how the sound? deep as you expected it to be?

sounds really good..it is deep at lower rpms and then really screams up top, which is exactly what i wanted.

oh forgot to answer ur last question..

civic 95ex coupe with USDM GSR swapped in....running rich...luv it...pulled on prelude 2000....fun ride...

 

sounds like a good setup...GET RID OF THAT CAT!! catalytic converters sucks so much. i didnt realize how much power they hold back until i dynoed my car with a cat and then without a cat.

is your gsr turbo'ed?

will be turbo for sure but not yet...end of this Fall im kindda too busy with schooll.......

 

yeah...no cat makes your exhuast a little louder, but not like crazy loud.

if you ran no cat with no resinator, it would be hella loud.

ill tell you that i gained about 8whp with no cat. if your gsr is turbo'ed, it will give you even higher gains.
