Hey guys,

I was on my way to get new tires installed on Saturday when my tailpipe fell off the muffler. So, after getting the new tires installed I drove over to Zorro muffler in mississauga where I had the original stock replacement muffler installed a few years ago. They agreed to replace the rotted out muffler under warranty but mentioned that they had one stainless steel muffler left that fit my car and would give me the equivalent of my muffler off it. It looked good ( you can see it sticking out on my new signature pic) and so I agreed to have it installed. It has the letters "HP" etched onto the side, but I can't find much online for them - has anyone else got this system or know anything about the manufacturer?? like a website. Thanks for the help.

What do you guys think - I've now got H&R springs, Koni red shocks, new Michelin Pilot XGT H4 tires, and a sewer pipe stainless steel exhaust - finally startin to rice my ride!!!

Apparently Zorro has alot of "no name" stuff...but as long as it works, and the prices are good, then I'm happy.

I have heard of a company called HP Racing. Not sure if they are the same company that made your exhaust or not though.

HP Racing is another aftermarket company. Can't be worse than RACTIVE. Are you sure it's not just the tip though?

WalMart sells stainless steel headers and exhaust from HP.

Some places sell HP coilovers. So I'm guessing that they are suppliers of generic aftermarket stuff under their company name.

better than stock, you're lucky.

i did another search on google for hp racing instead of hp exhaust and came up with this link which i think is what i got - kinda hard to see the logo or inside the tip in the pics, but thanks it looks like this is it - ill take a digital pic and post it tonight to compare

i dont want you to get the wrong impression - i didnt get a stainless steel muffler at no additional cost - they just applied the cost of the original replacement against the stainless on - i paid $320 installed - i hope i didnt pay too much

imported_esp

whoa $320 ???

is that the catback or JUST the muffler?

if it is just the muffler replacement, it seems a bit high(considering the fact that they gave you credit against your old broken one), I'm not too sure. Can anyone else substantiate this?

example: R1 rs1000 stainless steel straight through muffler is $110 + Zorro is s'pposed to charge 60-100 for an aftermarket install that YOU bring in.

at the most it should be 200-250.

But I'm not an expert. That's just what I gather.

yeah $320 sounds like they charged you to much man.

I called the muffler shop last night and said I wasn't happy with the muffler and they said they'd put a stock one back on and take this one back - I think maybe I'm gonna go on my lunch hour.

cosmic zx2

are you really not happy with it?
or not happy about the price?

have you taken a look at the ractive/toucan exhausts the have at CT?

For real...look at Dynomax exhausts

Honda fan

i love the look, and like the burble on light acceleration but its quite loud and drones on the highway especially when accelerating - even light acceleration

cosmic zx2

take a look at the magniflow universal exhausts
they're quiet except at WOT

Honda fan

Well i took it back to Zoro and got a stock one under warranty - they gave me full credit for the Hp one - I just paid for the connector pipe and clamps. I guess I wimped out - :cry:

Magnaflow is complete garbage when it comes to exhausts. They suck for Honda's.

cosmic zx2

tell that to the people on this board who have one

IMO i dont like the look of the exhaust hanging out the back of the eg hatch ,
