What are the results of having a cold air intake without after market exhaust system?


//edited
More specific for a D17A SOHC VTEC - I added CAI, it has on the stock 4-1 exhaust system with 2" piping.

nothing.

it wont do any damage. it wont help you any in terms of power. it will just make the engine bay louder.

So would you suggest that I get an after market exhaust manifold and run a 2.5' piping?
you could do that.... but im not allowed to make suggestions. its your car... not mine. i cant tell you what to do.

the intake wont do much without a free flowing exhaust, it will just make the car sound cool.

if you are pulling in extra air, you have to be able to get rid of it too.

Get an intake, 4-2-1 header, and a 2.25" exhaust and you should be fine.

Wow people really? OP, please try to use the search button or google. Try this website, tprmag.com. Has actual dynographs of installed intakes and exhaust systems, but note that they're likely not from your specivic engine so they don't necessarily correlate. I would suggest that you could use this to atleast make an educated decision on these types of parts.

Why dont you just save that money and go for Nos or Boost? If your going for looks/sound then thats great. But otherwise you get nothing.
