You could of just called this thread your build thread or something... cool anyways but I'm curious to see if you really gained much changing from the Mugen exhaust to the Skunk2.

lol.

Kinda was thinking the same, but I wasn't sure if the Mugen Si came with a special mugen exhaust or not, I always thought it was just the body kit and wheels that justified the 30,000 dollar civic.

Still a nice car OP, atleast you kept the GPs on there. Would be blasphemy to get rid of those, but if you do and want to sell them cheap.. hit me up

So your piping went from 2.5" stock to 2.75" with a fiberglass packed fart can, your point? Lol, you could've saved yourself some time and just bought a regular Civic Si and get replica mugen stuff, to match your replica everyth... nevermind.

GREAT build. :-)
