Will a CTR exhaust fit on an '03? Is it possible to even find one? I have a stock exhaust on the car right now, with the stock muffler cut off and some 'EBay Bomb' muffler on it (bought the car like that...don't blame me). So my options are to put a cat-back on a stock motor, which is pretty pointless, find a stock exhaust and put that on (which might be as hard to find and ship as anything else) or try to track down something non-offensive, that will fit well. Thanks for any help.

For an EP3, the *best* exhaust IMO is a stock muffler coupled with a 2.25" mandrel bent B-pipe.

Several folks have dynos that show the oem EP3 muffler is very free flowing and does not hurt HP at all.

I concur

The stock b-pipe is terrible ... I would at least bump up to 2.5" ... nothing less than that. Saw a 10-12hp increase with just changing out b-pipe ... another 3-5 removing the cat ... stock muffler flows great!

 

I just got done reading on ephatch.com and came to nearly the same conclusions. The thing is there isn't much clear info about the RSX-S b-pipe, mating up or any of that...so Ill have to dig around a bit more. I will start looking for a stock exhausts asap though

I have a JDM DC5R b-pipe for sale if you'd be interested in having something to play around with.

I am not sure how similar or non-similar an EP3 and RSX B-pipe is, though.

I'll have to look at an RSX on the lot today to see how close it lines up to ours...the WS might be a good alternative though...

 

thats what i have on my ep, it sounds funny, i have DCRH, then from the header back i have 2.25 in piping all the way to the stock canister, it runs funny but it runs pretty good
