i dont know what to do , just get the spoon axle back and do 2 1/2 piping or just get the full buddyclub stainless with high flow resonator help me out fellas

 

buddyclub, the spoon looks to small on the rsx. the tip its just too small, it looks funny in my own opinon.

 

yea the spoon is small ( same size as stock ) and i think the buddyclub would make more power and sound better

 

On a near stock ep3/rsx, an exhaust is not going to give you a lot of power, period.

The rest is just a bling factor of how large you want the grapefruit shooter tip and how loud you want the car to be.

 

^thats not true. not tons of power, but k series really open up with basic bolt ons. if your really spoony you'll get the spoon looks small, but function over fashion right? the spoon is a really well crafted piece. what buddy club are you thinking about? the spec 3 that actually has a muffler?
i would personally go with a t1r b pipe for its 2.5" goodness and a spoon n1 axle back from r&d, 350 shipped right now!

 

My post is true. An exhaust won't give you anymore than 1-2 HP on a mild bolt-on EP3/RSX. Sure, you go wild and an open exhaust will make a difference, but the oem exhaust is pretty free flowing.

Dyno sheets have been posted.

 

buddyclub is loud...i guess so is spoon. but i think you have more of a chance of getting rolled by a cop with the buddyclub due to how big it is.

i would think the buddyclub spec 3 would out perform the t1-r/spoon n1 combo.
but i dont know for sure.

 

yeah i searched alittle with no real results other than around 123 whp stock and saw one with a dc5r header, intake and exhaust putting down close to 150! I realize now we are speaking of k20a3's, right? even on those bolt ons for sure put down more power than that, have you seen a ep's stock midpipe? its 1.25"! anything around 2+" will gain good power on something that bottlenecked.

 

Buddy club all the way. Catback>axleback

 

Bedies the B-pipe sucking in the EP3, the muffler section is very free flowing.

 

Buddy club SpecIII is LOUD!!!!even louder with race header!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had to switch my BC specIII to T1R SPL

 

Just get the whole T1R set-up. It looks better than Spoon.

ok ill give you that

 

I've used both the Spoon with a 60mm Tanabe mid pipe and a Buddy Club Pro Spec. Both are loud but the BC has a "smoother" sound. Both gave me better throttle response from 4000 RPM+ but I only dyno'd the BC (127 HP/117 TQ). I like the sleeper look of the Spoon, got stopped and ticketed with the BC.

 

just get the Spoon... pimp **** minus the bling of a big *** tip

 

i do like the spoon for the size factor....sounds great as well

 

anyone here ever run or see anyone running the J's racing header back system ...i was looking on aj-racing.com and i was looking at it ...pretty expensive just wanted to see how it stacked up against the rest ...
