I am getting a FULL exhaust now, not just a muffler. It is going to be 2.25" downpipe from the RRM header to cat, Magnaflow HFC, custom 2.25" piping, a Magnaflow resonator, and then the Magnaflow muffler. After I get it installed I am getting it tuned by the local shop with my new SAFC Neo. I am hoping for pretty good top end gains with a little more midrange while maintaining good low end torque. Will post results!

 

YEAY! Power

 

Nice! Post up some pics of the finished product!

 

To each there own, but to pay a shop to "tune" a bolt-on is definitely not on my agenda...

 

^Agreed, wait till you have more on there before you pay to get it tuned.

 

+2

wait till you got a WHOLE bunch of N/A mods, or if you plan on eventually going turbo, wait till then.

 

The car isn't tuned right now... There are always reasons. When it was installed they only trimmed a few percentage of fuel. After the exhaust they will FULLY tune it. And besides cams I am about done with bolt ons :/

 

A cam (we're SOHC) isn't a bolt on, it's in the category of engine internals.

 

ready for rice? i have it too.

 

hes just short of a tb from having full intake and exhuast? i tuned mine and got some descent power out of na.

 

what makes it sound so ricey? I was hoping I would get away from that :/

 

Ever hear a civic rally car? Running an open exhaust on a NA 4 banger is what makes it ricey, it can't really be avoided.

 

ian, do urself a favor and get a resonator sir.

 

True, a resonator will help.

 

i have the full magnaflow exhaust with the resonator i love the way it sounds. Except if I rev the engine, when it comes back down to 1000 rpms it like backfires or something weird...
