the '89 crx si I just bought has a new(less than a 1000mi) DC cat-back on it. I love DC, but did a search to see how others like it and there is NOTHING on anyone having a DC cat-back on a crx. do they suck for this car or what?! It sounds pretty nice...

thanks, shea

 

ahah they better not suck! I just ordered one! lol..nah I think they are right up there with Greddy and Tanabe, power-wise. But I love their sound.......nice and low

 

DC catbacks are really nice. They sound great and look great too. You can't beat that full stainless look. However, the one thing that puzzles me is how far the tip sticks out from the stock bumper. It is way out. If you have an aftermarket bumper then it is not as pronounced. Other than that it is a great system.

 

Yeah that is the only thing I dislike, the tip sticking out. Otherwise it is sweet. I was just wondering why noone ever mentions dc when people talk about exhausts

 

It's a horrible system, it does not give you any more performance than a stock exhaust, and the worst part is that it will attract both cops and thieves... if u wanna get rid of it, I'll take care of it for ya

 

np, I'll have it shipped out this afternoon


also on the DC. they sound a lot better once broken in right? I have 2 friends with DC's on their zc hatches, the one I heard the first day it was installed and it def. sounds different now.

 

My thermal took some time to break in and now it sounds a lot different than when I first got it.

 

yea mine changed it's tone too. it's normal w/ exhausts.... where does the thermal stand compared to the dc/greddy/tanabe? powerwise

 

Powerwise, I really can't tell you. I guess it is comparable to other systems. In the quality department it is great. I give it a 10 on build quality and fit. The sound is nice, loud at wot but deep. I give the sound an 8. I am sure it helped power out a bit just by the fact that it opened up the stock exhaust.

 

hahah great now I am gonna get some retarded exhaust that sticks out mad far

 

I would have gotten a thermal personally...but it is your choice. You can always cut a section out and reweld the tip so it doesn't stick out as far. Plus the thermal is under 500 bucks.

That is cool. On the rex it doesn't stick out as much as the one I saw on a hatch. The one on the hatch was at least 2-3 inches past the bumper.

 

hey....you be 91zc on PH, i just realized that hahah.

Yeah if it sticks out all gay I'll just cut and re-weld it.......

 

Yep that is me man. The ZC is no longer.... The head gasket blew on it this weekend. I have had more problems with that thing. I guess the guy I got it from gave me a higher mileage motor than I was led to believe. I guess that b16 is coming sooner than i thought.

 

lol it took me a while to figure that out!

Well thats shitty man but at least you are going B16a soon! Maybe I'll stop by one weekend, take ya for a romp in teh rex lol B16 power baby..oh wait, my ******* is fallin apart! stupid hub bearings........

 

I am going for a "romp" in a 92 cx powered by a b18c1 this coming weekend. My friend just got done swapping that. That ahould be one hell of a ride.

 

Does anyone know if it stick out on a GSR?

 

worse comes to worst... sell it to me

 

how much would you pay for it? Like I said it is almost brand new.

 

I'll buyit for 4bills

 

Buy a thermal.... I am a little biased though. I just don't really like having the tip stick out farther than my bumper.

 

Ok, I am only about an hour and a half from you. Give me a little to think about if I wanna sell it. I'll let you know soon
