Hey guys,
I have recently bought a 2004 DC5 Type R. I was looking at gettin and exhaust put in. Which one would be the best? also how much does the hondata ecu cost??
for exhaust go for the buddyclub spec 3 and the hondata ecu is going for roughly 2600 included tuning
if u want specific info on modding dc5 go to www.clubrsx.com
If your interested in ECU's, hold off for a bit cause I've heard that there are a couple more ecu's around the same price as a hondata that have heaps more functions than it...
ECU: HKS Fcon Pro
Exhuast: many to choose from
Fujitsubo has 2 - Power Getter and RM01A
5Zigen has 3 that i know of
Buddy Club - Spec 3 and Spec 4
Apexi
HKS Hi-Power
many many more...they are all about as good (performance wise) as eachother..just depends on what exhuast note you like listening to
and....clubrsx.com has all your questions answered..;)
2nd what mugs wrote...
Hope to see ur ride and u at the next cruise.
i ve seen dc5r with buddy club exhasust.. sounds awsome...
i have heard that the Hondata goes really good on a DC5 haven't seen many others on the DC5 except the Mugen ECU.
if you are after the hondata..go to forums.clubrsx.com and in the australia section someone is selling it for abt $2000 ++ i'm not sure on the exact cost and it comes with a full replacement ecu .....now that is smarter if you ask me :)
Hondata never is/was a full replacement ECU
i fink u should wait and see what a special Red Type R and soon to be Black Type R in melb will be like :)
You mean you have heard :DQuote:

i had this exhaust before
i love the sound!, there's nothing close to sounding the same as this..
5Zigen exhaust "special sound"
those with this brand will know what i mean
i've also heard the Fujitsubo PG on the Type R, not as loud, and not as powerful in terms of my butt dyno. Good quiet exhuast if you don't want to stand out
both are good catbacks, just depends on which one you like the looks/note/performance
both comes with silencers
I have got the BuddyClub Spec III and the Hondata and I am extremely impressed with the gains.
If you want poerformance, BuddyClub is the way to go. If you want quiet and comfortable, see elsewhere! :) I haven't done that excercise.
The gains on my car with the exhaust intake were big, they just got pushed up again with the Hondata.
yup!! this car hoots!!!Quote:

hahahaha funny suki... typo man typo... wat abt spoon..?? doesnt attract any unwanted guest but the tip is small...
Well. i got a DC5 type s but unfortunately none of the japanese cat-back can fit into my car, :( still shopping around for a good muffler then probably will custom make the piping, what do u guys reckon? another option is get the japanese catback then modify the whole thing in order to fit, but i seriously sont think thats a good idea..by the way, was told that e-manage doesnt work with K20A engine, how true is that, gentleman?
what do you mean you got a type S? you've got the 2005 Integra? the very latest one? with the standard 17" wheels and no LSD??Quote:

you either have the K20a2 or K20a3 if you're living in Australia...unless Honda Australia has secretly released the 2005 RSX version
Im so sorry, didnt make this very clear, I should have said i got a DC5 non-type R, just standard base model. i have been shopping and asking around for a JAp catback that can actually fit my car but unfortunately theres nothing on the market, im in Melbourne, i have tried chaser, n1, motorware, revzone and what i was told was the catback has to be modified, shorten or something...TOfu, would you recommend a place where i can actually get a catback that suit my car, :) , thanks so much, by thw way im a newbie, thanks for teaching. :thumbsup:
ive heard the hks hi power and it sounds wonderful :D

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 :DQuote:

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
if only i had the k20a2 header i would have bought it off you Suki...you know that... :(Quote:

hope this can help u!
finally got myself a buddyclub spec three..like the sound with silencer on, but when its off...wow..toooooooooooo loud until i have considered selling my headunit since it become functionless...:)
would anyone have a clue how to minimise the loudness of the exhaust? the buddyclub spec three is really loud untill i cant take it...help me....
HAUHAUHA... mmm sori dude... dun think u can minimise the sound..
maybe if u cut the resonater and put a HUGE one in.. dat mite help
AHHAHA be warned to ppl thinking of buying the BC3 in eastern states..
Pretty sure u'd get picked up by cops ..... we here in WA are abit more lucky...
buy earmuffs for u n ur passengers especially for those sitting at the back seat... hehehehe
thanks for the rewarding advices....guys...muhahahahamuhahaha
came up with two ideas..first, take it off and sell it...had it for less than a week only
second, do what suki said..chop off the resonator and dumb in a bigger one...hope that will help...but most likely im gonna sell it and get hks..apparently it sound awesome.......and most importantly its much much more quiter, thats what matter....
;) the BCIII is bloody loud! to be honest i wouldnt cut it and whack on another resonator - might make it harder to sell later on.... maybe change exhaust?Quote:
