i was thinking about gettin a 2.25 in cat back to an 02 rsx type-s muffler. i can get it done for 150 bucks at this shop and already have the muffler thanks to my roommate. do you think its worth it? if you've done it, any gains?

 

have in mind under the hood is a lil guy. y8 to be exact

 

If you do a full cat-back exhaust you are going to get gains but they will be minimal on a y8. If you are doing it for sound I don't see what the point of using a rsx muffler. I suppose it should have enough flow for a y8 but i doubt it will sound much different from stock. I also can't belie you are getting a cat-back for $150 that sounds WAY too low. That would make me question the work quality of the shop that is doing it for you.

 

i bought a new 04 type s muffler to replace on my EJ6 mainly because im an OEM *****, and its awesome, little deeper tone, great at cruising, and i did gain a little mid range torque (completely stock Y7), and it looks great too, and 150 is too much i got it installed for 60

He is talking about getting a full-cat back minus his type-s muffler for $150

 

The 05-06 ones look sick. And very quiet if you don't like loud exhaust sounds.

 

sorry its been a fews but ya. im deff into the oem thing and i dont want somethin ricey sounding so i figured this was my best bet. the shop is reputable(ive had them do exhaust work on my bimmer)and for 150 not too bad. i appriciate the input i think im gonna get it done just for *****. i post some pics if yall are interested.

 

i have a DC5R axle back on my EM1.

it sounds almost exactly like a 350z/G35

 

i had a s2k muffler with a 2.5 straight pipe no cat on a z6 sounded shiiitttyy
