Hey, I'm pretty new to this crap, so gimme a break. I'm from Monroe, I gotta 02 EX. Looks pretty stock from outside except for the tint. A couple things inside like silver dash kit and audio. Got rims in storage, coming out in spring, and a xenon body kit sitting in my room waiting to be painted and installed. Anyone know of a lower sounding muffler I can get, or recommended pipe size??? Thanks

if you're talkin about exhaust, dont go bigger than 2.25" piping. 3" if you're goin boost. i should've got 2" piping instead of 2.25" i think i lost too much back pressure. if you're looking for quite cat-backs, i'd recommend DCTCS, thermal RD stealth, or magnaflow. if you want performance, get the Tanabe RacingSpec. loud as f**k, but best gains from any catback on the market.

EDIT: huy, is the 1000 for the teins include tax?

I meant like a lower as in......growling sound, if at all possible. I know, I know, we're dealing with a 4 banger, but I figured it was worth a try. Being my first projest vehicle and all. I just hate the loud as f**k, high pitched, whinning sound. But still get some power from it. Thank for the help.

There is a Zex smart system for $493 @ www.impactparts.com. That's the only place I've seen zex. I always see the NX and venom kits

bobby, from my guess, u prolly will only need a camber kit for the back. my car is dropped round 1.8-2" and only the back really needed camber kit. front seems okay and tire wear is normal.

edgar, we usually dont carry zex but i'll get u a price on them.

wat about the teins? is it 1000 out the door, or 1000+tax? cuz i'd rather pick them up in person than ordering something thats $1000+ over the internet

EDIT: actually huy, hold onto one of them for me. once i get my car from the shop, i'll give you a call and make my way up there. i'll be paying in cash (gosh, it feels good to say that)

Huy I would give you half now but When I get the money it will be the full 1000 bucks so I have to wait [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

Edgar, Good list of mods man! How are tem Diamond plate floor mats? Fit nice? I hear that the NX kit is the one that works best in our cars but who knows. I can not wait to get these Teins on. Then I can go out in the garage and sit and stare at my car lowered until Spring comes and I pull it out.
