because you don't get the badge, J's Racing, unless your exhaust store is good enough build one of them ![Smile](http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.png)
Although, does anyone actually know the difference in pricing if you were to get a custom exhaust instead of the J's 70RS or so?
is it much cheaper?

I haven't had a custom exhaust made up for a car for a while, but I know most of the money goes to the muffler.
But I would hazard a guess that you could get a good cat back exhuast + 2nd hand Kpro + tune for the same money as the 70rr... plus 2 or so extra months.

that's what I did. The K-pro + tune is the really the only way to go with modding the DC5R. It definitely has much more of a change in power then such an expensive exhaust

I've had a custom exhaust made up before.
Made that mistake once before too.
Quality isn't cheap to come by. Quality comes at a price.

Ask Nuci... he paid top dollar for his exhaust, and it wasn't a "perfect" fit, there was even thought that it was a fake.
Sure, I'm all for branded parts, and I am also a big believer in "You get what you pay for"... but $2.5k for a CAT BACK exhaust... with no resonator or muffler (The two parts that cost the most in a cat back exhaust)... come on, that's just retarded, especially for a street car. You are basically paying for a titanium pipe, which is going to be end up being illegal (Due to noise). It'll save weight over other metals, but if you spent the same money on K-Pro & Tune or Decent rims & tyres or even a full exhaust system and intake, you would see better results.
I know I'll be getting a custom 3' exhaust once I've got the K24 fitted, because I know LOTS of people have got great results with that sized exhaust when putting a K24 into… well… anything.

As much as i do agree with you in somethings that you have said, i still will be purchasing it as the two things i don't have out of the ones you've listed is K-Pro and a Tune.
hell i might even consider the 60RS but atm my mind is pretty much made up.

Get K-Pro, or spend the money on getting GOOD suspension.
That is all.

Good suspension will cost a lot more then a 2.5k catback A non built non tuned motor as mentioned by 45SET will see very little in the way of gains from just catback, i only saw a 4kwatw increase in peak kw with a powergetter and header with a 200 cell cat, also ended up running a lot richer in the process. The only thing you are assured of with an aftermarket VS custom exhaust is the exhaust sound which why i went powergetter (also got a great price )
