Unhappy Took exhaust off today??

yup so i was bored today sitting around. and instead of smoking my crack pipe i decided to take off my stock exhaust. took it for a ride and it seemed like it lost power. so does that mean if i get a new exhaust. (greddy, tanabe) will it do the same? lost power from bottom end. i just took the rear section off.

Yeah you will lose a bit of low end with a rear section. I could feel the difference when I switched the stock one.

You lose a bit of low end. I look at it like this. Low end=torque. Since civs basically have none I really don't care. My mid and high end are better with my catback.

yea you will lose a little bit of low end power but civics dont have any to start off with so u dont have to worry i got my Hi-Power axle back on my car and it felt much slower off the line but yea i couldnt get some bolts off the exh on my spec-v so i took it to the exh shop with no axle back and it lost some low end power too but it has tons so yea i was still good but yea the exh will help your mid and high range
