Default thermal stealth on 98 civic ex and some other maintenance fun

Had some fun today swapping exhausts with my brother. He's got a thermal stealth full cat back and I got a hks super dragger axel back so we traded cause he's n/a and i'm boostin now.

Anyways, spoolin much better now. Throttle response is great, spool time is like instantaneous and its not too loud at all actually. Now, here's the best part...I can power brake and hold 4psi at launch then jus let it go and damn its like fast as hell now. So I'd highly reccomend this exhaust for other boosted sohc's out there.

While I get the chance, jus wanted to go out and thank steve [CDome2] for doing the swap for me and my brother and for letting me ride in his monster ls turbo.

And....here's the maintenance fun:

[why you should change your fuel filter when they say!]

[mmm....good ol' shell gas dirt]


And...here's some pics of meh intercooler and how much it takes to cut the bitch...i know its OT but everyone asks how I got it to fit.

Is that the Apex silvia or GTR core? Looks badass. I still drool over the XS Eng. GTR core though.
Nice setup!!

its the apexi ic and no pics of the exhaust yet, will post some soon though.

also for an update...jus learned last night that my car boost spiked for the first time to 6psi instead of its normal 5. Its never done this with my old exhaust. Hopefully I won't see that again
