I spent quite a bit of time reading on SC K builds awhile back when I was considering the platform more, and from what I saw adding an aftercooler on these positive displacement chargers is definitely worth it. Has a dramatic decrease in IAT and helps produce a substantial amount of more clean power.

I would definitely get that done, personally.

Edit: I also think it would be really cool if you could somehow figure out how to fabricate an airbox for your intake, so it's not just sucking hot air right from the header area. Your setup, with the filter/intake placement definitely makes that a bit difficult. That along with the cooler would drop your IAT so much.

I have one on my otherwise stock EM1, I love the sound inside and outside the vehicle.
It's a wonderful catback solution.

Ooh! Here is the Noir version for $279.00! I need to measure the length of my current muffler, and check dimensions on this Apex-i one. If it will fit that's a real option.

Here's a comparison of GReddy EVO, Vibrant, and Greddy SP.

Man, this car is immaculate. The best executed example of function and form that I have seen, in an EG no less!


I already have close to $10k into my shitbox, and it'll still be a shitbox after I put another 10 into it...

If this were to happen to this car I'm pretty sure HT as a whole would be so pissed that thief would have one hell of a time...

This is one of the best Civics I've ever seen as far as a combination of cleanliness, power, and practicality.

Hopefully next year my little black Si will be a bit more comparable

Is the Noir better in some way(s) than the WS II?

Thanks for all the love, peeps!

Like this? BTW some will say it's photoshopped - it's not. The first few pics were taken circa 1999 with a Sony Mavica shitty-*** diggy camera that took an actual 3.5'' floppy disks for memory cards. The picture was always grainy, and it's been copied/pasted and hosted so many times the "quality" has degraded a lot.











:D

I'll snap new ones of me and the green hatch sooner than later.

While I'd never dare someone to, or boast that it's not possible, I will say that I've got multiple layers of tracking, and security. I'm not out on the town, and leaving it parked at malls, the movies, etc. It is literally never parked outside of my home, and my job has barb'd wire fencing, badged entry gates, roaming security, and I park under a very good camera as well as have tracking mechanisms in place should someone get frisky. I literally get a phone notification if my ******* moves at all.

Nah, I just like the black. It's the same as the WS, only is matte black that isn't spray bombed like I might do to my current Vibrant for free.

Snapped a few cell pics when I got to work, and before I covered it.

*EDIT*

Just realized there was dew fog on the roof (paint is NOT faded LOL) and I'd popped the hatch glass to get the car cover out, so I just noticed those things when reviewing the pics.

:D

What's your set-up?

I'm in somewhat of a unique situation as my set-up has been tuned at 3'' with the largest/longest Magnaflow resonator that'll fit, and the 3'' inlet/outlet Vibrant muffler. I don't think anything "ITR" will work for me. In a perfect world I'd run a much quieter set-up, but my hatch could also be WAY louder with no resonator, and a fart-pipier muffler than what I've already got.

A user in the FI section did a build using a full 3", with (I think) an Ultra-Quiet AND bottle resonator in place. The sound was nice and refined, not overly loud at all. Sounded like something that would have come from the factory.

I'd either try using an ultra quiet + 12" bottle, or maybe even just two ultra quiets (assuming you have room in your exhaust to mount both, I suppose B engine layouts have longer exhaust pipes to work with).

Edit: BackroadCR-V's Boosted Integra, with dual Vibrant resonators + muffler:

Chance,

Turbos are inherently quieter on the exhaust side that the superchargers. I'm thinking if I was turbocharged on 13psi making this sort of power, then my exhaust note would be much more subdued than it currently is. I'd be most interested to see a quiet supercharged K set-up on over 10psi.

my setup was just simple pure fun.

high compression b20 w/ b16 transmission. Both in a dc2 RS and em1. Both had itr suspensions. Getting the jump on v8's from a red light was fun. times change. Moved on to better mpg setup now because everything is so far away in tx.
