hey man, if your looking for bassy and really nice cat-back, get the skunk2 mega-power cat-back. its sounds so nice and bassy. i just put it on my 2002 civic lx coupe and its great. A++. its an easy install and its pretty $%$#'n but when you put the scilencer on it its very very quiet. you'll kick yourself if you don't get this.

i got mine for a great deal. the best on the web that i could find. $500 + $15 for shipping. and the people are very nice and informative. their service is perfect.

linkage here

This site contains a sound clip of the TCS. I bought one and it sounds just like the clip, so I would check that out. It was an easy install, the whole system is polished, and I think it looks great. check out DCsports.com for some pics.

Forgot to memtion DC TCS adds 2HP to the wheels according to import tuner. Skunk2 adds 5HP according to their dyno on their website, but I don't think you'll notice the difference. Hope that helps.

Okay, really, there are only two catback systems out there worth their cost: Skunk2 and DC's TCS...the others come up short in one or more characteristics.

How low is your car? On mine, only the TCS will do, as I have a 2" drop and the TCS is the only one that tucks up like the OEM.

If your car is not that low or the roads are good where you live, def consider the Skunk2.

ok..i have another question..wtf is the difference here??



judging by the pics(which on their site appear in the same order) the first is for the coupe which would also mean the second is for the sedan[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
if thats the case im glad i have a sedan because the first looks like sh.it

oh btw ive obviously gone with the tcs..i hope its as deep as people have said cuz if i sound like a damn bumblebee ima be pissed...

I think the silver car is either an Integra or a 6th-gen Civic...

ok there is really no difference, its just on cat-back is a polished silver (bottom one) and the other is a standard system (top one). its the same exact thing, same exact sound, nothing is different. just the color.
