just installed my rsr cat back on my civic cx hatch today. It sounds great! I had to use a stock DX header, becuase of the wierd setup on the CX. I also used an Accord cat, becuase i got it for free! (thanks jeff!! ). oh jeff.. notice how clean and new the stock dx header looks, remember when u gave it to me.. it was covered in rust! who said a wire brush doesnt work wonders!

Opps

 

nice mang. you get it new?

 

yea i got it new for $400

 

nice... so when is the swap gonna happen?

 

haha.. not for a while. Gotta gix the damge first.. then get some suspension and wheels. ill swap maybe this summer.. B18C5.. here i come!

 

sweet.. glad you decided to keep your hatch!

Mine was totaled last saturday, hit and run.. I was on a 4 lane road, in the right lane, and some jackass in the left lane decides to make a right hand turn and plow into the left front corner of my car... He then takes off running, and i go chasing after him with my fender and bumper rubbing and dragging off my car, and then give up IMMEDIATELY after i get his liscense plate #. I gave up because we were doing 70 through a residential neighborhood, and it was at noon on a saturday.. I diddnt want to endanger anyone else. I get back to the scene of the accident, right infront of wheel warehouse where some people i know saw the whole thing, called the cops, gave them the plate, and guess what? The plate goes to a car that was reported stolin a year ago and doesnt match the description of the ford ranger that hit me.
Anyway- My insurance company totaled it, and im buying it back. Im gonna fix the car myself with used parts. fixing it- including the frame pull, will be about 600 bucks. The rest is going into a b16 swap

anyway-glad to see your hatch is coming along!

ooh pretty. i'm jealous. i get to hear and look at this thing...

sorry bout your car man.. good luck fixing it!

 

hey vpc.. did u paint ur muffler black.. or did it come like that?

 

That's a great looking exhaust. Looks stock. Where'd u get it from?

 

came like that. old old old skool rsr came w/ black piping and a black canister. my friend, who i bought it off of, had it redone in black because the original paint was beginning to flake off or something. i like it. nice and stealthy. quiet as a library.

 

Man,

verrry nice, I'm impressed that you cleaned that header up that much. wow. Very cool mang.


Jeff

 

Wow, I thought you couldn't get RS*R in the states anymore. I wanted a RS*R for the Si, but thought I couldn't get it. So I decided on the DC TCS. If I can get a RS*R, I will. Where do you get them?

 

Danm Graham, that's the cleanest CX engine bay I've ever seen!!

 

I like the rs-r a lot looks sweet, Downeybear did you make a custom box around your intake? Also your bypass valve looks like it's right before the intake manifold. i thought that you'd have to cut the intake and mount it lower in the intake (since it's one piece) for it to work, well. either case looks good, nice job cleaning the header.

 

Are those exhausts full Stainless Steel?

RK, Buzzbomb..
i bought the exhaust of a guy on the board called Alan,
sales@alternativemotoring.com
and yea its full stainless steel.

Grimm,
i made the box around my intake to cut down on the heat going to the filter, its real ghetto, but it works great. Oh thats not a bypass valve.

where did you get it from??? Does the RSR exhaust flow well?? I was gunna build my own 2.25" exhaust, but that muffler is pretty low key already. Just what I wanted!

 

damn those RSR's look nice *drooling*

 

niiiice really good looking exaust.. how does it sound?

 

i got it from Alan at Alternative Motoring
sales@alternativemotoring.com

 

RS*R was bought out buy Skunk2. So if you want a RS*R exhaust it will be badged Skunk2 now.

 

Actualy the 'RS*R by skunk' is a totally different exhast, a loud POS one too . . .

 

But you can't buy a straight RS*R ehaust anymore can you?
It has to be RS*R by Skunk2 or Skunk2 right?
Maybe I was just given some erroneous info.
