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

lets just say you might get more end power if you swap your oem exhaust and replace it with your crack pipe!!!

i had full header with mendrel piping and a stock axle back, i had more low end torque, i didn't notice too much high end loss... it was just more quite
