Im a NewB and have a question!!!! HELP!
 

Hey, I am new to these forums soooo hello!

Well anywho, in like....in 7 months i am going to get my license and bro's 2001 ex coupe so :yes:

Since i've been crazy over cars since i was a wee-boy, I already decided to get somethign cheap for the car, and since this is going to be a handme down car i decided not to go all out on it.

I am going to put on- dun laugh- muffler tips :loco: and on the back it said the muffler tailpipe has to be between 1.25 inches to 2 inches in diameter. Does my 2001 accord ex have tips within those sizes????

is it a 4banger or v6 ?

v6.. i feel so cheap;(

I'll ask another q while im here, is there a badge on my car that shows i have a a v-tec in there? or would i have to lift the hood? or is in there guranteed?

all accords from 1998 and beyond have vtec.

not the dx's they have the f23a2 engine with 135 hp non vtec. LX/DX are f23a1 with 150hp

lol i have another question if you guys dun mind, my friends keeps going on about how my car wont be 200hp it will be liek 170 or so cause it's automatic is this true? Also the muffler q :yes:

<- i am teh n00blar when it comes to accords.

But robs is so sexy.

well we were talkin the power at the crank. the older accords 94-97 had 170hp

sorry hondaman didn't get that @_@ so is he right more or less?

Well Hot damn I didnt know that lol hehe.

you would be at 155 at the wheels. it's a 6th generation and the engine makes 198hp

umm i hate to ask a billion q's but whats at the wheels mean? auto? Sorry I am asking so many stupid questions :no:

Basically an engine loses power through the drive assembly, so an engine might make say 100 horse power (at the crank) and only put about 85 to the wheels (or to the ground basically).

So basically, you're only doing 85 hp to the ground, while your engine is making upwards of 100.
