dont konw...OEM Exhaust All the way up to the headers, I am willing to sell the headers as well. I would still need an headers.... plus if i want to get a suspension on my budget of 1000$ for 2006... it wont work. Sure, for 180, i would have all the line, but i would miss the header an with no header... less flow? How many hp could i get from this up-grade with out headers? 2hp? 10hp?

With the header it's maybe a 5HP upgrade in the high end ... so without header should be much less... exhaust mod on the 7thgen are not really for performance... mostly for look and sound. On the DX/lx you can have some gain with a header because of the design of the OEM manifold/cat.

Me, with my warranty and what we discussed a bit earlier: I will maybe install this exhaust without the header for now, and then add the header.

Don't pay 180$ for that... maybe 100- 120$...

Depends I ask him the catalytic conv. for 35$ (in oder to cut it and make it fit on my car, the flow on the Type-S is better than on my civic... but I found some new magnaflow for 80$ at crappy tire...) and he didn' it want to. So if he is asking for 180 for everything... by mathematic you should have the cat-back for 140$ or less!!!!

The header + cat is a good upgrade on Non type-S RSX, so he should be able to sell that alone and the cat-back to you....

Hey, im selling a set of used Eibach Prokit springs for a Civic 2001 - 2003. A fantastic set of springs for someone who does not want to be "too low" and who drives their car during the winter months. The drop is rated at 1", but after having them settle, its closer to 1.4". They can be used with stock springs, and their a great cheaper alternative to $$ coilovers $$.

Price to sell, first come first serve.........$120 neg.

Pics if needed.

When that happens, I'll welcome you to the club. Though I know I'm in the deep end of it, I don't really care.

Perhaps with the kit it'll hide the huge exhaust a little, but who cares. It still is fun to drive with

Wow!

If you want to see some gain I suggest to get a header also! As I said, it's the exhaust manifold that is restrictive on the DX/LX.

You can get a DX/LX header (that will also fit with your stock exhaust) or since it will be custom anyway you can get a Si (CDN) header that should cost a little bit less... (if you continue to have good deal! )

I hope you will be able to use the RSX-S cat. (last one on this pic):


You will need to cut the front end of it in order to keep it straight and reach your header... I just hope that it will fit underneath our car. I wanted to try it, but the guy didn't want to sell cheap. I will go with a magnaflow (3rd on the pic) instead. You may need to change your front sway bar...

If you go check at the bottom of this page: http://www.davincitandems.com/rsx/exhaust.html you will find the flow bench results of different cat. The stock RSX-S cat is the less efficient but I am sure that it is way better than the civic OEM cat! And you are sure that you won't have a check engine light (so you don't need a O2 simulator!).

Good luck!

If you are looking for any Si (EX) header, then you definitely have more choices - unless you want to specifically stay with OEM. As for the cost, I still can't believe Hans got the Kamikaze that cheap but so be it.

Also, you won't need an 02 sim - as long as you extend the wiring to reach the second sensor location (on the downpipe).

Oh, and to point spreading

Dream on! I had the deal of the century... used header are usually 250$!!!! Check the for sale forum... Karumba is selling his at the right price .

But you can maybe go for an OEM Si header. People with D17a2 usually don't see a lot of improvment with an aftermarket header since the OEM is not bad...

These are for the oldest D series, they don't fit. Check with Superfly, he upgraded his header, he may have the old one in his garage...

You may want to try this guy: http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...ghlight=header don't seems to be sold... 20$US+shipping...

For the seat, personally if they are like on the pics you sent... I don't like the inner design (the rectangle in diagonal)... I prefer the leather one.

But it's your car, your taste!

Sure, but it is a full racing header - since he already has a downpipe he wouldn't need it. Or he could end up selling his downpipe. Though sadly to bash my own sale, but I wouldn't recommend it to a friend. Learn from my experiences.

What don't you like about yours? it's new I think?

He will still need a downpipe... or soemthing that will act as one! The RSX exhaust is too small (even if he use the RSX cat), he will need a piece of piping to join the header to the RSX exhaust...

It is brand new in box because when it was first installed on my car it had an exhaust leak between the header section and resonator. On top of that issue, there was installation issue in the fact that it was hitting my subframe. It was suggested to either get new motor mounts and/or to trim into the subframe. Both issues I did not really want to go looking into to get a header to fit. I will admit that my car definitely felt faster in the higher end with that header on than my current set-up (HP shorty header + Random Tech hi-flow cat).

But if you are stating that he will still need a downpipe, good luck finding a header and downpipe for 100$.
