just get the exhaust shop to chop it and weld it for ya ;)

or you could take the same route i took and get JDM DC5R headers and cat :D

Does JDM headers and cat fit a non-Type R, would u have a clue how much are they?
Mr thanh, have u got a non-type R as well, how do you find the JDM cat, any good?

i was gonna get JDM header and cat as well...but you will need to change the front sway bars...
the companies from japan that makes bolt on exhaust systems for the base model dc5 is 5zigen miracle fireball, which i had but it hella loud from the inside...but some people say it's quiet on the outside..??
there's also the HKS Hi-Power exhaust, but i think (80% sure) that this exahust is NOT full stainless steel....
and.....well, that's it for the base model...
i wouldn't get my $1300 plus cat back exhaust chopped up just so that it fits, and then get it chopped again when i get aftermarket headers and cat...

i think bone stock DC5 base dynos in at around 75kwatfw.

with jdm full exhaust, k&n typhoon intake and vafc2, i got 92.3kw :)

thinking to get buddyclub spec three, got an offer from a mate who had already mod it, but the thing that worry me the most is the sound is going to be damn loud, even with silencer on..would anyone has clue whats the piping size of a stock DC5?? does a new catback really gain power?? :confused:

Thanh,92.3 kw, thats awesome.. :D

actually...i might get sledged for saying this..but i don't think the base dc5 will gain in power from a jdm aftermarket exhuast....
might be more power on the top end only..but unless you drive at +5000rpm most of the time..it's pointless...

that would explain why i only got about 300km out of my last 47L of fuel :D

but yeah.. after installing the exhaust, i seriously didnt notice much difference at all.

Well, after listening to all these advises. i have changed my mind, getting only the muffler sound more money-wise.. but its hard to find people who sell only the muffler though..im after particularly the HKS titanium, they are gorgeous, but wondering where to get them..

there's the HKS ehaust for DC5R on ebay...seller is in Oz...but it's no titanium...
looks similar tho...going for very cheap!

Anyone selling Jap mufflers out there?preferable inlet 2.5inch..

Just got the Fujitsubo Power Getter installed today...love it...no regrets...would definitely recommend it!

ME still have the 5zigen proracer a-spec for sale guys ehehehe
*hint* *hint* heheheh

for the dc5r.. 1000
