Found one problem when we changed the differential.
The bearing was cracked and the intermediate shaft was bent.
Thank God we changed out the differential

Honestly the 3 inch exhaust is going to be too much. All the EP3s and RSXs that I've seen with CN kits make more power on 2.5 instead of 3 inch exhaust.

Poor jayson,

Is there any way you can take a pic of the clearance between the subframe and the 3in downpipe? I'm currently getting a new downpipe being made. I had a bad case of wheel hop on street tires. The downpipe was banging on the subframe reinforcements. I'm thinking of just getting a 2.5 flared to a 3in. I'm also getting stiffer mounts from hasport (77). The ones I got with the esk1 kit arent stiff enough. Anyhelp would be appreciated thanks.


BTW:My car is up in ny waiting to go in the shop. I'm stationed in nc. Which is why I can't take a pic myself.

Ebay but it didn't sell and I contacted the autowrecker directly and made a deal with almost everything I needed.
