I was thinking of buying a pre-made 2.5" exhaust made at Kteller for my 93 Civic hatch or the Skunk2 Megapower R exhaust which is 2.5" but then they came out with the Megapower RR exhaust which is 3":

Do you guys think 3" is TOO big?

Here are the specs:

B18b block GE sleeved and bored to 84.5mm
Endyn crank girdle with AEBS main studs
Balanced, chamfered, polished crank
ATI crank damper
Eagle rods with ARP bolts
CP 12.5:1 84.5mm pistons
Alaniz Competition VTEC head
Skunk2 Pro Springs, Retainers & Cam Gears
Type R valves
AEBS 68mm throttle
Edelbrock Performer X intake port matched to throttle
BPI CAI stack on 3" piping
SMSP B19 Header
2.5" custom mandrel piping into Magnaflow resonator and Vibrant muffler
RC 370cc injectors
Hondata s300
Skunk2 Pro 2's
Del Sol hydro tranny with 4.78 final & ITR LSD
Competition Stage 4 Strip Series Clutch Kit
Meziere Electric Water Pump
Endyn catch can

 

2.5inch will be fine. 3inch is over kill.

 

3" isnt overkill....
yes 2.5" would be fine but with 3" he will gain some power from it. if hes doing a new exhaust system may as well spend the extra few bucks for easy cheap power.
get your 3" piping here http://www.vrsexhaust.com/TUBING_KIT.../honda_tk.html

 

My engine is 2 liters - I think maybe 2.5 inches may be a little restrictive...

 

just get the 3" and be done with it

you will not regret it. if its too loud for you put a bigger resonator on it

 

finally someone else chimes in about this.

Go 3in without a doubt with a nice 24" resonator and a straight through muffler from vibrant/maganflow/ES and you'll be good

 

that's actually incorrect.. we have worked with them before and will if needed again in the future, there isnt that many mandrel benders to go around, many shop do work together but there is actually a difference and we offer items you can not find there or any where else, since they are only available from us.

 

ya 3" will be great...check out the new 3" skunk2 exhaust..along with their jdm 3" type r test pipe..

 

3"

 

well thats great but were talking tubing kits here not other products. VRS sells the mild steel kit for 92-00 civic 2.25" for 125, you sell it for 215. Whats wrong with that picture. Your full exhaust is nothing more than a resonator and maganflow muffler welded up with hangers for 400 and you have a bolt on kit. Basically your special stuff is pre-fabbed piping kits.

 

Yes for a 2 liter i thimk 3" is the rigth one.
I have a 2.5" for my b16.

 

Thank you Slow - I almost paid double for this tubing!!!

Thanks to all that replied - I will be going 3" but can't decide between the VRS kit of the new Skunk2 MegaPower RR kit:

VRS with a magnaflow and res, trust me. much less drone and quieter. plus its cheaper

 

Ok thank you Slow!

I'll spend the money I saved to buy a traction bar - is Full-Race my best choice for a '93 Civic hatch?

 

definitely go 3 inch!

 

hey komat can i have a pic of your ws2 on your car the three inch one , when i got mine in the mail the thing was huge (the universal 3 inche muffler) i also saw that you where running it with out a resonator any comments on that, like is it to loud , dose if fit snug into the bumper?

 

70mm for your ears or 3 inch for the max loudness.

 

Definitely go with the 3 inch system. I have it on my 2.0 L GSR with 3 inch vibrant muffler. Skunk2 is nice but gonna be very loud.

 

x2.

I always buy from them now. I have had a couple of extremely irritating customer service issues with kteller the last time I ordered from them and have been very happy with VRS.

 

any input komat ??

 

I contacted VRS on their tubing kit for the Civic and found out it's universal so I'll have to have it cut to lenght at the muffler shop and also have the resonator and muffler welded for my hatch which is obviously shorter than the coupe.

I'm woindering if the extra cost of the muffler shop along with the cost of the tubing kit will put me near the cost of the Skunk2 RR which is basically bolt-on...

 

If you have a Mig and a chop saw, its really easy to put together. Also, I think the VRS kits come with slip fittings and clamps.

 

the vrs kit will only need to be cut for adding in the resonator, other than that its weld/clamp up. It has slip fit joints that can be clamped. They also have hatch specific systems so that should not be a problem

 

That's what I would think but the website only shows one model and when I contacted them, they told me I had to cut it to fit my hatch.

 

That is true and one reason why we offer a different range of different products. VRS is known for making a standard 'style' and you have to make major adjustments. They use the same pipes for all civics (coupe/sedan/hatch) 92-00, yet we know they are different length and have different bend needs for those 3 body types. They do the same for accord (94-97;98-01)/prelude (92-97;98-01), yet anyone knows there is a ton of difference in these 4 gens.

If you have any more questions or concerns, we have a ton of experience with them as well as a few other items, i would be more then happy to help you directly sales@kteller.com is my email, if you need more info on anything.
