Went to the drag racing track today
I ran my Civic EX Sedan today at Englishtown, New Jersey. I've got an AEM SRI, Revo SS Kit, AEM Tru Power Pulley's and DC Header. Did a synthetic oil change and Denso Iriudium spark plug change a few days before. Before my best 1/4 mile time, I took out the spare tire, jack and only had a quarter tank of gas (93 Octane). Below is my timeslip in writing. I don't have a scanner. I'm hoping a high flow cat and cat back exhaust will get my time under 16 seconds for the 1/4 mile next year. It was 48 degress and sunny the day of the 1/4 mile run. Any suggestions in getting my quarter mile time in under 16 seconds?
REACTION TIME: .603
60': 2.479
330: 6.788
1/8: 10.384
MPH: 67.52
1000: 13.490
1/4 TIME: 16.121
MPH: 84.26

Rep Power: 270 Use lower octane i would think to. You have no mods that are going to make you use higher octane. Your just wasting you money and who knows if it is even helping. You can easily get to the 15s with a better 60' good luck

I've heard of manifold-back exhausts where they upgrade everything that connects to the manifold.
I've heard of turboback exhausts where they upgrade everything that connects to the turbo.
I've heard of catback exhausts where they upgrade everything that connects to the catalytic converter.
Tell me, where does your axle hook into the exhaust?

Go to HKS's website. It says clearly that exhaust for our cars is an AXLEBACK system.

Rep Power: 0 Oh I get it... so when a company uses terminology thats blatantly rice and/or is trying avoid saying "replacement muffler" it suddenly becomes acceptable terminology?"
Wow, HKS has really gone downhill since I owned a 1g eclipse 10 years ago.
