The Buddy Club Spec 2 sounds horrible. Farts for a while and then just sounds like a jet engine (which I don't mind too much I suppose). Iam getting into my Integra Type S in a few weeks and being dead stock I am looking at upgrading the exhaust asap. Has anyone got any pictures of the Toda and Fujitsubo systems as I have narrowed it down to those two with Toda headers.
the 5zigen pro-racer aspec exhaust is the way to go man... crisp on the sound. when its pushed.. boy it grants.. great exhaust for any honda enthusiasts. best of all, u dun have to pay such a hefty price for it. comparing to kakimoto & fujitsubo, it's the same quality and with a lower price tag.
i deal with honda cars almost everyday and for every reason., from price to quality.. 5zigen pro-racer series is the best for the top-end category.
PM me if u r interested in one.
anyone know of hks traders/sellers on here? Its now it or the powergetter with toda and injen. Thoughts guys? Also...which is dearer and by approx how much. Hi-power or Powergetter?
I think custom is the best. You can get the sound you want by adding as many straight through resonators you want to get the right note.

no cat usually just gives a louder bark and mostly sounds horrid on an NA car.
I dont know bugger all about the specifics of a DC5 exhaust, but if i were to take a pot at it id say a good spiral resonator, a high flow cat..and then the muffler to give the note...
Ive played around with mufflers abit...i dont think there is massive differences..i think mostly it would be due to the headers and the change in exhaust pulse up front.
It is a bit of a science..especially with NA cars..I think a good NA muffler (not a 3 inch straight through turbo muffler) should sound good. i remember reading a while ago that a quality designed straight through baffle in a muffler is successfull in cancelling out high frequencies and delivers mostly low frequency notes.
Resonators are important to give a deep crisp note, without them it becomes raspy and buzzes horribly, especially between gears.
And as for stainless VS mild steel..well
Let me just say, the thinner it is, the less noise comes out the tailpie and the more resonates ou through the wall of the pipe underneath the car.
Check the thickness of the pipes next time your at an exhaust shop.
What does interest me is the potential to go backwards by modifying the exhaust.Could this occur by just fitting a cat back on a DC5?, youd think the minimal change in backpressure would be advantageous.
