What, still not here? :confused:

The greddy evo design is more close to skunk2 exhaust design ( the size of resonator) which cause it louder than other design.
I mean there are many other brands from Japs
HKS, 5zigen, FGk, Tanabe, Mugen are still pretty quite for street and the quality of welding is exellence and still produce power. I mean in term of price also, Jtune is ain't cheap even though the advantages would be the reflash tune specified by hondata.
Ewww.... 5zigen....... and Mugen is just for show.
What are the gains on dyno for those 5 jap brands?
I'm not sure if any of the exhaust designs provide any noticeable power without ECU programming.
BTW, i've decided to go for the pulleys. I'll order it some time next month. There are more than 15 people on the TSX forums and many other who have installed it on their RSXs without any issues. I think it's a safe enough mod to do. I'm also thinking of installing a new battery and possibly a volt meter in the future just in case.
Will keep you guys updated! :)
I have to disagree, since I saw once one Dc5r with Mugen setup I/H/E plus mugen ecu produce 141kw atw on dyno dynamics and one Dc5r had similar setups without ecu still got 132 kw atw on the same dyno and the same day.
So totally I think it is not just for looks.
I mean Jtune exhaust itself would be still restrictive if not it won't be quiet. If you want to get maximum results get the N1 or competition use since it use less restrictive design or minimum like J's racing, spoon etc that focus on straight through design. Well anyway NA cars won't be like turbo cars when choosing exhaust would be so critical, since one good brand to another would be only very little to minimum comparison in terms of kw produced, the difference would only in quality of the matarials and looks.
You can't tell from those dynos how much the exhaust contributed to the gain. I'm sure that the Mugen I/H+ECU does make quite a bit but the stock DC5R muffler is pretty good too. BTW, JTune's I/H/E + reflash was dyno'd at 151kW on a Dynapack, while an Euro with intake and Fujitsubo exhaust got 118kW.
Eventhough JTune has a nice product, it means jack if they don't release it. Most of us have been waiting for over a year.
