Ok i decided to write up a little review on the exhaust since everytime someone see's a pic of my car they always ask questions about the exhaust

i picked the exhuast up a couple months ago from prostreet online while they were running a special for Honda-Tech. 538 shipped

The exhaust i was running at the time was a Apexi N1.

The RSR came in very clean. Piping had no flaws in it what so ever. Nice coating on it and it has some durability. I took a hammer and was hitting the piping all the way around and barely left a little scuff.

Weight. my apexi N1 weighed 53lbs. the RSR weighed 41 lbs

Install issues. the only issue that i ran into with installing the exhaust is that the gasket was not big enough for the JDM DC 4-1 that i was running. Your going to need a friend or a muffler shop to be able to do the install since the exhaust came in 2 pieces. Be sure to leave at least a 2 figer tip gap along the gas tank of the piping.

Clearance issues. Everyone expected me to have the thing destroyed within a week. Its going on 2 months that ive had the exhaust and not one dig or damage to the exhaust in any way. I go through subdivisions daily with mildly high speed bumps. i dont take granny time to go over them i go over them like normal.

This exhaust has alot more clearance than my Apexi N1. I had the N1 dented and scratched within the first 2 weeks.

Performance. Ive noticed a little gain all through the power band. This has to be the straightest Manufactured exhaust for a civic. it only has one 32 degree angle bend in it and that is all.

Overall i am very happy with this exhaust. I also like to entertain people with it sometimes with it throwing flames out

Here are some videos of the exhaust. to view video's you right click and save as.

great looking exhaust man...wouldn't last too long with the roads we have here but i'd love to have it anyway!!!!

(2k_CiViC_eX)....is that the SCC civic from a couple years ago in your avatar??..that thing is awesome!!!!

 

Is that how it mounted up out of the box or did you have them mount it at an angle?

looks Good, any idea how much it weighed? Straight pipe? And how big is the tubing 2 1/2?

 

yes that is how it is mounted out of the box. piping is 2.5 inches. ya its the straightest manufactured exhaust made for a civic

 

is it a cat back or does it replace the cat?

imo, you could get a muffler shop to fab up the same setup fora bout 1/3 the price. looks like just a straight pipe with a slight bend....

 

nice exhaust man, but i have a question do u still have ur n1 exhaust by any chance pm if ya do

 

yes it does replace the cat. so its a straight pipe right off the header.

Yes i still have the N1 exhaust for sale.

And here are some things you don't see....
This is what is used to connect the two pieces of the exhaust together instead of a flange with bolts.

Here is what is looks like next to the stock exhaust.


Yes I am sure you could have a muffler shor do something similar to this but IMO this exhaust system is definately worth the $$ at anywhere from $525 - 600 depending on where you can find it.

 

and as he said that he hit the pipe and it didnt even scuff i would much rather have one like that than one made by a shop no questions asked, ohh and i posted in your other thread

 

How loud is that beast? What kind of setup are you running?

 

i have videos of it above. just watch them. its pretty damn loud on a gutted interior. my setup is
99 B16a2 Block, 00 JDM ITR Head,ITR cams Chipped P28 Ecu (Mugen Program) Fields Vtec Controller set at 5k. Apexi SAFC for tuning.STR fuel rail with Holley Fuel Pressure regulator(48 PSI). AEM Cam Gears 3+I 2-E. Iceman Cold Air Intake. JDM DC 41 Header with a RSR GTII exhaust(basically straight pipe off the down pipe). MSD Digital 6 plus Ignition with Blaster coil. BBK 68mm Throttle body port matched.

 

what header will it fit up to directly with a B16A2 in an EG hatch?
X-eric-X

 

you gotta get one while inside the car. It sounds loud from that fly by but not much louder than any other exhaust. Does the silencer make a big difference.
Have you seen any cops yet?

I LIKE IT A LOT

that thing is pretty quick, were you really on it in that fly by. Sounds like you lost a little traction in second

I like the one with the silencer you getting in and out of the car. lol

 

ok inside the car video added

 

good ish!!!!

would you say it's to loud? (daily driver)

 

fauck no. cops dont give me any problems. a few cops like my car. took a couple of them on a ride.

 

great write up w/clips

 

ok clips should be working now

 

yo how much of a drop did you do on that?????
