Type r dc5 mods

[ellie123]

hey i have a dc5 type r 2002 model with aem cold air intake and looking to put in toda headers. i just need to kno if its any good to get those headers with custom 2.5 inch exhuast and cat with hks silent hi power muffler. also looking to get kpro done. Or is it better to get a branded exhaust system. everyone is telling me different things.

REally sux hey? why doesnt everyone just tell you ONE thing?....lol

I don't see the point of blowing $1200+ for a branded catback. I paid $450 for a custom 2.5" catback with xforce muffler inc fitting and welding, and it does the job just fine.

It's pretty loud, especially during vtec, but not so bad with normal cruising. Actually got EPA'd last month.

Does the job fine in what way? Making noise?

Have you actually compared your car with other exhausts on it on a dyno?

[krezii]

havent dynod it yet, but u can notice more top end power compared to my previous mugen twinloop. also feels more free revving

[ellie123]

so do u honestly think its not the same getting a custom exhaust. toda headers are goin in for sure. everyone tells me a pipe is a pipe

[ellie123]

dont quote me but i think the header+cat combo is more important than the exhaust...
i think choosing the right exhaust diameter is the tricky part

[Nuci]

If you want optimum power, pair up your toda header with a hi flow cat, and if you want a custom exhaust, ask for something 3" stainless with mandrel bends, and ask them to make it as straight as possible. Less bends = better flow, which should = more power.

You won't be able to get them around Australia, ask someone like a Japanese parts importer (don't know which ones in Sydney) to bring it in for you, do it yourself or can contact Jesse Streeter (well know importer). Also don't bother with a KPRO unless you've done quite enough mods to make it worth wild.

[ellie123]

a pipe is a pipe

tell that to the reputable exhaust parts manufacturers that have put many years of R & D into their systems. That's a very ignorant view.

Just go with everybody's favorite- fujistubo powergetter. They suit the dc5 nicely!
