Well from the redneck dyno, seat of the pants, it feels a good bit stronger over the entire rev range but it feels like it gained most at the bottom end. It seems to pull a lot better on top as well. I would recomend this system as long as you do not mind big tips. They did hit the bumper a little and i did not notice until they got hot and melted a little of the plastic but they are not doing it any more, but it is ok you cannot even tell that they did it. I am really pleased with it and i will post pics of it as soon as i can. The best thing so far to happen with it was my tried to race me on the highway with his truck which just got a new Jasper engine and Needless to say he got his a$$ handed to him. It was freaking hilarious.

i'm glad to hear that you noticed the same thing i did.. in terms of engine/perf mods, i had a aem cai and that exhaust... cai does nothing for low-end.. but that exhaust really helped with the low end.
that's weird about the bumper... i took a look at my accord, and the bumper was unscathed.
the exhaust does get a lot of looks..so as long as you have a car that can back it up, you should all right. work on the crx now!!

Yeah i have to finish doing the top end on the crx tomorrow and have it ready for my friend's drive to school. Don't you just love being the grease monkey in your group of friends, you know the only one that really knows how to worl on stuff. I am not to sure on the diameter but i think it is like 2 1/2". Eventually that crx will be mine and i will make it fast using a carburated motor to mess with everyone who has fuel injection. hehe

yeah we have weird weather though. One day it will be cold and rainy and the nest will be 80-90 degrees and really dry. Knoxville has the craziest weather ever.

how low is your car? i had neuspeed sport lowering, and i can't remember when i ever touched the ground.
btw... going back to oem is weird... my mom was driving my accord and i didn't even here her pulling into the driveway when i was outside washing my other car. my dog did here her though because he flew outside.

I have H&R sport and there are a lot of places to scrape around here so it is not just cause of how low my car is.
