would a mid pipe with stock ep3 muffler be any louder than stock midpipe? i like the look of the stock muffler and plus a midpipe is like 180 bucks and from what ive heard the ep3 stock muffler is pretty free flowing

 

correct the ep3 muffler is pretty free flowing!

As for a midpipe it will give a little bit of a deeper sound but you really need to get a race header cause you will be bottle-necking the exhaust line... which will cause no gain of power/ a loss of power!

 

a raceheader will bolt up correctly to the midpipe and fit perfect? how much gains you think? as for clearing codes i was gonna get a defouler on the second o2 sensor

 

Yes it will fit just fine. With my mid-pipe, DCRH, and SRI I gained 22whp over stock peak hp and about 6wtq, I went from 140whp bone stock to 162.6whp. That's without K-pro too! As for the defouler, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. The best thing I can recommend after (or before) your purchase would be to get K-Pro and get it all tuned together.

 

Any experiance with the megan twin tip muffler? My stock ep3 muffler was replaced with something else when I purchased it.

Picking up a stock 05-06 dc5 exhaust would be nice if I could find one.

 

Wow I really need to get the dc race header! 22whp is impressive. How's that hog sound?yea I'll be gettng k pro also.

 

keep in mind this is different for every car....your gains maybe different than josh's

 

I was surprised as well, very pleased! Both tests; stock and after install, were performed on the same dyno as well. I made 2 pulls, first one made 161.3 whp in 3rd gear, second pull made 162.6 in 4th gear. It sounds good but a little raspy. I get a lot of comments about it, good and bad. Not everyone likes it, but what ever, it's not for them

Very true.

 

Be happy with any amount of gain I'm more concerned with how it would sound

 

well **** i know what i am buying next

 

josh you should have a sound clip kobe when we cruising? i work at hag honda now with brad m. im still waiting on my dang springs... finally my car wont be stock

 

I can make one today but it most likely won't be that good because I have a massive exhaust leak lol. Damn you DCRH

 

DUDE that would be bada**! Oh well I could at least get an idea

 

sweett ur the black ep right?? haha i work at Shockley honda. like 20 mins from there. yea i know brad works there. i im a tech at Shockley. well in training. whats ur name again dude. pm ur number and we cruse tonight? collins bro has one too its tuned AND IT MOVES! beat me by 4 car lengths.

 

The quality of Megan Racing exhaust components is pretty good for the price in the experience I have had. I have their header on my EP3 and has been excellent so far. I have a friend with a Megan Racing 4 inch muffler on a customer exhaust. It is on a Mazda MX3 with a 2.5 V6 and custom piping. It sounds and looks great.
