After installing my ASR Subframe Kit today I am really thinking about getting a cat back exhaust on my EK coupe next. What fits without modifications I'm looking for a complete cat back and not a universal. I'm looking for something relatively quiet i.e. Apexi WS2, RS*R EX Mag, Greddy SP2
Almost forgot to mention that I have the 22mm ITR sway bar.

 

my thermal fit
my custom piping, that was based on the thermal, after that fit too
I am not sure if the ws2 will clear...since it barely clears anything as it is

 

Yeah the clearancesare are pretty tight even with the stock exhaust.

 

this is mine

 

sort of on topic, but can I reuse my endlinks from my 00si for my new ITR rear sway?

 

yes

 

there is a thread somewhere on here with pics of everyone's *** end. i think its in appearance.

point: it shows alot of cars with asr kit, nice lca's, nice exhausts. might help.

 

Thanks! Now that you mention it I remember that thread?

Found It!!!!!

There are a lot of Comptech braces with exhaust but not too many ASR braces with exhaust, can anybody help me out? Don't want to spend money on something that will not fit.

 

its not the brace thats going to cause you any problems anyway
if anything, it will be the sway bar itself

 

my greddy sp fits, no mods. U can kinda see it in the pic, good clearance.

Thanks for the reply and post that helps out so much

Anybody out there that has a 22mm rear sway bar with either a RS*R EXMAG or Apexi WS2 please post up. Thanks

 

If anyone has this and tanabe hyper medalion on an EG I'd also appreciate input on the fitment

 

just installed my ASR kit the other day w/ 22mm bar, it clears my Apexi N1 fine, plenty of room

Thanks for the reply I'll add your setup to the list Please keep em coming guys as I need as much info on what fits and what doesn't before I make a purchase.

So far I got replies and PM's stating that Greddy SP2, HKS HiPower, Tanabe Medalion fit with the 22mm rear sway bar on a EK Coupe.

You are gonna love it! I hope you got the kit with the 22mm rear ITR sway bar, if you did you will notice a big improvement over your Si one.

Anybody else have any exhaust set-ups with a ASR brace/22mm ITR sway bar out there

 

finally got mine on tonight! will post pics tomorrow. nothing to see really. stock lcas, custom 2.5 exhaust with taiwan muffler. i have three torque wrenches and dont trust any of them. anyone recommend a trustworthy one.

Which endlinks did you end up using?
As far as torque wrenches go I really can't reccomend a particular brand but I personally love using my 3', 1"drive one that I bought from a retired city mechanic over my 3/4"drive one that I got from Kragen made by "Powerbuilt" because it's so much easier to get leverage.

 

Yeah, what endlinks is everyone using?

I got an ITR 22mm from HMO, but it didn't come with endlinks. Is there a less expensive alternative to the $100 for the OEM Si endlinks.

 

off topic here.....but does the ASR subframe reinforcement kit require the drilling of the rear subframe? tks

 

ASR recommends em1 endlinks for daily driven vehicles...the race endlinks are said to "make noise" (at least thats what they told me)
I think theyre a fine link, and really think theyre worth what honda charges.

You do not drill the subframe

 

as far as drilling. some chassis you do drill. for sure, 95 del sol vtec you drill. i am using the stock ones(endlinks). they are the same part as the itr ones with the exception of these "collars that go into yhe sway bar end bushings.<expensive little *****. did not pick up pictures. will do tomorrow. no digicam.
