Lx to Ex Exhaust Greddy Evo2, AEMV2 Just got done with the LX to EX exhaust swap. Overall pretty easy to do, no real tuff problems the first o2 wire didnt even need to be extended we just wraped it around the middle Fan support(as to stay away from the header). Installed today was the Greddy Evo 2 Catback with ex J pipe, Ex header (ha danm that thing is so tiny, i laughed when i saw it) and ex sway bar(this was also very small compared to the LX one which is a beast!) And also the AEM V2 intake. Here is a clip. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/6...6401263c82.htm Preformance wise....above 4K a there is a lil extra pull but nothing a good wind could'nt do. As for sound...very nice and fitment very snug simple, and clean looking. Comments are welcome!

Rep Power: 268 IMO you're better off buying an OEM 03 ex front sway bar rather than spending all the money for the progress bars. You'll have to extend the second o2 sensor. You can DIY or buy one of these http://www.casperselectronics.com/Me...ory_Code=honda if you do buy one get the 24" the 12" is too short (i tried it). Last you need a after market cat back or an oem ex cat back for everything to bolt up.

Rep Power: 0 he is correct, save money get soem electrical connectors and extend the 2ed o2 senser, you can wing the first one and stretch it, itll fit and the sway bar, youll NEED an EX sway bar any year will do.
The pickup is minimal at the most.....i mean yea above 4K it feeels like it WANTS to go faster but...never seems to get there....ha so...dont waste money on preformance...i didnt...(it was free to me) but if your looking for looks, sound and A LIL pickup here ya go

Rep Power: 0 I believe you want the "Honda/Acura O2 Extension 24inch" Code:109201 Price: $24.95
Now, I looked at the Honda parts and I noticed that the 02 EX bar and the 03 EX bar are different part numbers.. Will the 03 fit on an 02, or should I get the 02??

Rep Power: 268 Smaller being better from a handling point of view. From my experience going to a smaller front sway helped greatly with corner exit grip. Here's a quote from zzyzx that sums it up
The 01 EX's had a 25.4mm front bar. I know, Thats what I got rid off on my 01 Ex coupe in favor of a 15.9mm one from an 03+ ex coupe.
The problem with tuning for the stock classes is that given your lack of camber you really need to test to see if reducing or increasing the strength of the front anti-roll bar helps better...
Softer = more front end grip + better corner exit grip (less inside wheel spin) BUT it also means more chassis roll, and given that you cant have much camber to compensate you may end up cornering on the tires sidewalls and end up with Less grip then what you had stock..
Stiffer = Less front end grip and more inside wheel spin on corner exits (Greater amount of load on the outside tire).. BUT, becuase the car is cornering flatter you will have more of the tire to work with... which may end up giving you more traction then if you went softer or stayed stock.
Has your brain poped yet?
