What exhaust are you looking at?

What exhaust are you looking at?

51% of me wants an apexi' WS2 again because loud exhausts get annoying
49% of me says a 3" system to bring out more of the motor.

I'm not sure if I want to sacrifice the near stock sound just for some extra power.

picture looks nice man

Child about that "Bike Life" lol

Do you ever plan to boost? If not, stick with the WS2.

 

[TokyoSkies]

I always stuck with 2.75" for NA. Anything doesn't make sense to me, as NA engines like backpressure.

 

[crash!]

Looks good, makes me miss taking pictures

It's not a "K" but; apexi world sport 2 exhaust on 2000 civic coupe.

the 3" system, what would that one be? Go with the WS2 for now
Must you need that Extra power?

yes sir, i put miles on it....then it sits in the corner until the tires lose air haha.

I actually do plan on it, but the NA 3" noise is a bit too much for me.

This is K series. You'll find that they make quite a bit more power stepping up to a 3" inch exhaust.

pick up that damn camera! sheesh!

I've had like 3 ws2 systems...

the 3" would be a Thermal Research exhaust. I don't really need the power, but man the difference is soo big these motors. That's really why i consider it. Missed out on a cruise with a TSX'd integra around me. I wanted to see what the 3" would be like just cruising. I'll probably take the more subtle route though.

Can't hurt going 3inch to a mellow muffler..

YES it can...
3" exhaust to the 3" ws2 muffler. obnoxious.
example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkfMT4AD71M

K series with full ws2 exhaust. Skip to 2:10...cold was recorded on a cold start.

big difference.

thats second vid sounds pretty nice

 

[tnk]

as much as i like a quiet exhaust, i think a 3 inch setup would b best. i just hope its not crazy loud and bearable. i hope to be in your shoes with that decision in a year.

gotta say: quite possibly one of the best build threads to have ever hit cc

thanks man



Got off my ass and did a little bit of the very minor things that just make happier about the car. Just cleaned, coated, and painted some of the rear underbody. Adjusted the rear bumper better. Touched up some of the hammer rolled areas in the rear and threw on my SiR lip and drove around a bit. Nothing fancy.

You've probably noticed before, but i handled those ugly chips in the wheel well.


You can see the big gap in the rear bumper, the paint chips, and ashy wheel well. gross.






I got the little plastic tabs to sit pretty flush. Ended up breaking off that piece of it that sitting just below being flush. oh well.


after a decent cleaning


and just like i did with the hatch, it's nice and presentable


besides the dings that were already in my car, the rear arches don't look nearly as rough. It's actually a smooth curve but the dings make it look like crap from some angles


the rear all cleaned and painted up






chassis bits coated and painted over


much better fitment.


and just before i went to drive around. Wanted to let that paint smell escape a bit


boring, i know

pick up that damn camera! sheesh!
