I seriously am considering to get a new exhaust this summer. I have done little research, but i am very interested in the DC Sports and Thermal Exhaust systems......
However, i need help with choosing the right piping diameter etc....

i plan on building a NA b-series motor in the future and want to use this after i swap the engine in as well

WHICH WILL GIVE ME THE BEST PERFORMANCE! THAT IS MOST IMPORTANT
then
SOUND

check that out read all of it and make an informed decision

 

ok, and what size diameter is most widely used and effective for NA applications?

 

should i be looking at the Thermal RD turbo system or classic system?

are they mandrel bent or crush bent?

 

that has to be the best exhaust article I have read, It took alot of the guess work out of finding the right diameters.

 

i was either thinking of 2.25 or 2.5 3 might be too big for an NA application right?

 

yeah that article was great they explained everything so throughly.

 

It comes down to this: What is your budget? How much do you want to spend?

 

I strongly considered the DC Sports, HKS and Thermal. I really liked the stock look and sound of the HKS. However it is very expensive for a non stainless system. I didn't get a lot of positive remarks about the DC Sports. There seamed to be a pretty even split between those who liked and disliked it. I heard a lot of good things about the Thermal. The price was pretty decent and it is a full stainless system. As you can guess I went with the Thermal and have been very happy with it.

 

the best exhaust are those loud fart cannons that hang off of everything

 

im mainly interested in the DC, Thermal, Greddy and maybe the Tanabe...
Thermal seems to be what everyone says, but i dont know anyone locally who owns one..

and the closest distributor of Thermal is in Calgary, a 8-10 hr drive....

get a thermal

and since u didnt read the rules here... i guess this its gettign closed bc of open poll

 

personally, skunk2 hands down. The only reason is because they are RS*R exhausts just stamped and stickered Skunk2, and to me RS*R makes the cleanest sounding exhaust, with 7hp gain on the dyno.

 

anyone have pics of the skunk2? i didn't know they came out for the rex already.

 

I have a Sebring cat back racing (DOT approved) muffler.
It sounds nice, IE: not like a big continual fart or a high pitch mosquio(quite on the loud side, not recommended if you dont want a lot of attention...)
With some minor mods, we made it come out of the passenger side of the car, no crappy double bending at the end of your exhaust. I dont remember how much it was...

 

thermal

 

i cant tell you what to get but i can tell you what not to get 3a racing it is the bigest pos that was ever made it leaks it sounds like *** and anything else that could go rong and it rattles god i cant wait for my skunk2 to get here

 

I saw one on the GroupBuyCenter.com, it was the Invidia, but I don't remember who makes it now, just came out and YES they have it for the CRX...

 

If you want to see a skunk2 exhaust go to-
http://www.nopionline.com or http://www.skunk2.com

 

so what about greddy?

 

Magnaflow.

 

when it says HKS sport.. is that the HKS universal "hi-power titanium muffler"? because that what i just ordered. i was told it was just as good as the APEXi if not better, but less played out. i got it on a blow out sale so it ended up being the same price as the APEXi N1

yep, cant ever beat a custom exhaust setup

 

never heard of magna flow..... are they any good at all?

 

Im happy with my DC sports. Sounds nice, not loud. Only complaint is that it sticks out from the bumper a bit.
