Really good list!!

ill change this to intake/header all in the same post here in a little bit.

great Idea, ill sticky it once it gets more complete

secret weapon ftw! too bad they stopped making the rsr.

where can i get some info on the kamikaze header? i've searched 7thgen but its like viewing hours of the same bullshit threads over and over to no avail. anyways thanks in advance

i used to have it, great piece that doesnt rust like stupid DC does, but imo the ports are way too big for an unmodded engine. i would try and find something smaller, dc is pretty much stock size, ive also heard good about megan but never seen any actual pics. larger pipes are just gonna cause power loss.

thanks for the info. i was looking into it because i have an lx and it would just be easier to get a header that is made for an lx instead of an ex. but not all is lost because i found a megan header for like 150 so i guess it will do

you know that replacing the header will also replace the cat right? and if you dont care about emissions then i would say go with kamikaze. i dont even know if other brands make an lx header, cause the ex wont fit at all.

Should set up the list as links to purchase the product

I could but there are so many places that sell some of these stuff, but i'll list some sites.

Thats true, thanks man. BTW where is it cheapest to get the Apexi WS2 catback?

you know that replacing the header will also replace the cat right? and if you dont care about emissions then i would say go with kamikaze. i dont even know if other brands make an lx header, cause the ex wont fit at all.

are you sure because i thought if i got an ex header i would just have to get a high flow cat and catback made for an ex. this isnt true?

oh yea thats true, you can use the ex header but you need everything else from an ex to match up. but yea the ex header will bolt to the lx head. i believe you also need the ex downpipe.

i thought the downpipe was the cat or is that false. everytime i tried to search the threads on 7thgen i got slightly confused. i thought i just needed the header, cat and ex cat back. i thought that an ex downpipe was just to replace the cat?? :?

you need a header, downpipe and ex catback exhaust

the lx has the cat as part of the header/downpipe. the ex has a separate header, then a downpipe, and then a cat on the bottom of the car, then the catback. check www.hondaautomotiveparts.com for the diagrams

solid. thanks for the info. so i was just missing out the downpipe. makes sense to me now thanks guys :P

Thats true, thanks man. BTW where is it cheapest to get the Apexi WS2 catback?

Robearracing.com has the for 400. http://robearracing.com/pd_apexi_world_sport_2_exhaust_civic_ex.cfm

good list

DUDE u forgot TSUDO exhuast. just cause its a inexpensive and ebay exhaust everyone thinks it rice. I have the tsudo n1 and wel it sounds like pure SEX I get alot! ALOT of compliments on how deep tone it is. Please add tsudo to the list and put for the price 115 dollars.

HP makes an exhuast as well. it's a nice 2.5, sounds good. i dig it. :)

i think i am just going to have a shop bend my own exhaust what do u guys think? Or should i get the WS2

whatabout magnaflow haha thats what im reppin, i like the way it sounds and it looks pretty dope sittin in the back of my car

hey do they have a top fuel 0-1000 exhaust for our cars? im thinking about taking my friends top fuel exhaust off his rsx.

Does the headers from the DX model fit the LX? i mean like direct bolt on with out modifications?

yeah all non vtec header's will fit

u forgot the magnaflow ex...like one of the best.

the 99-00 si exhaust from borla. the muffler part nearly bolts up and sounds hella nice

my set up is a aem air intake with megan racing header with megan racing testpipe with a greddy evo 2 catback i love the way it sounds and good performance

good performance with bolt ons = http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/7144/bsbw3.gif (http://imageshack.us)

only preformance is turbo kit..hands down.

hey the thread said what intake/header/exhaust options are there so thats what i said the full set up on my car is: aem air intake megan header megan test pipe evo2 catback crower stage 2 cam valvetrain upgrade aem cam gear walbro fuel pump torque damper revo adjustable short shifter with stage 2 clutch set up with a 75 shot plug and play wet zex kit 82021 thats my full set up and yeah pretty good performance so far

Forgot Vibrant Streetpower axel-back.

so many options!

ADD THESE TO THE LIST, crappy but available

Intake:
ICEMAN (better looking and designed better on other car except 7th gen)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Punkingcivic/Punkingcivic_Iceman.jpg

HEADER:
OBX (crappy manufature)
EX http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Punkingcivic/punkingcivic_header_obx_ex.jpg
LX http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Punkingcivic/punkingcivic_header_obx_lx.jpg

the iceman looks like a good design. straight through with no bends

the iceman looks like a good design. straight through with no bendsyou just gotta move the fuse box, and it is make from high temp plastic or something of that sort

that OBX ex header has shitty ass welds on it....looks like crap

hey the thread said what intake/header/exhaust options are there so thats what i said the full set up on my car is: aem air intake megan header megan test pipe evo2 catback crower stage 2 cam valvetrain upgrade aem cam gear walbro fuel pump torque damper revo adjustable short shifter with stage 2 clutch set up with a 75 shot plug and play wet zex kit 82021 thats my full set up and yeah pretty good performance so far

hey born, how is that set up working? I am going for about the same thing more or less just to play around with the car, minus the wet shot. Do you enjoy the set up, or do you regret not saving and spending it on a different motor or turbo?

that OBX ex header has shitty ass welds on it....looks like crap

my friend has it and he said that it was just as good as megan

Thanks for the list of suppliers, I'll probably be using that soon.

you forgot Magnaflow under the exhuasts.. n btw i think is the best w/ lifetime warranty

Kamikaze does make a 4-1 for the EX now, so you could change that if you want to be DX/LX non specific

i know there is a guy running an 06 civic si muffler on his coupe but what i want to know is does the 06 axle back also work for our cars? i know the rsx will.

yes they have a vid on youtube of a 06 si exhaust on our cars

yes they have a vid on youtube of a 06 si exhaust on our cars
i know about the vid i have watched it many times actually the video is posted in the exhaust sound thread but i thought it was just the mufler not an axle back :dunno:

oh yeah it was just the muffler. sorry. wont fit. rsx or civic si. just do custom piping.

ideal setup would be k20 lol no jk well in my opinion it would be

WEAPON R Intake I forgot the model but it didnt have a bend at the throttle body
Header (dont shoot me) HP RACING HEADER
EXHUAST MAGNAFLOW I ran this set up and wow boy do you feel a big difference and the sound was :) music to my ears

anyone have the hp racing race header?

megan drift spec exhaust is impresive. Ive had multiple comments from DSM guys thankin me for not having a ricey sport bike exhaust on my civic. In my opinion best exhaust during acceleration but kinda gets to your head on long ass turnpike rides but thats why god made silencers

yeah i was looking what intake i should get there are some good suggestions. ty

Does anyone know if the top fuel power chamber is any good? I was thinking of going with them but idk, everyone seems to have mixed reviews.

Nice list. I have a lx and am thinking of changing it over to a ex converstion. with a meagan header highflow cat and then a EVO2 cat back. I'm really surprised no one here has mentioned the Greddy EVO2 cat back. With my Injen cold air intake the sound will be perfect.

U also for got tomention OBX makes exhausts for or cars. I have a OBX typr R and that is sexy. Not rapsy at all good low tone.

im confused on some stuff, i have 01 lx...people have said the cat converter is in the header manifold....if i were to buy lets say a dc shorty n install it, it would delete my cat converter correct? if i dont find a solution besides buying ex headers and a full catback system (basically converting to ex exhaust) then ill just buy those kamikaze's or OBX lx version headers
the ex conversion = too much $$ for me lol
good post tho! very helpful

Great list at top hotfire very well done.

i like the injen i had aem nice but ijen sounds better in my opion same hp i guess no noticable difference

I had the K&N typhoon, loved the sound. Was only $155 at autozone. Always maintained it and never had any problems.

How about Intake Manifold???
No list? Or no need to be upgraded?? :)

Thanks for the good info!

the only mani you can fit is the d16y8. or you can buy a custom one but theyre not cheap.

what no ebay???

lol right :hsugh:

i have a AEM short ram, DC 4to1 headers and the stock exhaust pipe and muffler. I'm looking for an exhaust system which can help my mpg, some performance, and not loud. My car is auto so it'll sound really ridiculous if i had something loud.

much mahalo,
kailiwela44

what about AC Autotechnic, Fujita, Option, Tradesonic, Spyder, tenzo r all intakes for our cars

headers- spyder, matrix, tradesonic, option, strup, weapon r, just a few

Hey i still have all stock parts for my 05 ex what parts should i get first header or exhaust. And i have no clue about what headers are good and what arent.

Hey i still have all stock parts for my 05 ex what parts should i get first header or exhaust. And i have no clue about what headers are good and what arent.

I would say exhaust. You won't see a really gain from either, but exhaust can give a good sound and look.

I have the DC 4-1 shorty and I love it. It doesn't really make the car faster, but it changes the tone a little bit and looks good under the hood, which makes me happy. Some people that have dyno'd say it moves the torque peak a little lower (rpm wise), which is fine by me.

Personally, I like the sound over a loud exhaust, which is why I'm still running stock exhaust.

Exhaust and heads dont give much gain? i didnt know that. what are some not so expensive (under a $1000) ways to speed mine up?

i just dont want my car to sound like the local fart cannons driving around. :tdn:

yea ive been looking at the DC ones.

what are some not so expensive (under a $1000) ways to speed mine up?

Suspension. And that'll help with road racing/autocross only.

You're not going to be able to extract a lot of power from our motor without spending a lot of money. It's a single cam engine with a complicated electrical system, which are two large strikes against it. There's not a cheap way to make these cars fast, hence why they're not that commonly raced.

K pro as well. But your looking at about 850-1000 for that. Plus I tune unless you just street tune it. Oh and you need a laptop too.

i wanna lower mine about an inch but as for the rest of suspension i dont know about it. Im really new to cars and engines.

I'd say save up for coilovers or springs and struts/shocks. Something like tokie blues.

Nah, Blues are just glorified OEM replacements. I have the D-specs and love them, and I'm using Eibach's Prokit springs that lower about 1", just what you're looking for.

My car is a 05 civic lx sedan. I have a AEM short ram and DC 4to1 headers. I'm looking into upgrading exhaust system. I don't really care for HP gains and extra noise. I'm trying to find if there is a exhaust sytem that would help the MPG or if it would be best to just stick with stock. I'm debating because of the sudden decrease in pipe size when the exhaust hits the stock pipes. Thanks

i read about the aem v2 intake but what makes it so better? sound/performance?

hi guys,
so i'm looking into getting an intake, header, and exhaust combo and i have a deal sort of lined up. for $870 shipped to canada (remember that shipping to canada would cost quite a bit more) the guy is willing to give me an AEM V2, a DC Sports 4-2-1 Race Header, and an RSR EX-Mag exhaust.

The intake has "about 8K miles on it. No major tube blemishes, great condition." and he's selling for 160 shipped.

The header has "about 9K miles on. In great condition; comes with O2 defouler (so you don't throw a CEL) and an O2 extension." and he's selling for 300 shipped.

The exhaust has "about 14K miles on it, super clean and no major dents in the pipes. Comes with all the appropriate gaskets and bolts." and he's selling for 300 shipped.

I'm just wondering am I getting a good deal on these items, and if they are too overused and what not.
Also, will getting that header result in me potentially running into some problems if I was to take the car in for an emmisions test kind of thing ("AirCare" we call it here)? Would I still get adequate amount of power with just the intake and exhaust? Or would the header make a big difference?

Thanks guys :)

With that setup, you will fail an emissions test, yes, simply due to the lack of any emissions controls in the exhaust system. The O2 defouler will keep you from throwing a CEL, yes, but not make you pass emissions. It only tricks the car's computer, not an external one.

In regards to the price, I wouldn't call that a good deal, no. I would try to talk him down some more.

so is it the exhaust system that will cause me to fail the emmisions test? Because if it is just the header then perhaps i will just get the intake and the exhaust.

but i think i am quite set on getting a AEM V2, so is his price for his V2 alone fair? or can i get a better deal off ebay perhaps?

Yes, that race header eliminates the catalytic converter, thus failing emissions. I think the price on the V2 is fair for a V2, but I'm not completely sure.

If you're looking for a deal, an AEM intake is not the best way to go. Some people like me run an eBay intake (it's just a piece of aluminum tubing) with an AEM Dryflow filter element and get the same result for much less.

[QUOTE=Unevolved;435266]Yes, that race header eliminates the catalytic converter, thus failing emissions. I think the price on the V2 is fair for a V2, but I'm not completely sure.
/QUOTE]
Right, but if I only get the exhaust part instead of the exhaust AND the header will I be okay? The sale is in 3 parts: the AEM V2 intake, the DC Sports 4-2-1 Race Header, and the RS*R Ex-Mag exhaust.

I think I am pretty set on getting the V2 from him unless anyone has any opinions that I should do otherwise. As for the ebay intakes, I just don't really feel like going that way. Thanks for the info though.

No problem. eBay intakes aren't for everyone. There are haters for any route you choose in this hobby. And yes, with just the exhaust you'll be fine.

So I asked him what's the best deal he could give me on the exhaust and intake alone and he came back with $520 shipped. Thoughts?

I would say if you can't talk him down anymore then to just take it. The exhaust is about the right price, i don't know about the intake becuz i've got ebay. But if you've got the money, buy it.:tup:

would he pass with a high flow cat?

I don't like ebay either man... my brother bought an intake for his Scion TC last summer off of ebay and the paint is already coming off of it...

Does any body have any HP or numbers with these parts? Or know where I can find em'?

Maybe I am just blind but I couldn't find much as far as numbers go.

Well, I take that back ^ I've found some things.

EBAY header and exhaust ftw lol

I have a 2002 Civic coupe, but it's a LX. It has the Honda Factory Performace package on it. What all do i need to get for an aftermarket exhaust? I know there aren't any exhaust for the LX, but what parts do i need for the EX conversion?

All their saying is that the Lx headers have the Cat in them already, the Ex is a separate piece.
so all you'd have to do would be buy the Ex headers and get a Cat from a stock Ex or something, itd be about the same price, and probably make your car feel a little more quick lol

no it does not take away your gas mileage well at least not for me. But its all on your preference because you can get the cold air for hot days and then just remove the second piping on the cold days to make it a shortram. its like a 2 for 1 deal

umm i just noticed the k&n 57i intake isnt on there. i run it and highly reccomend it to anyone its huge and it sounds mean. not to mention i think it might make as good of a difference as any intake powerwise

Muffler installation is pretty simple, it'd be an easy mod to learn on if you're not familiar with working on cars.

You can buy all the needed equipment to overly qualify yourself to install a muffler for less than 80 dollars.

Jack stands, socket set, 14mm i believe, maybe 12. use your own jack if you don't have a fancy one. It's as easy as an intake, bolt on. :)

honestly you don't even need jackstands if your car isn't lowered yet, just don't be afraid of close spaces and be patient. :hsugh:

But jackstands are like 20 bucks for 2. and i'm willing to bet you have the necessary sockets around the house if you have any tools, maybe pick up a little degreaser for 6 bucks. So, 26 bucks and about and hour max with seized bolts you could have a new axle-back. :)

Hell you don't even need jackstands.. I've jacked my car up by the tow hitch thingy, and that works fine for me.

I'd say you just need a jack, some PB plaster, typical hand tools and about 2 hours of your time if your new to it.

if u drive your car in salt you might have problem. i went to install my muffler and the bolts snapped in half then i had to get an oxyacetylene torch to break the welts on the nuts. it wasnt fun

The cheapest places I'm finding the hks axle back is at dezod.com or from daddy. Anybody know anywhere cheaper? I'm lookin at like $325-335 from those.

Did the same on mine... lol:wtc:

ADD INVIDIA ONTO THE LIST!

-That's what exhaust I have :coffee:

So in order to pass emissions Dx/Lx owners will have to swap their existing headers and exhaust with an EX setup, because of the fact that only the ex model has a separate cat converter?

If not, I don't understand how Dx/Lx aftermarket headers will pass emissions.

sounds about right. pretty much u have to get a ex header, ex cat, ex midpipe, axleback... or ex header, ex cat, ex catback. yup.

Looking to get an intake with a nice smooth purr to it...or do they all sound the same?

Would a K&N intake sound the same as a ebay intake with K&N filter?
