Is an rbc manifold worth it tho? I'll be getting kpro this week so I thought maybe it might be worth getting before a tune. But I'm also considering a new exhaust. What are the gains going from 2.25 inch to 2.5 inch vs getting a RBC?
vtak + jrsc = bwwaaaahinneeeee
IF GUNS don't kill people, peoplekill people does that mean that toasters don't toast toast, toast toast toast?

Gains will be seen when upgraded in conjuction with with a Kpro, as well as a 70mm throttle body.
In regards to exhaust sizing, go to a 2.75in or 3in exhaust for best power and torque gains
RBC is definitely worth it, just depends on whether or not you are willing to make it fit. Ultimately if you are going to the lengths to get it tuned, you want an RBC + minimum 2.5" exhaust. What header are you using? Thats where the real gains are...
Headers are plm, which i think might be leaking around the slip joint. Money is restriction there's a guy selling a brand new rbc manifold, modificated to be a straight swap for the ep3 and dc5 engines.
To make it fit on the ep3 there was an installation guide in his ad where he just undid the front support bolts and pushed it forward to make more space then redrilled the holes to for the bolt to go back on. Here it is http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/151091894071?redirect=mobile
He rabbles on alot about it lol but I'm deciding to get one or the other. Just wanted to see what would net greater gains by itself after a tune. I was considering 3" exhaust but every 3" I've heard sounds too loud and after a certain rpm it don't sound nice to my ears j's racing 70rr for example. Apparently lose some power too due to less back pressure or something :S I might get exhaust custom made by a good shop tho.

You're more than welcome to check my 3" setup out yourself one day man, I'm in Brisbane too.
I pieced mine together myself, using a Vibrant resonator and muffler, and 200cell metal cat. 3" mandrel bent stainless piping. All up together it was ~$1k in total including all fabrication labour and materials.
This is an idea of the sound (filmed in mexico lolol)
Can I just say on a random note, thank you guys so much for all of your assistance since I have been on here. You guys have helped me with heaps of stuff and troubleshooting on the EP3. Sadly I need to sell it but so don't want to Have you guys got any ideas of good places to advertise such cars besides on here obviously? I have an interested buyer but she needs to sell her 8th Gen Type R first. I really want it to go to a good home and preferably to a Honda enthusiast. My family all have Honda's and we LOVE them, mum has an Accord and dad has a NSX Type R and I have the EP3 Type R. What do you all like the most about your EP3?

Does your dad own a yellow NA1R by any chance?
Sad to hear your selling up =(
I was just wondering, anyone have any 0-100 km/h times?
I've done some dodgy iPhone passenger timings, nothing to serious but I get times from 5.8 - 6.3 seconds; depending on how well I launch.
Keep in mind I have some shitty as Sailun tires.
Anyone getting better times?
Also how do our EP3's go against the more recognized sports cars such as EVO 7/8's, 06 WRX STI's, R34 GTR in terms of 0-100 KM/H?
