my ex exhaust conversion*pics*
well ive had the d17a2 for a while and i was still running the crappy dx exhaust setup. so i changed it up and bought a down pipe and high flow cat off a member on here and threw the ex header on finally. i was kinda scared i was gonna lose some low end because of less backpressure. but i had no low end loss i could feel and the high end is way better. i have the main o2 sensor right under the header in the down pipe, and the secondary on the back side of the cat. excuse some of the stray wires i need to clean up under the hood a little and i frogot to get wire cover when i wired up my alarm. and the high heat aluminum paint is already coming off.
as for sound it is alot louder, before all i had was an apexi n1 axel back and it was pretty quiet, it got about 2 times as loud with this. and i still have the resignator.
