Overview of the Iconic Honda Prelude 2.2 VTI

The Honda Prelude 2.2 VTI is a standout from the fifth generation of this classic Japanese coupe, launched in the mid 90s. It comes with a naturally aspirated 2.2 litre DOHC inline four engine producing 182 horsepower at 7,000 RPM and 205 Nm of torque at 5,300 RPM. The 5 speed manual transmission and front wheel drive layout deliver an engaging, sporty driving experience, making it an ideal platform for a Honda Prelude Exhaust upgrade.

Performance and Handling That Impresses

This sporty Honda accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in around 7.9 seconds and can reach a top speed of approximately 140 mph. With double wishbone suspension at the front and rear and 205 50 R16 tyres, the Prelude offers sharp, responsive handling. Upgrading the Honda Prelude Exhaust System improves engine breathing, enhances throttle response and delivers a more refined yet sporty driving experience.

Specs and How it Stacks Up Against the Competition

Producing 134 kW 182 PS at 7,000 rpm and 205 Nm of torque, the Prelude measures approximately 4,540 mm in length, 1,730 mm in width and 1,300 mm in height, with a weight of around 1,255 kg. Competing with cars such as the Ford Cougar and Vauxhall Calibra, it stands out for its high revving engine and balanced chassis. A professionally developed exhaust upgrade unlocks improved exhaust flow and complements the car’s factory performance characteristics.

Top Notch Custom Exhaust System Upgrade

For this Honda Prelude 2.2 VTI, a fully bespoke exhaust solution was designed following a detailed consultation. The setup included options for a complete system featuring a high flow sports catalytic converter, upgraded downpipe, mid sports resonator and rear premium back box, all engineered to significantly improve flow and reduce back pressure.

Both mandrel bent and machine bent Honda Prelude Exhaust System configurations were offered, allowing the customer to choose between maximum flow efficiency or a more cost effective solution without compromising quality. In addition, a cat back system option was provided, consisting of a sports resonator and rear premium box, delivering a deeper tone and noticeable performance gains while retaining the factory catalytic converter. These upgrades result in smoother power delivery, improved responsiveness and a richer, sportier exhaust note.
