I am curious as to HT members thoughts on running a CTR catback exhaust system. When I say CTR catback I am speaking about the OE japanese exhaust system that is only available on the CTR.
I am wondering what the power restraints and losses would be, also I am wondering if it would be restricting to the point that it would harm the performance of a motor.

Currently:

I am running a B16A2 with:

Skunk2 cams, intake mani, cam gears
DC USDM 4-1 header
with a 2.5 inch piping after the bottle neck and a 30" glass pack with an APEXi N1 muffler

Currently the car is making 164 on this set up, but this is my daily driver and I would almost prefer stock sounding exhaust system without killing power.

Let me know what you guys think about this move. I was also looking at the RSR ex mag catback as well.

Let me know guys! Thanks

 

wel i doubt its a restriction for you yet..your only around stock ctr power....try it

 

And that is what I am thinking. The power that I am making is without tuning the cams or adjusting the timing. I have only tweaked the fuel with a VAFC.

I would like to do this because I basically have the setup and I dont think that it will rob me of but maybe a couple horse that can be made up when I tune the motor completely.

Thanks for the response. Anyone else have any Ideas?

 

I doubt you will have any loss in power,maybe a lil on the top end.I'm like you too getting tired of hearing my exhaust.Good luck.

 

cool, thanks for the thoughts.

Anyone elsee?

 

bump!
