lol... australia best tyres.. thats where i got my new yokohamas fitted and balanced

[black8thgen]

lol apparantly they do some good exhaust work too. or do u reckon wests mufflers is betteR?

[JOhnnyFD]

west mufflers dont have a huge workshop area compared to aussie best tyres.. but i do know that wests do great welding and custom pipes coz obviously they specialise in mufflers & catbacks.. cant say about aussie best tyres coz i only went there to get my tyres as the name suggests (e.g lik u dont go to westside mufflers for tyres haha)

[black8thgen]

lol yeah fair enough. at first i was pretty surprised they do some custom specialised piping - offered to do me 2" piping with extractors and a muffler of choice installed for 900 - reckon thats a fair good price?

i'd spend a bit more and get a branded exhaust.
someitmes can also be better made.
also resell value is more.

[JOhnnyFD]

agree with dez

i would wait out for a branded full exhaust system then get a custom one, but each to his/her own.. becoz customs dont necessarily guarantee better performance or not all that better, whereas well-known branded ones do research into quality, performance through testing etc.

[black8thgen]

Ahh okay, fair enough. I'll probably just go for the muffler change for now - then wait for some branded catback or something to come out... btw how much do u reckon we'd be looking at for like a buddyclub catback or something?

btw found a j's racing full catback for our fds: from ozhonda trader JDMCONCEPT. Although its pretty damn pricey lol... and with a full catback like these, changing it to ur own muffler would kinda ruin it wouldnt it?

J'S RACING TITANIUM FX FULL CATBACK SYSTEM 60RS - CIVIC FD - WAS: $2195.00, NOW: $1795.00 PICK-UP
Weighing only 4.5kg to 5.9kg for each catback roughly. Race proven. save KGs!!
STATUS: IN STOCK NOW, READY FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY!

j's racing catback needs modifications to fit FD1...i already asked the guy

[black8thgen]

oh really. loll.. if catbacks are all going to be around the 1.5k+ mark... i think i'll just go custom at 900 inc installation + extractors... =D. Pretty confident that these guys can make em good quality

[dannybubu]

well everything is expensive now since the AUD is so low...well you got any proof that there will be power gains? no point putting in $900 just for noise and minimal power gain right?

[black8thgen]

yeah i get what u mean, but for a genuine one at like double the price... well i'll see how things go first, have a chat with the guy there my dad knows, he claims that it takes a couple hundred km for the new system to settle in, then u feel the power gains.
