Newbie with Quarter mile time!
I've come to the site alot, but never registered till today. I have a 2001 Civic EX 5-speed 4dr
I just went to the track today with my new exhaust. I ran very good times. My previous best run was 16.89 @ 80.9mph. Today, I had a best of 16.52 @ 82mph. I have a cheapo Ebay wannabe Cold Air Intake and Custom 2.25' catback with a Flowtech Warlock Muffler. The exhaust sounds really good IMHO. It has a deep tone and doesn't get raspy as the RPMS go up.
So, does this ET sound good for my mods??? thanks.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

Yea, you are alright with those. Especially for just starting out. With those mods and a quarter of a tank of gas(lighter than a full tank) you should be able to make a 16.3 or somewhere near that. Keep on working at it.

Rep Power: 0 I think you're going overboard with the removing of the tire, etc...you're still running 16's you know? I have a 4 door that I'm sure will run only high 16's, but I use to do the "remove half the car" deal and it's just a lot of time to go from slow to slightly less slow. Save the seat. spare, floormat, etc... removal for when you are racing for pink slips [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 haha! every little bit does count. If i had a 100lb person driving, it probably would have been a 16.3. With out me in the car, it weighed in at 2595lbs. With me in the car it was 2880. I'm a big ol' boy. On one of my other runs I had a 2.4 60' time, so i might have been able to hit 16.4 if i drove a little better.
