Im buying a "turbo" muffler

Im selling my AC Revolution muffler to buy a Reactive turbo muffler. the muffler has a cool looking tip w/ a small turbine inside that is spun by the hot exhaust gasses. the turbine helps create a little back pressure at low RPM's and then helps to pull gasses out at high RPM's. plus it sounds like you have a turbo! (And before you call me a total ricer, Im in the process of installing the trubo from an eclipse on my car). If I find a pic ill post it.

LOL.. i seen that Ractive ehuast b4, i'm not used to the look of the turbine on the tip but, looks dun matter if you are gonna be housing a turbo with the ehuast! Right!? Anyhow, keep up the post on your soon to be turbo CIVIC! Many of us out here probably wanna know how it goes, if it works great i'm gonna run out look for a shop that'd custom make it fot my ride

that sounds cool but most turbo mufflers are high flow with minimal noise.

yes I have the origional engine that came w/ my civic. Putting the real turbo on is taking allot more custom work that I thought. Our engines are a pain in the *** to work on.

i don't have my exhaust all worked out, my engine work only goes as far as the header. but i have a turbo sitting in the garage, just waiting for the money and time to get it installed. i don't know the model of the thing though, it's all dusty and i'm almost afraid of it LOL. anyways, when i get started on thet project i'll let everyone know.
