pretty shitty description, not the right picture... truehonda has been around for a while, but I've never bought anything from them. Search up some reviews and then decide.

MURDOCK

If thats not the right picture then thats ****ed up on them for false advertisment.

Yea I agree description is so shitty it makes you wonder.

I think I will steer clear if thats the case

hp is a name brand but i wouldnt say its a good exhaust. most of their stuff doesnt even fit right.

A lot of the stuff you buy online doesnt have the correct picture. And I dont think you could get them for false advertisment. I'm sure if you dig around, you'll find their pictures are only representive of the product they are selling.

why risk it? Dont go cheap and you wont have problems. Buy a quality product and youll always be happy. Youll be pissed if you get a crappy part so why not just save a little and get a better exhaust. Youll be happier in the long run.

Yea they have a little disclaimer in the tiniest font at the bottom of the page usually about how the product may not actually look like what the picture shows, it's kinda b/s cuz it makes it legal if they put it somewhere on the page.

basically, dont buy off ebay if you want parts. Unless you know exactly what your getting.
How many auctions did you see where it says GREDDY all huge then when you open it it says GREDDY style. Ebay sellers are shady alot of the time, and its easy to walk into a trap. Buy from a reputable seller.

Truehonda is a good bunch of guys, they saved me alot of money before and really know how to help people out. I strongly reccomend them.

You can get a magnaflow off of ebay (vender: exhaustman) for $350 shipped.

iTrader: (2)

the actual magnaflow is the exhaust id reccomend I gain 9 hp at the wheels with it.

MURDOCK

Yea the Ebay one must be a cheep knockoff at that price.

9 Hp is that what I can expect on a bone stock LX.

Seems like a lot of HP did you confirm it on a dyno?

marcuse

iTrader: (1)

9 HP , i want dyno ! heh.

the REAL magnaflow catback WILL put down 9hp on the EX. Im not sure on the LX. I got my magnaflow about a year and a half ago, so they were costing a bit more then. Just go straight to the magnaflow website, they have decent prices and you know they are real.

contact magnaflow for that if your soooooo interested. I dont have the time nor the inclination to " prove" anything to people on here.

This is sooo true. I purchased the HP header and Cat eliminator pipe. It was a good quality piece that does not fit correctly. After about a month or two I went back stock header. No matter how cheap it was, if it is not on the car it was a waste of money.

I have purchased a couple of thousand dollars worth of stuff from Eddie at TRUEHONDA.COM and this was the only piece I regret.

Hope this helps..

i've bought quite a few things from Eddie as well. good guy and he's willing to work with you if you don't like what you see on the site. hit him up on AIM or just call, he'll square it up.

i heard the gains where very good on the hp header and cat eliminator pipe but you have to do something special to get it to fit right. like remove a motor mount crank the engine up and then install the header then put it back in. something like that.there are threads on it. it was up for argument on being the best gain in hp but it lost torque ( the longer header). magnaflow seems to be the most common liked by people on here tone and performance wise. it is a little expensive but you could say you get what you pay for. if you have the money go for the magnaflow but otherwise you can true out the hp exhaust or wait and get a used magnaflow. like they said i would trust truehonda for carrying a good product. thats my .02

It helps a great deal thanks.

I like the web site at True Honda well laid out and easy to navigate.

talk to my boy tai he will hook you up, just tell him Glen sent you.

MURDOCK

I will keep this one in mind thanks.

But it looks like I might be dropping 100 on a CFH that one of the members has for sale here, just too good a deal to pass up.

So the cat-back is on hold for a while.

Hey civic-driver, I have done all the modifications needed for it to fit correctly. I cut a large portion out of my subframe, changed the front motor mount out for a stiffer and put in washers to push the engine back a little. Driving down the road it was fine, soon as you hit the brakes just a little the engine moves forward and the damn header rattles like a SOB. So a header, cat eliminator, o2 sim box, motor mount, cut subframe, time, time again. The pipes that made up the header where not bent to spec and it did not fit no mater how hard I tried to make it. So I went back to my OEM. If you plan on tracking your car only then I highly recomend the HP, if not then stay away. (If your read this Eddie, Sorry. Just my .02. I will do business again.)

I have had my Magnaflow on my LX since May 05. Fit perfectly and still holding up perfectly fine after 2 years, even with the heavy *** snow this year.
I say just find a place to get the Magnaflow cat-back, I paid $380 for it shipped, so it should be around there. Just make sure the place where you buy it has the same model number as Magnaflows sight.
