while everyones talking bout d16 exhaust se ups i am curious to know whats d best set up for my ek1, i currently have a DIY cold air intake that uses the original stock box but has the pod filter sitting inside, i also have 4-2-1 extractors but the rest of the exhaudt is all stock.
i like it how it sounds atm because its all engine noise and sound nice when it opens up, kinda like a wannabe v-tec but unique,
i guess the question is am i restricting the motor by leaving the stock muffler on?
should i change it to increase flow or increase 1hp.lol
maybe just get a bigger tip... but imagine if you could make your exhaust snap, crakle and pop - best of both worlds then :D
Indeed.Quote:

I know you're on a budget but you asked for a 'good' one so I can recommend Hitech Mufflers - I got mine with a catco usa high-flo cat, 2 inch s/s piping and muffler - but they might be able to show you some other options as well... I'm sure they are heaps of muffler shops out there...

hitec looks like there good quality but they work on Ferraris, Lamborghinis and other exotics and then there gonna have this little sohc civic rock up looking for performance hahahaQuote:

We tried cutting the tip back as far as possible without riksing cracking it, but it was still just too wide & long & even if we got it fitted it would look ridiculous. So I ended buying a smaller 3.5" angled tip
from the guys who fitted the muffler. Looks like Alvis' tip:
After we got it fitted, it looked really good. Much better than the huge cannon tip. Once we were done, we started it up and it sounds AMAZING. It's very deep & not too loud. It's barely noticeable at idle & low revs, but opens like a beast when you accelerate, but again, not too loud. No raspiness or 'tinny' noises either. I'm very, very happy with how it turned out.Quote:

Oh nice!
I'm planning to go with this universal twin loop for my ek sedan also (since finding an OBX twin loop with 2.5" inlet pipe seemed rather hard).
Did you have to custom any piping or anything at all? and how much did the job cost Trance?
Cheers man,
