Re: Issue getting car to fire with new neptune rpt system

The car fires but not as crisp as id like. Since you mentioned Cranking fuel, it could be adjusted. What is a good amount to add at a time?

Re: Modified exhaust, do all hondas sound this bad?

Keep the piping and the muffler you have and go back to the shop and buy the long perforated (holes not slits) 2.5"resonator, and get a round 2.5"magnaflow muffler.
That should calm it down.
