Dedicated DA9 Q & A thread

Did you notice any difference in throttle response? Do you remember the seller you bought it from? Cheers.

You will see a slight increase in performance from the better flowing muffler but do the whole cat back at least. That way you can upgrade the header and cat later on without having to muck around with the mid section again.mdont expect much of an increase either way though.

Hey guys, saved up a bit of money and was looking at a few mods to increase performance.

The rear section of my exhaust (from the flange in front of the diff to the tip) is rusted like all hell, and was wondering if I increased the size (to say, 2.25" press bent) and deleted the stock muffler to add a nice flowing aftermarket one, would I see an increase in performance? Economy? I want to reduce the amount of bends as the stock exhaust looks incredibly restrictive towards the rear.

Also, I was looking at buying a cheap eBay SRI and making my own heat shield/CAI pipe in the bumper, any suggestions here?

Cheers.

Post something interesting or informative that I don't already know and I will give you one! You have been doing lots of research so surely you have learnt something?

Cheers Mooshie, doing the whole cat-back is a bit out of my price range, and only the diff-tip section needs to be replaced, not after huge gains, just a nicer note than factory and a bit of extra flow.

By diff to the tip i assume you mean the rear section from the rear suspension as the diff in our cars is in the gearbox next to the engine... Missed that before! If you just want to do it cheap and only want a slightly deeper sound then get a Lukey or similar muffler and mount it transverse like OEM, don't go for the cannon straight through style as this will be a lot louder and sound crap.

To be honest, not really. I had already removed the piping before the filter, but not the resonator. Mad induction noise when going WOT though. Sorry, can't remember the seller. All the one-piece CAIs on ebay look the same anyway, they probably come from the same factory. Have a look for a little tab near the filter that mounts to one of the old air box holes, it secures the intake.

anyone gonna be interested in brian crower stage 2 NA cams?
im moving to turbo so need some turbos ones
or shud i be posting on ebay when time comes?

[93Integra]

Sorry, my last car was an R31 so I'm still in the RWD mode of thinking haha. Yea, the flanged section that starts just before the back wheels.

I would never put a cannon on any car I own, they sound like arse, literally =/. I'll see if he can bump the size up to 2.25" or something, and just put a nice flowing muffler on the end, cheers

No worries Rayle, I'll have a browse, thanks for the reply guys .

Don't want the cams sorry but what's the plan for turbo?!

Hey boys, do any other sway bars fit on a DA?

[mooshie]

long time to answer, but for fromt sway bar only the DA will fit. for rear you can fit any DC sway including Type R but you will need some form of subframe reinforcement kit as our subframes have a lighter design due to our rear sways mounting to brackets on the chassis.




In other news, I scored a coin tray in perfect condition today! only issue is that it is black, my turbo DA9 has a grey interior and i already have a coin tray in the DA6's blue interior. I do have a black interior in the red wreck but there are other parts of that interior that are not immaculate.. what to do?!
