Okay I have no pics of myu car because my cousins wife went away and took it.

I will post pics later.

Okay the bad 1st:

I goes under the axle so it can sit on a angle (Similar to the Apex'i N1). I hate this. I hated the HKS Hiper because it ran under the axle and I hated the Apex'i N1 because the angle had the piping almost hitting the ground. Haven't scraped it yet. Clearancne is okay.


N1 canister. Nowhere near as big as the Apex'i N1 cantalope shooter or the how small the Hiper/Fireball.....somewhere inbetween. I'd have to take pics for you to see (they are coming). It looks perfect for the civic.

The gasket I had to get for my test pipe (My cat wouldn't fit so I'm running a test pipe temp) is a little on the small sive (Better then running open header).

Even with all these problems I can say power is good........Best thing.......THIS EXHAUST IS QUIET. I can't believe how quiet it is.

On the HID kit:


Great quality parts, A small bit of confusion on installation but it was because I didn't read all the instructions.

I still need to adjust the lights (One is higher and one is a little lower). The light colour is bright white with a very slight tinge of purple........IT looks awesome.

Now yes the actual light output isn't as good as projectors, but you know what....its still 100 times better then the halogens (now nick named by me as candles lol).

I'll have pics as soon as possible.

More reviews of my wilwoods, aadvan's and JDM ITR rear sway bar when I get a chance to put it all on.

 

That's the HID kit you bought from autolamps right? Can't wait till you post pics, post pics of the whipple also.

 

Yup from Auto Lamps and it was worth every cent. I'm actually trying to locate someone with a digi camera too.

I'll probably buy one next month so i can just take pics whenever I want.

The OEM civic fogs and the HID's on I can see the entire road.

 

Does that exhaust piping have the same S-bend like stock before it gets to the axle, or does it just come straight back w/ a single bend under the axle over to where it exits? The latter will have the best flow, and is why the whole angled exit mufflers came about in the first place.

 

The latter.

 

so the exhaust is really quiet.. whats the pipe diamiter??. im wondering cause i want a good mellow quiett exhaust but still have good flow.
most exhaust you buy now are loud and sound like **** and ugly...

 

2.5 inch

Looks really close to a Apex'i N1. We thought it was going to be loud. Never came with a silencer.

The muffler itself is about 3 quarters of the size that the Apex'i N1 is and the tip is maybe 4 inches wide tops. The muffler just looks right on the car.

 

where did you buy the trust Exhuast from and how much?

 

I'm trying to set up something with the company that imported it for me.......I don't really want to divulge where I got it.....yet.

It was about $625 after shipping.

Really the exhaust was about $490. Shipping was the killer (it sould've been worse).

 

control arms not axles...

 

that's what I meant.

on me. Thanks navin

 

when I said axles I meant subframe.

 

I've been up 36 hours straight.......give me a little bit of a break

 

anyone ever seen the jun ss style muffler. the actual canister part is really small. and it looks like it has a 2.5 inch inlet and outlet

 

Pics of my car.
Still waiting on a shitload of stuff to get here.

Yeah I know it looks like every other snatchback out there but it gives a decent shot of the exhaust.







Pics of the HID's will follow. If anyone is local and wants to see them in person just IM me and let me know.


**edit quick use of the paint program that comes on PC's, lol**

Apex, Nice exhaust and can't wait to see the HID.

But Please cover your license plate

 

Looking good Hurell This is Vince by the way...

 

Thanks Vince. I forgot to cover the license plate but honestly. I think everyone in the state knows my car.

well get a gun and make sure everyone knows that too when they think about stealing it

 

ko0l..it looks just like my n-1, but it doesn't hang as low from the looks of it.

 

Yeah I don't like the fact that the piping is kinda similar but I haven't scrapped this exhaust once and since i had a Apex'i and I scrapped all the way home I know the clearance on this car is way better.

You know what honestly. I know if my car is stolen I'll be pissed but I insured it for extra so I will take my insurance check and go buy something that has a turbo already on it....
