off the muffler.
Side by side comparison was really cool.
Would of been louder without that resonator an just add in a straight pipe all the way to the exhaust
great tone at the end
When i hear that straight pipe, those are the type of cars i hope get pulled over.
Under load it's 100X better than straight pipe nonsense
It sounds much better imo 👍
Give it 1,000 miles to break in, you can hear it’s got a nice depth to the sound it just needs to open up a little bit! Sounds awesome
Sounds a hell of a lot better. Nice work!
The prelude is a classic beautiful car treasure it, give it good parts, that home made exhaust is for hinda civics.
Love the Honda prelude !!
It'll break in and get louder. They're all quiet when you first install them.
Muffler only would have probably made him happier... Straight pipe was intolerable, but with a little tone I could dig it.
That thing is in great shape for its age. Kudos to the owner. Straight pipe was better, maybe swap in a small resonator to clean up the sound.
You perliud come on guy 😂😂😂
Damn I thought I’d never see the day lol preludes look nice 😎
Straight pipe sounded horrible, nothing but noise. Skunk2 was much better, perhaps cutting the resonator off would off would enhance the sound a bit. But at least it sounds much better the second way.
Hondas need a resonator up close near the cat to ensure no rasp. Muffler is optional at that point depending on how much sound you want.
Sounds way better
Nice work. 🤘🏻😎🔨 Sounds like my SCAG zero- turn.
😂
i want an 01 Prelude Type Sh in electron peal blue but i already got the 5.0 and im broke and ppl are taxing on used cars
Bro was instantly disappointed 🤣
Pre-lee-ood? 🤔 interesting, hadn’t heard that one yet
It's not the first time for me. Similar to when some people pronounce Toyota as "teeyota"
The skunk2 exhaust actually sounds way better than the straight pipe exhaust.
Such a beautiful car. These are hard to find in good condition. I’d love to daily one.
Personally, I would have gone with a Apexi’ N1 exhaust. Now that would be a perfect note!
Just cause it’s louder doesn’t mean it’s better
All he needed was a vibrant ultra quiet or vibrant resonator and it would've been good without rasp on the straight pipe.
What was the piping diameter of his catalytic converter? Looks smaller than the skunk2's piping! Thanks!
Might be quieter but I bet it performs better.
sounds perfect for a 4 cylinder.
I disagree. The skunk2 system works well, is a little bit louder than stock and is smooth. I like it
Sounds way better with the Skunk 2, deep tone sound, but that's just my taste
Skunk 2 best sounding for JDM 4bangers
Str8 pipes sound better on idling while Skunk2 is better during revs.
What's the max thats been seen on the DB meter? And what car was it.
it stops working at 130 but first to do it was a mustang
@@slocarfr thank you I've been wondering
*get Greddy EVO 2 catback exhaust for Prelude, way better non ricer deeper sound*
This guy is the forest gump of cars. Absolutely remedial.
From too loud to too quiet. He should have left the previous exhaust system on and just added a resonator. Would have brought the volume down to 105 ish.
Yep. Honda 4 cylinders just need a resonator.
Leave the new mid muffler put the old dual tip back on. Louder but not as quiet.
SKUNK2 sounds way better and cleaner!
These cars should have been rwd. Its a shame hondas only rwd car is the s2000, theyre missing out on a huge market big time
Honda Prillyood
It's crazy what done to exhaust what happened to coming off the manifold to a muffler
If he doesn’t like it I would remove the resonator and leave the muffler. It’ll make it a little bit louder without sound like an anger wasp nest like it did straight piped.
Prelude not Prill-yude!
Is it "prell yood" or "pray lood"?
Remove the resonator. Gotta have a muffler though. Not a fan of that high weedeater sound in the higher rpm’s IMO.
sounds great. not loud and shitty like the straight pipe. could use a cat delete though to make it more prompt

Get rid of the cat and the resonator and install a uel header, RUclips it they sound awesome like a Subaru minus the problems😅
What bodykit is that?
Hey bro. They brought the prelude back. 2025
0:37 Honda Preleude??
Nice 97 Honda Prelude Too Queit With Take Off Should Left Straight Pipe
1. Skunk2 doesn’t make a H22 Header.
2. H22s sound best with a quality resonator and/or a turbo. Cats really quite them down.
*an
Put the old back on
Pays to watch videos about an item you're interested in purchasing.
Just need to get rid of the high flow cat
Couldn't just threw a glass pack on the first setup.
If he would of just left that resonator off it would be a lot better
Just take the res off will sound great
Ive never heard Prelude pronounced like that
Straight pipe with cat
Sounds better than straight. But… too quiet.
Car sounds like it is starving for a turbo and cam. Maybe some race fuel.
Honda prulue? TF?

Needs to be LOUDER!!! no cap

Skunk 2 sounds so much better it actually has a exhaust tone that straight pipe shyt sounds like absolute Ass
Skunk 2 much better sound bro its not always about how loud it is lol
Hi there. 😊
I think - one good big resonator(maybe Mgnflow) put in the middle - will be awesome sounds🙂
Thnx for very nice video! Subscriiibe😉
Let it break in ittl sound better
Skunk2 WAAAAAAYYYYY better. 4 bangers need at least a resonator and most need a muffler as well. Need your damn hearing checked if ya think straight pipe 4 pots sound good. Tone>Volume
Just take that front resonator off
Suck that he had to hack it up now homeboy can't return it
y do yall but those big ass batwings on Hondas? That shit looks stupid!!!
Burns too much oil
My man sounded pretty depressed when he said let show you guys what it sound like on the inside he's not happy with this one at all
"Honestly, our sustem sounds better". No...no it doesnt. Tone over volume every time.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Take that cat off
Bro pay 700$ for exhaust and its sounds worse 😅😅😂😂
First
sad life u must live

YEAH - straight pipe sounded horrible! Much more refined now.
