Alright, I took my Civic to the exhaust shop the other day. I had a non resonated 2.25 going into a cheap off-brand canister. I decided to go with more of a sleeper look/sound. I upgraded piping to a resonated mendrel 2.5" going back into a 2.5" Cherry Bomb Turbo II muffler. The car sounds excellent, looks stock, quiet in low RPMs but it has a deep/mellow tone in high RPM. I'm going to the dyno soon to see how much of a gain the new system has given me. Sometimes good things DO come with small price tags

 

Nice... How much was jsut the cherry bomb. also, what percent tint is that cause im about to get my car tinted and i wanted it pretty dark. Anymore pics?

$17.99 at Autozone, very satisfied with it. I believe my tint is 20-25 percent.

 

that looks like 5% tint. 20% you can usually see through somewhat from the outside..

 

nice

 

sleeper

 

very nice sleeper. looks like my exhaust but im runing 3 inch piping for turbo. i rather have s stock looking exhaust than to get hassled by the cops. very nice

 

Nice lookin hatch man!

 

Yo ive got mad respect for all sleepers, looks great .

 

what was the final cost of that setup?

 

i am loving the sleeper look, i have the same muffler and i love it BUT...my tip is stock but is not connected to the rest of the exhaust system, lol, looks poor but the other person doesnt need to know what ihave in the car , wicked car btw

 

Its hard to see from the pics, but I think I have the same setup.. I used a 2.5" Dynomax Super Turbo and had the exaust shop replicate the stock exhaust, but with big piping.

I like it.

 

Here is a pic of mine, it is an es tunning oval with 2.5" piping for the LS/V.

any of you guys have any probs with bottoming out? i have a pretty heafty drop and with my old exhaust i scraped all the time until one day it ripped off , thats when i knew it was time for new, lol

 

i basically run the same setup. got a magnaflow that resembles the stock crx exhaust and got 2.25 piping to a highflow cat and resonator. the thing thats sucks though is my resonator scrapes cause its too low.

This is why I used the Cherry bomb Turbo II, its a very small compact muffler with a nice free flowing design.

thanks..
its a fat 3incha magnaflow but i painted it black. too much bling bling for me. i think including the downpipe and 50 for the muffler, i paid about 120 for everything.

 

any of you guys have sound clips of these? I can tell they're sleeper-looking, but I'd like to know how sleeper-sounding they really are.

 

i would cal that a nice setup for 17.99

 

I'll record a sound clip sometime today.

 

here is a video clip on how mine sounds. http://www.we-todd-did-racing....DE%3D

Hmm.. I am going to pay $150 for piping and labor for a 3" turbo back setup.. Do you think thats bad??

 

I, personally am in LOVE with my cut out. There just isnt anything better then an open header. There just isnt. It cost me $100 bucks to have one welded up b4 the cat. Then when I want to be quiet (which is about 75% of the time) I put the cut out cover back on and live with the stock exhaust. I do notice some low end is gone with it open, but it more then makes up for it as I dig into the power band...

just my .02 cents...

150 for 3" is a good price. i got my **** done cheap cuzz i got the hook up
