i recently purchased a 99 civic si, 2dr and it came with neuspeed ceramic headers, an injen cold air intake, and a view other performance and visual goodies. it has now come time for me to finish (or at least 'start' finishing) where my friend left off. I am considering buying the exhaust posted here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...63408
I am new to the civic world and am slowly learning about my car. What i would like to know is if this eshaust is for me. i would like a nice car, but i want it faster than nicer. is this exhaust performance ready or just for show and noise? i have posted in other forums and they sent me here. don't let me down

my car also has suspension done, has 56k miles, and being my first stick shift car its a welcome change from my 63 1/2 merc comet

thanks

 

its a relatively nice exhaust, and itll add a little bit of hp

 

That exhaust looks like it has been modified. If you buy it yu may have to get some work done to it to make it fit.

 

well id suggest u do a little searchski, because we have some forums that are right up your alley. Also chief, you have a header not headers.

 

Go to the sponsor section here on ht. Sponsor section rocks.

Get the rsr ex-mag. Forgot who but it's under $500 shipped there.

i think that system with the si the muffler sticks out under the ground clearance alot ....... my personal opinion i would not get it for its looks installed on the car

 

I came across an old friend who owns a shop now. im ripping out my cats and putting in a straight pipe

enugh flaming lets not get the thread locked ok?
Welcome to ht man and good luck with your car. dont forget to use the search feature often and try not to get involved in flame wars with cranky people.
BauleyCivic posted a thread that should help you out alot.

 

thanks. although i did meet a friend with a shop and i have decided to go custom install. now im looking for advice on what to look for. i mean my mech knows what he is doing but is there something i should ask for, certain sizes of anything..things to avoid, and any perks i might overlook in a custom exhaust installation. thanks to everybody with something useful to say.

ps: if you dont like the sound of a straightpipe. ride a bike

the b-pipe looks funny. and the axle back welds look redone.

 

An exhaust can only do so much
Yeah it will give you a lil bit more power but nothing too noticable
If you want to get some more power and stay NA id suggst getting some cams
Depending on your budget you could get something as cheap as some ITR cams or if you have a big budget you can redo the whole valve train and get some Jun 3 cams and new springs and retainers

 

well there is nothing i want more than to turbocharg my civic. problem is right now, i know too little about my car. new job makes it easy to work on car, but harder to find time to learn how. i think i have stumbled on something good here, tho. looking forward to meeting more of the techies.


on a less appealing note:
