Ok so heres the deal. I feel in love with the Evolution the second it came out and never got one. In 2-3 weeks i will FINALLY be getting one and that clock is moving way to slow. I don't know a good amount about cars with the exception of some areas. (im used to NA, had an RSX-S and did all my own work on it)


now over time ive gotten a list together of everything im going to do and in what order because i think i have OCD and theres nothing better to do in school.

Is the APS 3.5" TB too much for the stock car? Friend of mine put it on his STI with little modifications, just a few bolt ons and the car ran fine. Not to mention sounded amazing.

Otherwise i wanted to do a full Ti CB by JIC or Greddy and add a DP and cat delete later on.

Which am i better off doing?

In case youre wondering i do not plan to pull out 500 HP out of this car......i think

 

you dont plan on going for 500 hp YET! untill u reach your goal of what 400 then its addicting u get bored its not enough and u need to keep GOING! eheheh i plan on getting 400+ and stopping..................... yay i bet ill say that when i reach it heheheh

o and about the exhaust im sure if they are selling it it will b ok i dont know if thier is much point in it being that big but im sure it will run

 

sounds stiffy..

 

Basically im looking for one mean *** exhaust. Something huge and as non-ricey as possible. Vivid's Evo sounded very nice, almost european.

 

I would say 3,5" is over kill for you, a decent 3" would be a better choice. This is purly from a performance point of view though.

 

Yeah i think go for the 3"..

 

Who knows how much APS 3.5?

 

There might be a backpressure issue with an exhaust of that diameter. I have a full 3" with RT cat and it works great

 

I can't remember where I read it, but someone said that anything larger than 3" diameter exhaust would cause backpressure problems meaning a significant loss of torque at low RPMs.

 

Not sure if you have 500hp

 

Yea i think you're all right about the 3".

Now...Greddy or JIC Ti. cat back?

anyone heard the JIC Ti> I havent heard much about it except for the small write up on vivid.

oh such a difficult decision

 

i have vishnu signature 3" turboback w/hiflow cat. well built

 

It will be LOUD. The STi exhaust note sounds nothing like the evos. If you want a sweet sounding exhaust, I don't think this is the one for you.

 

yea Im curious to know what a JIC cat-back sounds like on the EVO

 

oh i know the exhaust notes are completely different due to the flat 4 on the STI and a bunch of other things. I just want a nice system thats a little louder than usual and wont fall apart.

Where is my answer?
