I ordered the 2.25 Integra kit with a pre installed magnaflow resonator and i would say the kit had a prefect fit and the tubing was top notch along with the hangers and welds. I used this kit with a OEM DC5 Type R muffler. Go for it dood.
I never heard of that site, I used VRS and its cheaper with all hardware,flanges and hangers.
Bends were nice and smooth, fit perfectly and i wouldnt recommend if it was a shitty kit.
heres a link just for comparison.

del sol piping is not same length as civic.
del sol was only carrying civic name for a year or two and then dropped.

bottom line is no matter what your welder will have to weld it up. so if you want to spend more for the same thing, then do it. either way you go, it will fit.

I too am using a VRS piping kit, but its on my GSR. Fits nice, included all the parts for installation. Nothing special or flashy, just cheap piping with nice fitment.
I have a 94 accord 2.2 non vetch 4 2 1 headers cai. It's connect to stock piping and muffler. Any suggestions on where to go next. This is my first build. I was a vw but trying something new
lol yea its pretty horrendous. reminds me of the early days of the internet, where all it took to excite someone was a bunch of colors and crazy looking fonts. that red is killer on my eyes for some reason.
thats odd. i looked on my phone the first time and it was some crazy cursive font. on my computer its a lot less crazy and a lot more legible
I use them to build a custom 3'' exhaust on a turbo integra, the piping is nice, but the hangers rust.

So when it says 2.5 inch pipe diameter does that usually mean inside pupe or outside pipe diameter?
Because i got vibrant muffler and resonator also with 2.5 inch diameter and they slide right over the pipes from above store.
Im thinking they are trying to scam people and ship smaler pipe diameter to save a dime.

if your 2.5" is crush bent, then you now have a 2" exhaust.
