Verry noobish q's- extractors

[Kirri]

hey guys

as the title says this is probs a very noobish/stupid question but iv had a look around on here and cant find the info im looking for...

just wondering what type of extrcators i should get for my car... i have a civic 98 hatch and am thinking bout getting a pod filter, extractors (not sure wich 1's/type) a straight through system, and then a chrome tip probs bout 3"...

is there anything else i shud get/change too??

[TheFranchise]

not really a stupid question at all mate.

Firstly, what engine do you have?

Secondly, whats your budget?

Thirdly, why a straight through exhaust?

[Riced_Civic]

get sum rims and drop it as well

[Kirri]

oh ok then

um i dont no lol

budget is bout $1000,, maybe more

i herd that it wud giv best performance... wats ur opinion??

n i already have 17's.. chrome... love them

n will be dropping it b4 get exhaust dun!! yay

For $1000 you'll be able to get some 5Zigen ones...look through our Traders section for contacts.

A straight through exhaust wont always give best performance, especially on a N/A car. I'm no exhaust expert, but a straight through exhaust (or any exhaust for that matter) will need an ECU tune to live up to its full potential.

Also, it will be STUPIDLY loud.

Even after those mod's I think a stock civic on it's original wheel's will be faster.
Not bagging you,just giving you an opinion.

3" is 2 big for a civic (presuming it has a 1.6)

if u want a cheapish system get xforce extractors, high flow cat and catback... go maybe 2.5" max imo...

as for a pod filter, just get some intake piping down to ur front bar and put the pod down there so it sucks in cold air rather then heat from the engine bay....

Also 17" is not going 2 help u go fast on a civic... 16" biggest size u should go for imho, 15" is the best size(and tyres are cheap ass)...

Cheers Dave

ok as for the info on mags.. its too late with those lol i already love the ones i got.. not gunna change em any time soon

ok then i thort 3" wudav been ok.. but then i dont really no that much ha ha

for the cat back... go xforce 4 that 2?? 2.25?? thats wat i read sumwere else so yeah

[SHIFTY]

2.25 or 2.5 will be ok.... anything bigger is not really necessary. i am fairly sure xforce make extractors,high flow cat and catback for most civics...

Cheers Dave

you'd want to find out your engine code first

that'll make it heaps easier for exhaust places/traders to help you out with parts

for $1000 you would only get a few hundred change for the 5zigen headers.

Xforce is your friend

Its cheaper than the rest and even though it gets put down a lot, its really not that bad.

i have a set of xforce extrators for sale if ur interested.

i must say they are very bfyb.

i have since upgraded to a 4-2-1 hytech header and didnt find much improvement on the top end power (ie. 6K onwards).

but below that theres a world of diffrence. very responsive and makes very good torque. but it didnt come cheap.
