Ok I did it, dont send your goons my way. (EDIT: This is a joke, stop asking him about this thread, he jus wanted a catless system and i ended up making one so no need to ask him about a threat because i never happened)


Full 3" turbo back with no cat. Video later on tonight. Just let me know what camp you want to go with, 2.5 or 3" catback.

Yeah i would tell you that I use magnaflow products. If you look at the pix of the first setups it says it big right on the can. I like magna becfause they use dense packing in the muffler so they dont blow out exept if you have an rx7 whcih like to burn out all kind of mufflers. boo!

Sorry got owned, left my cam at home. :( Here are my celphone pix.

Could not do video but the dude will do it hopefully today. He had a 3" CB already , just did a offroad DP for him today.


I went with 4" tips, i think it fills the hole better. Im workign on some other funky design tips too.

just to clarify, is this exhaust 3" piping all the way just AFTER the downpipe? when compared to the stock system your system has removed an in line resonator AND a cat right?

The system you quoted can be welded into the stock setup and it will keep the cat but toss the resonator. The DP i offer replaces both cats and swaps it out with 1 cat.

so THIS + THAT = full 3" turbo back exhaust with cat, but no resonator?

hehehe. that college education is going to good use! GO BRUINS!

how much is this whole system going to cost?

and i think the focus of this thread originally was that we wanted to get a vid of the full system right? ive read a lot of the reviews of the 3" catback system being too loud...

im not 19 anymore, looking for the loudest possible exhaust for my civic

Im working on various setups, at teh cheapest you will be about $725-$750 for a full setup in 2.5" Cat, reso etc will add to the price. Ill have different tips to choose most likely etc.

any reason you don't put a v-clamp split right after the downpipe curves like the stock one? Your kit will require a really large box to ship and it couldn't be installed by the DIY-er that only has a jack and jack stands.

Just my thoughts, not criticism... I think your design looks like it will flow better than any other kit I've seen.

I have boxes that fit the setup. Its only about 3.5' long. The midpipe is about 4' long. I am looking for function and performance yet to keep it affordable. Im using full flanges that seal and work well and i designed it so you have room for adjustment (bolts smaller than bolt holes to give you plenty of adjustment).

I'm from Little Rock so right now no exhaust tests. Just wondering, will a single cat pass smog tests? I know, 'live for today'. Still I wonder about these things....
