greddy catback installed

just got the greddy catback and i love it. working at a shop is great. i got the thing for our cost and it hit me up for 405.00 plus shipping so this can be a little reference for those who are buying it you can work a little because you know what they cost. anywya i love it and cant wait for it to break in a little. im gonna go throw my temporary intake on now until i get the giant slug put on. oh does anyone know where i could find a dyno chart or hp gains for the catback?

I was supposed to get the Greddy Cat-back, but i just backed out.. Coz the company im orderin it from here in my place is askin $725.00 ... Cant order online or from RRM because i dont have a credit card.. So instead, i bought a universal A'PEXi N1 Muffler from japan, and made it a custom cat-back.. I asked the muffler shop to make the piping 2.25 .. And it sounds badd-a$$... Plus i can feel the lil' power kick...

Mine still burns my bumper....even with heat resistant tape



I still love it....however my bumper doesn't....still wondering why GReddy made a 4 inch exhaust and not a 3-3.5 inch exhaust....especially if they aren't backing up the exhaust with headers or a turbo kit......

Nonetheless it's still hands down the best performance part on my car.....other than my suwheet s2000 antenna (50 whp btw)

Quitcher*****in'!!! My tip burns my bumper too however it's only from about 1 inch behind the edge of the bumper, therefore you only see it if you're lookin' for it. If you ever look at the kaminari kit rear bumper lip up close, it almost looks as if they made if for the GReddy exhaust because the exhaust tip inlet is tappered back so it doesn't even come within about 2-3 inches from where our bumpers are gettin' burned. I'm seriously thinking about a Kaminari kit investment.

Oh, and by the way, whoever told you that you were getting 50 whp off your antenna is smokin' crack. The Honda manual states only 35whp on S2000 antenna. Check your sources... *****.

so there's no way to avoid the burning of the rear lip? does this happen to everyone or is there a way to get around it?

The only thing I've seen that looks like it might remotely work is the stainless steel heat sheild that is on the Evo FQ300. One of our guys here has a black one and his pics (great by the way) clearly show a stainless steel heat sheild. It looks sick but so far nobody knows how to obtain one. I've been off the forums for a minute so that might have changed.

Like I said before, it's about an inch back from the edge of the rear lip and you can't see it unless you search for it. You definately can't even see it if you stand 5 feet away from mine. I plan on tackling this issue with the Kaminari body kit. Like it said earlier, this kit was designed for a hot-*** exhaust and the molding on the rear lip is taperred inward so the actual size of the exhaust opening hasn't changed but the angle at which it moves into the car is obtuse so that the tip will never come close to the lip.

Too sick!!!

I've got the Kaminari Rear and the greddy doesn't melt my bumper at all..maybe the Kaminari pieces are made out of more durable, heat resistant plastic??

It's for the reasons that I just mentioned in my last post. If you look at your bumper you will see that the edge of the bumper that goes around the exhaust tip moves AWAY from the tip as it goes into the bumper.
