Unless i'm the only one, before i modded my car i ALWAYS wondered what it would sound like with an Injen CAI and DCRH with stock exhaust. Well, thats what i have and i made a short little video. Sorry its kinda shitty i had to set the camera on a damn ballard cuz today i was flyin solo. This is my first time hearing it outside the car. Sounds pretty mean and the vtec cross over is really noticeable when i come back the other way. 1st to 2nd wheel spin FTL!!

damn..sounds good bro! Are you just going to keep the stock exhaust, or you ganna upgrade sooner or later?

 

Im gonna get a t1r b-pipe within the next month or 2 and see how that works out. Other than that i have no plans to upgrade the oem axleback. thanks!

Sounds good man, I'm planning on doing the same sort of setup myself on the EP. Hopefully I will be able to REALLY hear the crossover once I open her up! (k24a2 ftw!)

 

I've always wondered the same thing, thanks for the post

 

im gonna try and get a better video soon. This heat seems like it kills my car everytime i go somewhere. I also had the a/c on when i made the video so it took a little bit of performance away. OK i lied it took a LOT of bit away. Im gonna go try and make a better video right now. Thanks for the comments guys. Im starting to get used to the extra power and my car is starting to feel slow lol. sucks....

 

With the stock axleback on there, it's not deafening loud is it? I've got the stock k20a3 header + cat + comptech catback... But I'm going to be switching to the DCRH + 2.5" Custom piping w/ a stock axleback. Hoping against all hope that I can keep it relatively quiet.

Fairfax police will nail you for noise in a heartbeat

 

its not loud at all especially when you're just cruising. In my opinion it sounds just right. The only reason im not upgrading from stock exhaust is because from research ive found that the 05-06 type-s exhaust flows pretty good. Im not sure about an ep3 axleback. Unless you plan on getting dcrh, 2.5" piping and have an 05-06 oem axleback modified to fit on your car. If thats the case it should sound pretty close to what mine sounds like.

 

ive been running this set up on my 05-s for about 4 months now.. its good but it pulled harder with a aftermarket exhaust

I was planning on using the ep3 axleback, but I could try to get ahold of a type-s axleback if it's that much better.

 

did u get ESMM? it'll help with wheel hop and its recommended with the dcrh to prevent it from cracking under heavy shifting.

 

ive got esmm and the ingalls td.. i dont have wheel hop but it spins through vtec in first gear at wot and into 2nd and usually a little bit into 3rd as well. I need to upgrade from these POS tires.

 

heres another quick video i just made....in this one you can see how bad the wheel spin actually is, but on take off you can hear the exhaust a little bit better. Sounds a little raspy during take off. Also i noticed when i put the rh on my injectors seem to make a **** LOAD more noise. Its got me paranoid listening to that loud *** ticking sound everytime i start the car.

Good god you need some new tires bro! Sexy *** car regardless.

 

yeah these stock michelins aint worth a ****. i have traction problems like crazy and my car isnt even modded that much. i think i got a 0-80 in car vid somewhere ill try to find it so you can see how loud it is inside.

 

0-80 in car

damn i feel like a video *****, sorry to everybody who had to watch all this **** and my car is practically stock lol. People probably expecting something spectacular.

 

Nah man, your videos are good quality. I've seen a lot worse on the net.

0-60 in like 7secs, not bad on your gripless stock tires

 

These vids are great so many people wanted to know what it sounds like and you just answered them. Thanks a lot

 

no problem...i know i ALWAYS wondered and couldnt find anything ANYwhere.. its really easy for me to make videos so if anything wants anything specific let me know.

 

Man after that vid it makes me want a sock exhaust more now. Anyone wanna buy an HKS Hi-Power

 

lol...people tell me it pulls harder with aftermarket. someday ill break down and get an aftermarket exhaust but i really dont want anything thats louder that what i currently have. a lot of people have been running the reflash with rh and cai with stock exhaust and ive seen numerous dyno charts where it leans out just before vtec and then after that its all good through the rest of the powerband. Considering our cars come pig rich from the factory it might not be too bad to lean it out a little. As long as its not dangerously lean but so far nobody has been able to prove that theory. 5-600 bucks for the reflash is worth an extra 10-15whp. Only thing is i need my car everyday so i cant afford the 3 or 4 day downtime to send it to hondata.

 

Yea you 05+ people have it bad with the Hondata situation. I wonder how it would sound with the reflash, because I have #4 reflash as well as a CAI and RH.

 

That sucks that you can't afford the downtime. I'm not sure how good the reflash is, but I've got Kpro and can tell you that this thing is simply amazing!

 

k-pro for me will be a grip. Like 2k when its all said and done. I think im gonna give the reflash a shot and as soon as i install it get some dyno time and see what the a/f's look like. I definately wouldnt mind the extra 15-20 whp in the midrange. Ill for sure need new tires then.

 

220whp/160wtq....**** ill take that anyday with rh/cai/reflash. Not too lean either. Just in the few minutes i researched ive found atleats a half dozen ppl with 05+ running rh with reflash with no problems. My mind is set now im getting the reflash!!
