2.5 is to big.... you will lose all your torque

id go 2.25"... maybe 2.0" if u have minimal mods to the engine.

trust me i know sohc vtec is garbage, but a bigger exhaust will help his high end, when Vtec engages, he never said he was expecting huge power gains, but 2 1/4 will do more for power than stock.

jttegx has a spectacular aura aboutjttegx has a spectacular aura about
2.25" since your going all out exhaust from header to muffler.

2.5" is for turbo applications.
