Installed new DC Sport Catback Exhaust on my Civic 04 LX

So after convincing my parents that my car "needed" an exhaust they finally broke down after three years and bought me one as a early Christmas present. I never had enough money to save up due to bills and being a college student to afford an exhaust, so I am very proud to finally get one. I know if gives me little to no power gain whatsoever but damn does it sound nice . So after so much research on youtube mainly and various other sites I finally decided I would go with the Greddy SP2. Yo might be saying dumb *** that's not what the title says, yes I know!!! This is the first exhaust I wanted to get and actually paid for it through a website who assured me it would only take a couple of days to get from Greddy. Wrong....sooooo wrong. It seems that Greddy takes forever to send things out to restock up on. I mean like if the company made a request it would be 2 months later before anyone sees the product. This information is based off 5 different websites I tried to order it from. So after canceling my order from the website with much anger, I stumbled across drag race inc apart of club rsx site. He game me a great deal on the DC Sport Catback and also threw 2 day free shipping. The day I ordered the product it shipped on the same night. So here is my exhaust after that story...

Thanks Enjoy

Looks and sounds great. Wait till that breaks in a lil, its gonna sound even better. Is your car an auto? Oh and your rear camber seems a lil excessive, may want to take care of that before your tires are chewed to hell.

Re: Installed new DC Sport Catback Exhaust on my Civic 04 LX

Thanks! Sigh I know my whell are setting at a real messed up camber. As a matter of fact I got car aligned yesterday and they were straight but when I drived off they were rubbing on te fender. :-/ I had to get them to readjust it. Do you guys suggust I do a fender tuck or just get some spring that will not lower as much? I can't afford coilovers :-/ Right now I have Goldline.

Re: Installed new DC Sport Catback Exhaust on my Civic 04 LX

man, i shouldve of extended my hangers so it would look like yours. instead it melted right under the bumper. note that my exhaust is flushed with the bumper like his is but closer to the bumper. so i had to wet sand the exhaust tip getting melted burnt bumper off of it w/o trying to scratch it then cut out that part of the bumper so it does melt to the exhaust again. it looks fine looking at it straight on. you couldn't tell the difference. its only when you at it from up close and up. but yea. nice setup and sound. =D

Re: Installed new DC Sport Catback Exhaust on my Civic 04 LX

Yea l did plenty of researched and learned not to place the exhaust that close to the bumper. I will post another video up in about 2 weeks so everyone can hear how it sounds when it is broken in.

Re: Installed new DC Sport Catback Exhaust on my Civic 04 LX

Nit3shift, I was wondering if you needed an aftermarket header to go with the DC Sport catback exhaust or if you needed to buy other "things" to make the exhaust fit on your car. I am thinkin about getting this for my '03 LX and so I wanted to know these expenses, if any before hand... Yup, I is a college student! BTW, any update video?
