Ok. I just got a full 2.5 " exhaust system done at National muffler. I have a magnaflow muffler on it. It was $170 total for muffler, piping, and install. They only had to put about 12" of piping on because it already had new 2.5" piping from them about a week befor i baught it.

Mods so far.....

Thats a good question...I dont know...i havent run any 1/4's yet. i didnt even do a base run...oops i meant too

[Jim]

Did you feel any physical difference? Pull harder?

[PSI2HI]

I/H/E on a civic u might see a total gain of 10whp.

[harwood39]

The car pulls harder now than it did with the stock exhaust. They estimate that i gained about 10 HP from the exhaust.

[Guest]

Nick is right on the 10 whp gain. That's about correct. Probally even less on the 7th gens

Ok. the other day i baught a Type-R shift knob. I know its nothin special but its helped out in my shifting. I like the feel alot better than the stock knob.

holden your car is a piece of crap if i had third gear i would whoop your ass

[harwood39]

Timmy, you suck at driving so i wouldnt even talk. Lets go to an autocross some day and find out how shitty you are. You have to remember who broke those motor mounts too, YOU. Who wrecked 4th gear, YOU. You also have to remeber what i drove in the winther. A REAR WHEEL DRIVE Nissan 300ZX. Oh ya, One more thing. I HAD R COMPOUND TIRES ON THE Z IN THE WINTER. So if you want to do this, we will get some ppl together and set up an autocross somewhere.

[out there]

i'm going to have to agree that the basic bolt-ons that nick was referring to won't give you a lot of hp. actually, what it will do is make your power curve a bit more linear and push your peak hp a bit higher. basically, what is happening is that your gears will pull a bit harder for a longer distance, if that makes sense

[harwood39]

yep, I understand that, im saving up for a turbo kit right now.

My clutch is shot so im goin to get an Exedy Stage 1 before i do any other mods. Need the clutch first.
