a whale penis CAI is usually loud & great for performance.
Exhaust wise, i'd just get X force headers, catback 2 1/4 with a nice shiny cannon
That should give you heaps of noise. When your trying not to be noisy put the silencer on the canon

yeah wheere do i get these whale dicks from? I just bought some xforce 4-2-1 headers off here now i just gota get an exhaiust system! no cannon just a 4" dump tip brother haha
I don't see the point in buying a whale penis as such or a brand CAI simply for the fact that you're planning on going turbo.
Get a 3" pipe into the stock arm and hang a pod off it. You're not going to notice from a stock torqueless wonder.
Save you dollars!
can someone tell me where to get one from? Cant find any intakes on this site for a b16a surelly there a place in melb that sell stuff like this?
just get a SRI or CAI from ebay, with a decent pod unless you really want injen
IMO at the end of the day aluminium piping is aluminium piping
thanx boys. organised me one of those mockup whale intakes.. r they good?
one of these:

As for the whale penis, it looks good and sounds nice, but you'll probably get some bad heat-soak from the engine and probably won't end up with much power gains, if any.
That's why CAI is so good - it isolated the intake so that you only breathe cold air, which has a higher density than warmer air, allowing your engine to cram in more oxygen molecules.
You could try to lead a stretch-pipe from your bumper up to where your pod is to give it some sort of cold air feed maybe.
lol i did that last time and thats y my engine got flooded hahahaha sucked all the water up!
never seen the hype around audm b16 conversion in the eg. not worth the 3g. for a conversion, should have gotten a bigger engine.
imo, just go to any exhaust shop, tell em to weld u a pipe for ur intake, and get a 60mm exhaust. anything after that is not worth it as its just ur daily.
60mm is a bit big for a D-series though. Go 2" or you'll lose a fair bit of back pressure
hasn't he got a b-series?
60mm is about 2.36" which is what most JDM honda designed companies use for there exhausts.
i read somewhere about 'back pressure' and its just a load of shit when they say u loose back pressure on the exhaust when its got a large diameter, anyone know where that write up is?
*edit* i cant find the actual write up, but this sounds interesting :P

Like everyone else said, get whatever exhaust you want. I don't get this back pressure crap people talk about. If that's the case then no one should ever even touch their exhaust and leave the stock **** on. For me the better the exhaust flow the more hp you get. I myself have shorty headers, I want long tubes, offroad x pipe into magnaflow race mufflers with dumps. Mine has more of a racy sound. If you want that deep rumble then flowmasters or something similar with chambers with do.

Backpressure is an imaginary force that exists only in people's minds. I would not worry one bit about it. Instead, worry about the torque curve of your engine. Big primary headers can hurt low-end torque which is far from ideal for street use. Go ahead and run whatever exhaust system you prefer. I myself have BBK long tube headers and matching no-cat x-pipe on my '95 cobra. Also, I run delta 40's out back with the matching tailpipes. With a handful of other bolt-ons but no internal mods, it makes just a shade over 300 rwtq at 4000 rpm. And those are dyno-proven numbers, not numbers gathered from catalogues and best guestimates.
im confussed :S??
