So... I have a 90 Crx Si that I bought down the street last june going on 200,000 miles with the regular D16a6 in it. I like the way it drives now, it is not really fast, but it is a hell of a lot faster than the 93 Dodge Dakota I was driving before. I am thinking about doing an engine swap, but I am a senior in high school, have very little money, and I need a reliable car through college so I can attend my drill dates for the reserve during college. However, I have been thinking about putting an exhaust system on my Rex with the d16 on there. Will I see an increase in horsepower, or would I be wasting my time? Also, I have done a little reading on engine swaps and I was talking to a guy that suggested hitting up the S2000 engine for my engine swap. Is that possible to drop S2000 engines in a REX?

I dont even know where to start with this post.......

1-you are wasting you time, to a point, just change the muffler
2-you will NEVER get the F20C in there without mucho $$ and lots of custom work

3- Start your own thread other than postin all that in this thread.

 

Does anyone have a sound clip of a d16a6 with a thermal R&D exhaust?

 

Nice rusty magnaflow and some crazy tip lol.

BC Spec II ftl

 

How does the performance of the HKS compare to the RSR and Thermal?

 

Tanabe Hyper Madallion vs Thermal 3" changed over when i went from non turbo to turbo. The thermal is the newer one in the pics, and has the smaller muffler exit port

 

i have a 88 hf with the st sway bar and adapter kit what will clear it?

 

Where is the option for no exhaust?

Just playin'. I can't wait for my cat to get here, my ears are starting to split...but it is such a mean sound.

 

hey GoFast...do you have any sound clips of the 3' thermal?

 

anyone have pics of bc spec 2 on a crx?

 

HKS -

 

right now my car is down ...blown head gasket it will be fixed in a few weeks and then i will get you a sound clip. to me it sounds as quiet as stock until you get on it. total sleeper

 

RSR BY FAR

 

Skunk 2 MP Catback.

It's a little loud, but with a good high-flow cat the sound is mean!

 

Anyone hear using some good flat black paint? sticks and doesnt come off after bad weather? which brand etc?
