Starting out Hey guys new to the forum I Previously owned a 01 Lx coupe with a few mods here and there, mostly show and no go (I could keep up with my roomates 92 prelude untill about 50) but any way traded it and got a 05 EX SE just ordered AEM pulley set and K&N typhoon system....(I'll let everyone know how that goes in a few days) I was wondering though if anyone had any information on a good exhaust and header set up while still retaining the factory cat, and any other upgrades. worth noting with out going turbo yet. :2pimp: (P.S. before anyone posts any "its not worth it" crap about swaping or turbo kits are the only way to go for d17 eat me your wasting your time) |
:shrug: |
its not......... |
its not worth it swaping or turbo kits are the only way to go |
also NOS but yea, if you want more than 10 added horsepower you have to do something other than I/H/E......max 10 horsepower that is |
do what you like! I suggest a DC header and an RS*R or APEX'I WS II exhaust. |
Yeah.... good luck.... |
Personally I like my little d17a2, its understated but I see potential. My roomate and I were out tonight and I raced a prelude with a h23, headers, cold air, exhaust, and a few other things and although i didn't win i hung with him enough that he had trouble believing that I was completely stock. My self knowing what kind of improvement I got from my 01 lx with just an intake new plugs and an exhaust am completely confident in the d17's capabilities. So as soon as I get my fisrt couple of mods under my belt for the 05 I'll vid a race between me and my roomies lude to see the improvement. |

the rsr is a great exhaust as far as looks and design, but i'm getting rust on the supposed ceramic coated pipes and muffler. i would've gone with the apex world sport had i known that. |
I couldnt bring myself to spend 500 dollars for an exhaust for my civ. I bought a muffler at a car show for 60 bux and had the muffman run cat back for 170. I feel that i got the same 3hp and paid half. |
well yea with this car you are paying for looks and sound. i don't think it was worth $500 but its still nice. i just hope it doesn't rust a hole in it cause thats not gonna sound very good. |
well i spent 500 plus on my tanabe when it first cam out for the 7thgen and its all stainless steal still looks great but i have to have it welded back together twice and have a hanger welded back on. its a great exhaust though sounds good. its got a deep tone to it and its not raspy on the high end. i think its the best sounding exhaust iv heard on a 7thgen |
do some suspension stuff. your better off |
