huh.?

just to add some juice to the fire,

ive personally seen a back to back, stock cat plus HKS cat back on an aussie P72 B18C realise a very healthily rising curve from about 4000rpm to 15kW peak,thru the stock cat being punched out & dollied up dead straight 2.5" pipe to the rear of the car held up by a jack stand.

was on an indoor dynojet & the fricken loudest thing ive ever heard in my life.

I don't intend to drag this thread any more off topic than it already is, except to correct Mr Claymore's insight into the thinking behind my "radiator upgrade thread".
The asumption that I asked a "noobie" question regarding radiator sizing in a civic also asumes that i would have little understanding of WHY you would upgrade a radiator in the first place. It is my experience that heat transfer and eventual rejection is very model specific and that is indeed the reason for the question.
Noobie to Honda... yes!
Noobie to internal combustion....no.
But thanks for the welcome!!!!:thumbsup:

Well I went to my muffler shop to get the resonator taken out but he talked me out of it,saying I will lose low/mid range, but he wasn't sure about the twin loop muffler and how it works exactly....
My set-up:
d16y4 (non-Vtec) Automatic
X-force headers
2" exhaust
Hi flow metal cat
Resonator
X-force twin loop exhaust

I definately don't want to lose low/mid range on my daily.What do you guys think?

removing the resonator won't do squat but make it sound a bit different

true on a honda :p

~2wkw gain on sr20 back to back.. but the rubber intake on that engine was a huge hindrance to begin with

It's has been doing my head in! So I'm happy to hear that.It will make it more droney sounding in the car too wouldn't it?

dont do it. You'll regret it.
