Icon2 DA Integra

Guess this is the right place to post :S

Hey Guys

I picked up my first car a little while back and it was a 1991 Honda integra, ive been stoked about the buy for a long time, only problem is, I lack knowledge of cars.

The other day i let my friend have a go, (he hates hondas so I tried to convince him they're not to bad) SOO we pull off at a set of lights to hear what sounded like a WRX, sadly, it was the teg, found out the exhaust has a huge crack and is rusted beyond repair.

I was doing a bit of reading, trying to learn the ins and outs, don'ts and do's, but still quite lost. I read somewhere that 2.25" inch is as big as you should go on stock so I'm thinking ill go with that.

1. How should I go about getting a new zaust? custom made? off the net?
2. Brands?
3. Any other little mods I could do while im at it? i really do love the look of low DA tegs, so would coilovers be the best way to go?

If someone could add me and help me out with my questions, would be appreciated.

Cheers! Moorey

I'll bite,

remember this is a 20+ yrs old car so regular maintenance is a given: Repair or Replace rear lower control arm bushings, front lower and upper ball joints, and the infamous water leak at the windshield on the passenger side and sometimes driver side. There's more but that's usually the first thing that pops in my head.

Quality exhaust: RS*R exmag (discontinued), Tanabe medalion touring (very quiet but flows nicely for basic bolt on setup, and Greddy exhaust. You can get a custom one by user KTeller, he sells custom kits that just needs welding.


For DA suspension, my personal choices would be Progress CSII (this what I have for daily driving 350/250 spring rates 350/350 for track days) and Ground Control/Koni sport. But if you have the money: KW suspension
