Default Questions about the RSR exhaust?

Hey everyone, I'm thinking about buying an RSR Ex mag exhaust. I have been searching but have had no luck finding out if they come 2.25" inch piping, 2.5" inch piping, or even 3"inch piping. I know some exhaust systems allow you to select what size pirping you want but I wasn't sure it if was the same with rsr so if anyone knows this information, please let me know thanks.

2.5" piping is what you need unless you're boosted.

Is it a sohc? If so, then just get the axle back.

Most aftermarket exhausts for hondas are 2.5"

You'll be fine ordering with RSR, I highly doubt they make anything smaller.

On the contrary, very few aftermarket exhaust systems are 2.5". Most are either 60mm (JDM manufacturers) or 2.25" (US manufactures). As XslickwhitetegX stated, the Ex-Mag is 60 mm. This sizing should be sufficient for a mild B-series, assuming that the bottle-neck at the flange that bolts to the cat is removed. However, keep in mind that the Ex-Mag is not geared towards pure performance, primarily due to its chambered muffler.

Magnaflow and ES are two popular choices. I'd reconsider your decision to keep the stock cat, as it is a significant bottle-neck in the exhaust system.

What do you mean, "anything good"? What exactly are you looking for that SMSP doesn't offer?

Both are relatively similar. They're both 60 mm exhausts with chambered mufflers, and will be rather quiet though not terribly free-flowing.

Ok seriously, I doubt you'll find the RS*R Exmag instock, the next best thing is the W2..next to that is the ITR exhaust. I bought one of the new RSR "stainless steal" version... and I waited 6 months and it was still on back order!! so... I finaly found a used one on Team Integra.. and he wanted $500 shipped for the "black version"..it only had 2500 miles on it.. So I bought it... Anyways I'm just saying the Exmag is worth the wait, but hard to find instock!

Never use your old cat when installing new exhaust! Just buy a Carsound one on Ebay...

I drive a 99 Integra Ls and my exhaust set up is this:
- Injen RD CAI
- Greddy 421 Header ( I want a RSR header)
- Carsound 2.25 High Flow Cat
- RSR Exmag!!! FTW...haha

Here's sum pics...



BTW thoose are UKDM Tails...

Anyways I'll take a sound clip if you want... includeing High RPMs rev... LMK!

thanks for the input looks good , but some places don't have them in stock and some said to wait a couple of weeks and some even said months so I ordered the ws2 today it was like $200 cheaper anyways and its not a bad exhaust. So thanks everyone for the comments
