First for the poll. Cody @ lovefab is making me a shorty manifold and a downpipe for my turbo setup. The car is a 97 civic coupe ex, stock d16y8 for now. How should I have him make the downpipe, taking into consideration future building up of the engine for more boost? Please pick one, or if you have a different idea other than what I posted just respond. I currently have a 2.5" greddy sp exhaust for reference.

Next question.

Other than having my local muffler shop hook up the downpipe to whatever configuration I pick, is there going to be any other "custom" work that needs to be done for this turbo install. Or will the rest be pretty much bolt on, wiring, etc.?

My Setup:

Greddy Type S BOV
Tial 38mm Wastegate
550cc Injectors and clips
SC50 Precision Turbo
Drag Piping Kit & Spearco Intercooler
Walbro Fuel Pump
Earls Oil Return Line Fittings
Skunk2 Manifold
Goodridge SS Oil Feed Line
Drag Intake Assembly
LoveFab Manifold & Downpipe

Fuel Management is going to be done by a hondata s200b.

Thank you for your time.

 

Other: 3" downpipe ran into a 3" high flow cat. Ran into a 3" exhaust.

 

Recommendations on a nice 3" cat back exhaust, not too loud the cops in my town are dick's.

I see a lot of people with the apexi n1...

 

Apex'i N1 is extremely loud.

Contact MKTeller8 or go to his site http://www.accordinglydone.com .

I got my exhaust from him and I love it.

Left to right:



Stock, Tanabe Racing Medallion, MKTellr8's 3" Piping welded together by local shop
(Carsound Cat & Resonator were extra)



Magnaflow muffler, nice deep quiet tone. When boosting you'll hear the engine more than you hear the exhaust.

 

i say...down pipe into a 6 inch flex pipe then to a test pipe? thats what i got, its a lil too loud, maybe b/c of the test pipe, but its str8 on highway.

i can get pics, if i jack up my car. oh yeah, did i mention...i got a d16y8 boosted w/ DRAG kit. looks nice and clean! if u want pics just hit me up
