Default a good setup for a 03 type s??

Hey, i was wondering if this would be a good setup for an 03 rsx type s

AEM CAI
Buddy club race header
greddy evo 2 exhaust
kpro and some ips k2 cams

Or should i get slightly bigger piping like a 65mm buddy club pro spec. exhaust.
Thanks for the help guys..

The bigger piping would help. Is there anything 70mm for the DC5?

I have the greddy evo II exhaust and I love it. The set-up you listed should pull around the 220whp mark.

well right now with just the intake, evo 2 and kpro I'm making around 217whp on a mustang dyno..

there are some 70mm but idk them off the top of my head.

as for the bc pro spec II it's louder than the pro spec and i dont feel like getting a super loud exhaust. lol

I love this exhaust too but the size of the piping is 2 1/4 from what i've looked up and i heard running a bigger exhaust piping would make more power with cams. i've seen ppl with 3" but that just way too loud for my taste.

Thermal Exhaust makes 3in for almost all Hondas. The DC5 exhaust part number is
B150-C150. Too bad they don't make one specifically for the EP3

That's a good basic setup but you forgot some things that you absolutely need... Innovative motor mounts or ESMM's (you need them so you won't crack your header)... If you're getting the cams, you need retainers, springs, and valves as well! But that's a good choice for intake, header, and exhaust... No need for anything larger! Def get K-pro!

Nice, I love that exhaust. Go big or go home haha, do you have any good sound clips? I always wanted to customize one to fit my EP.
