89onaquest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 Thats awesome man. I can't wait till I get my *DM 3in but first I want to fix the damage my car has, I don't mind being slow if I have a HOT car. Â Kurt Tell me about it. When the head finally cracked on mine, I got to looking closely at the body, to find cancel in many places. So, I put it on jack stands to prevent tire rot/deformation. Then I got the new head. Started porting.. then went, well if I have gone this far, why not go MPI? Then.. well the engine has 150K, so why not a swap? Then I saw the 2.0 was popular... but I wanted something different. 2JZ too expensive right now... so then the 2.4... The list goes on... final assesment... forget the 2.6, sell the ported head, or exhange for a 2.0 DOHC head. Find a 2.4, get a 2.0 crank... basic rebuild... then this summer plunk, in it goes. Buy a 2.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikestarion Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 man, what muffler is that? it may be a "fart can" but i like the look. seems to be a more functional size than a fart can in my opinion. anyway, looks great, what mods you have on that VERY NICE looking starion?

Technology Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 uhh, the *DM exhaust ships with no cats and no muffler turbo back. you buy a muffler and if you want cats, buy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fountaindyno Posted June 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Muffler pictured is a Megan Racing stainless, 4.5" angle tip, smooth case. Bought from sombody on Ebay you don't want to deal with, had to get tough with 'em. Adapted to *DM exhaust with a chunk of Stromung 3" WRX exhaust from a customer car custom fitment. New owner of the Starion had me install a Catco cat and a 2.5" Flowmaster last week, he commutes @ 130 miles a day with it, and the drone from the fartcan was making him mental. Doesn't have the same growl anymore, but much more liveable, and I built the adapters so he can switch mufflers in about 5 minutes. Mod list for the Starion: *DM 3"/ 3 wire o2/ catco hiflo 12A fully ported hot side fully ported/stress relieved manifold (removed 6 pounds!) Lower Shores MBC- sucks, replacing with a TXS 2 stage 1G MAS on a Spectre Honda AHP ala' vilification ziptied IC hoses ala' vilification 1G BOV crushed and reworked for dump to atmosphere ACT stage 2 on stock flywheel Bill's short shifter I posted dyno plots around here somewhere. 217 hp 277ft/lb at 15psi with no time to tweak- clutch let go on the 4th pull, never got it back on the dyno. New owner is planning on a SAFC and some suspension repairs (bad rear shock) and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
