G'day, was just speaking to Midas. Got the following recommendation from them which went against what a lot of people have told me.

My Car: 1995 Honda Civic EG VTi (D16Y1 SOHC VTEC)

Recommendation:
- 2" press bent pipe
- glass pack muffler
- extractors
about $700 for about 8-10kW gain give or take

Explaination:
- 2.25" is too big for the engine. Would actually lose power.
- mandrel bent a waste of money for little airflow gain.
- hi flow cat waste of money for the slight airflow gain.

- with the new system should feel more responsive throughout the rev range, better overtaking and about a 8-10kW (vague) peak power gain. But more about the feel and sound than top end power.

A lot of you will've put exhaust systems on your cars. You should have some ideas about what worked and what could've been better. What you would've done differently if you had your money again....
