Hey guys im new actually my first post and i have a 98 DC2 and i want your guys opinion on the skunk2 megapower cat back exhaust. Does anybody here have it? or anyone know someone who has it? I need a good review of it and i would like to know how loud it is. I dont mind my exhuast being semi - loud but could i carry a conversation on wth someone on the highway? i mean is it as loud as the ricey ones? or as loud as the apexi N1? or more like to evo2? thanks any help is appreciated!!

 

bump

 

My friend has this exhaust on his si and its effin loud. Stupid loud when he gets on it and annoying loud on the highway.

 

I have it on my '00 and i love it. its not the loudest but its got a great deep sound to it and you can definitly carry a conversation on the highway. id recommend it

 

i bought my car with it on, pretty loud.. I took it off the next day for an rsr set up.

 

but wont the rsr set up or a ws2 set up restrict more air and cause a drop in hp?

 

same situation as slain. getting a stock axleback very soon. Impossible to talk on the cell with that exhaust. On the flip side, it sounds great though roaring through the powerband.

 

get the stock type-r full axel back ride stock with nice noise.

 

I have the RR 3 inch on my hatchback, and I have no cat. This system is bascially straight through, and with no cat...it is ridiculously loud. The hatch is just my toy, and I need the 3 inch to make power, but if it was my DD i would definitely get something else! Good luck!

 

i got a skunk2 60mm catback and it's not that loud outside. it's deep as hell. but inside the car the deepness carries inside the cabin. my friend has an apexi n1 catback and it's a lot quieter inside...even though his is stupid loud outside. everyone loves my exhaust outside though. it's a little louder then stock but they sound great. my only complaint is there are kinda loud in the cabin. 2000 gsr.

 

as i get older i'm willing to sacrafice a little bit of hp for silence... on the dyno i only lost 2-3 hp in the top end.. and gained 3 lbs of tq at 4500 rpms

 

Not wid the RS*R, the world sport maybe, but I've tried both, and the World Sport actually killed my top end. But it is great on sound, and as an all around, and price wise exhaust system.

 

you reccomend the RS*R over the ws2 for HP?

 

What do you mean killed your top end? Do you have dyno results? As the post before you stated he lost 2-3 hp on top end...You will hardly even notice 2-3 hp on a heavy car like the integra, I promise you that. I could be mistaken...dc2nonVTEC: Are you running a turbo or anything?

 

No I didnt have a turbo @ the time, and the Rs*R had me pulling all the way through VTEC to redline, without feeling any loss "in the pants", however with the Apexi, I did feel it cut off at about LS redline (7200? or so), as did my old GReddy SP(original). Comparing the Apexi N1, I would have to say I felt the difference between the 3 of them. I didnt dyno run, as there arent any dyno shops on island, but we have all day to play around with settings and all day to play around with different exhausts.
Personally, I love the Rs*R output feel, and the sound, but for the price, I'd have to say the World Sport is in my range (currently)

 

Wrong dood, sorry, I didnt leave actual number, but I did clarify that it was seat of the pants feel. I did however test out a bunch of the popular exhausts, and also ran the car open header, and I felt big losses on bottom end with the open header setup, but past 4k rpm, and it felt like it pulled super hard to redline. also, I had the GReddy SP on my LSVTEC powered teg, and ran 15.00 on street tires, and crap gas. After I bolted up the GReddy EVO, I ran a 14.7, after I bolted up the RS*R i also ran 14.7, and after I ran open header I hit a 14.2, so I'm basing it on seat of the pants, and actual times that I did post.

 

when i had it on my civic it was kinda loud on the highway, it was a little difficult to hear people talking or listening to music unless you have your radio turned up
