Default Who's Interested in a 2-1/2" Cat Back Exhaust System?

I'm trying to determine the interest in a bolt on 2-1/2" cat back system for the 88-91 Civic/CRX. This system would be built for a B series swap and with the use of a JDM style header. It will be a bolt on system with no welding required.

I also want to hear about any specific design issues that a system like this should be designed for. Thanks.

Plenty of clearance for large, aftermarket swaybars would be very important with a 2.5" tubing diameter.

Keep in mind that the CRX and the Civic HB have different lenght 'B-pipes'. And of course the foor door sedan has other differences. Personally, I would love to see a dual tip exhaust kinda like OEM.

I'd be interested. I like my Greddy SP but the 2 1/4 diameter is a bit restricting. Depends on the price too...

I would be interested seeing how many of DC2R pilots like your products.

Id like to see HKS dual tip OEM look or the way the Trust ones look because as much as I like how the N-1 looks I'm just tired of getting unwatned attention from La Policia.

If you manage to keep it the price down to less than 500 bucks with a CARB sticker I'm sold.

Does anyone know if HKS exhausts have the CARB sticker like the way Greddy and DC Sports does?

My greddy SP hits my ST rear sway bar on hard left hand turns and i believe the SP is somewhere around 2 1/4"?

I don't think you get CHEAP!! from SMSP, home of the $900+ header.
Reason #1 why I don't think their product would go very well with EF owners.
