Im sick of people bitching about low end loses...... come on
Im not saying you are but your friend pointed it out
lets look at it this way
stock you run 0-60 in 8.8 secs "not saying you do but just a sample.."
you also run 0-30 in 5 secs ok now after putting exhuast on if you will run 0-30 in 4.2 secs and 0-60 in 8.0 secs
damn you lost low end but yet you can do a 1/4 mile faster? I guess its not smart to get one.....
bottom line hondas are made to be quiet there for the exhuast and intakes really really really blow
first thing you should do is your intake you will see a BIG gain with the intake then work on the exhuast
if you have a good exhuast its only as good as the air you can get into the engine if you still have the stock intake then its kinda pointless to do an exhuast unless your all about sound looks and no go =)
lets say you put just the exhaust on the car you would see about a 4HP gain if that do the intake first then the exhuast and I bet it would be more like a 6 hp gain
as far as what company to go with go with what ever fits the price right shop around and don't buy by name buy by how its put together my exhuast cost 280 norm 500 =) shop around like I said hehe anywho it was 280 and its 2.5" piping from the cat back I could have bought a greddy for twice as much but um nah I like saving money same for intake check out ebaymoters.com and look up intakes you can get a no name brand intake for around 60-70 bucks or shirt ram intake for 20-30 bucks
or buy a AEM intake for 200+
I say go for the 60 buck coldair intake
one last thing about the lose of torque its a honda engine who cares anyways =) unless your building a autox car go for all the top end power
in the end you will have a faster 1/4 mile plus if your racing you wont start off below 2500-3000RPMs anyway so why worry=)
