Ok. RSR exmags are harder to find than WS2's.. w/e i can find first thats cheap. With basic bolt ons, Intake, Headers,Full exhaust with HiFlo cat, would i gain like 15 HP ?? noob question. haha. I can get my car tuned for free so i mihgt tune after thsoe suimple bolt ons. Thats why i want to make sure i get a Solid setup for my exhaust.

I have an LS BTW.

If you tune you might see 5hp max gain if that.

you do know that rsr outlet muffler is for a db8 teg bnot a dc2.. it would fi after you play with it after a while :p but also if u click on buy it button it says it out of stock(atleast last time i checked) I want to buy another rsr muffler as a spare.. but greddy sp2 is the closest thing to exmag, Greddy headers are decent headers for the $.. better than dc sport thats for sure! I owned one for a while before i upgraded :D

umm prolly you'd be better off taking that 800 and buying a b16 tranny or something that will improve your acceleration far more than i/h/e w/ tune.

ehh. i think i'm good with a GSR tranny. o well, headers i'm gettin for 50 bucks, intake i alrady have, and exhuast i'm gettin super cheap. maybe total of 400 tops. and a Free tune. LS motors aren't the best tho. =/ possibly LS-T later on. But i ugess im' gona look for WS2 or RSR with magnaflow piping or Type R piping.

I disagree completely. Comptech is not loud at all. Had it on my GSR and it was amazing. i only replaced it to put on a Mugen Gen1 exhaust. I dont like any greddy products because all 3 i've been in contact with have blown all the baffling out. Comptech>apexi>greddy

all of this from experience

WS2 SUUUUUUCKKKS!
not Raspy? are you guys crazy? That's the SINGLE raspiest exhaust out of the 4 i've seen listed.
For a good Idea of what exhaust to go with for yourself, or to listen to some of them youtube it. It's to bad you have a dc4, because when I had my SP2 the vtec crossover with a 4-1 JDM 2.5" replica header, with a test pipe sounded PHENOMINAL.

I personally don't hear any "raspe"

SP2= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRC8-GmqxPo

1:01 seconds...sounds pretty raspy to me?

WS2= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow-nnHLNrho

Again...pretty raspy.WS2 again =
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-kA9...eature=related

Sorry, but I just personally wanted to save the man the disappointment of having a raspy annoying exhaust. This was all just my 2 cents.

honestly dude, with the mods you have, any "close" race you're involved in is just going to come down to driver error lol. I/h/e really isn't going to do much, 20 horsepower if that?? which the guy next to you could have compensated for by gutting his interior on his car which could be stock ya know?
I'm not sure how much the muffler it self goes for...search? Local shop?
I've got an entire catback for a 4 door sitting in the garage that's been sitting around for WAY to long...maybe you could use the entire axle back? It's only got about 5k on it and garaged in the winter.

as far as the exmag goes, to my knowledge they're still almost impossible to get ahold of.
And also, my brother had an 01 gsr and was actually pissed because it was quieter then stock...that's not a joke either.

Lol. Sorry i didn't let you guys know. I'm not looking for Major Gains in Hp. i know I/H/E doesn't do that much. If i do to actually put some work into this car, it would be to turbo it. So these mods are jsut for fun.. plus i'm getting everything cheap. Only thing is Finding the stupid WS2 muffler.

I honestly don't even know why you're going to do this if you already know you are boosting it...
Are you getting a full catback system or are you welding a muffler to something?

catback. i'm doing this because i don't want to drive around for a year or more with a 3" exhaust. I;m too poor for a turbo setup right now.

How about Hytech? They make a twin-loop muffler that's 2.5 from header to exhaust tip and it sounds great.

I got one on my EJ1 with a B18C1 swap.

They do look similar but the Hytech is 2.5" and the Mugen is only 2.36.

Cost-wise, I spent 2300 and got their header, b-pipe, a second b-pipe for using my stock GSR header with the cat and muffler setup when I take their header off, high-flow cat, resonator and muffler.

I'd say all in all it's a good deal. The quality is superb and it works together as a system instead of something just thrown together from various vendors.
