Nice work mate,

would love to see it in a good photo shoot - some shots are a little dark so hard to see those rims! But otherwise looks very clean - nice job :-)

paint is 2pak :)

more pics coming!

hey, nice car. super clean

i like :thumbsup:

nice man.
but i think 17s are a tad big for eks. maybe 16" :)

yer i was going to get a set of buddy club p1 sf, 16'' gunmetal, but no money..

but these 17'' dont look it they somehow look smaller.. ill get more pics done soon after polish and wax

does anyone know a good cannon muffler (n1 style) which isnt ricey sounding? i have 2inch piping catback but thinking of changing the muffler just for looks..

I guess it's personal opinion, but i'm not a big fan on the canons. You tend to just look like every other 'ricer' because you just hear so so many sh*t sounding ones around!

I'd recommend a hi-tech sports muffler (Hi-Tech Mufflers in Sydney) - I just had a Hi-tech s/s cat and 2 inch back piping with sports muffler installed + 4inch angle tip and it sounds f*king awesome. Deep and smooth, no rasp in it all - just the way a Honda should be. And it looks good too + a 10 year warranty and all products are dyno proven:

Often those cheaper canons sounds ricey towards the middle/top end of the rev range, but not Hi-tech. It's so funny watching people turning around because they just don't believe a little Civic can sound that good. It's worth every penny in my opinion.

hmm, i might look into it, just had a talk with a mate he said with stock d16 engines if i was to use cannon (straight thru design) mufflers i wont have backpressure, and that my current setup with a triflow muffler is best for the engine that i have

i guess i might just get a bigger tip and have the muffler positioned a little bit lower, i might need to cut the lip a bit so i can have the tip sit flush like yours alvis. did yours come stock like that?

get a xforce twin loop u have a choice of the s10 and s12
s10 has a smaller barrel and s12 has a long and bigger barrel,its a copy of the mugen twinloop but u wouldnt wanna spend that much just on looks, anyways ways looks good and doesn't sound loud unless u give it, i like it cuz it doesn't give me a headache when im driving.

which one do you have EK1_D, and im guessting the S10 is the copy of the mugen twinloop because they are both round?

in terms of the sound, do you know if there is any difference between the two? which is louder or deeper etc?

i have the s10 i havent heard the s12 yet but i think the s12 should sound softer cuz bigger barrel, its a soft deep sound not farty like most cannons.

thanks the for the input man, heading down to autoexec tomorrow to pick up an s10
