Hi evry1.. Just joined the forum today! Can anyone give me some advice on exhausts for DC2 ITR.. I have checked out Apexi N1 so far on ebay for $400 .. after something with deep sound and obviously best performance gain.. tho not willing to fork out for a mugen or spoon.. any advice much appreciated...thanks

http://www.thermalrd.com/acura.htm thermal research and development has some really good sounding exhuast systems. real deep and throaty. check them out. i wish i woulda known about them before i got my greddy.

Thanks for the advice and the weblink.. website generally seems really helpful.. how does the Greddy exhaust sound in camparison? Also just picked up edelbrock exhaust manifold, have you heard much about them?

i am really pleased with my greddy. i have had alot of compliments on how it does not sound like a coffee can. but i did pay $500 for it. i try to stay away from the cheap ass ear ringing exhausts. but i have heard really good things about thermal research and development. i know one guy that has one on his eclipse and i about fill the cup when i stand next to it at idle.

The only problem with thermal exhausts for a n/a teg is that they're only 2.25 inches, slightly smaller than most. If you get the N1, a warning: it's LOUD. Really LOUD, at least without the silencer.

idk i like skunk2 i think thats 1 of the best sounding exhasut out there and it gives a good hp gain also.....just my opinion

[charlieteg]

Will def keep posted on any purchase, so far seems like Greddy, Skunk2 or Thermal R and D.. Somehow expected people to come back saying go for Mugen or Spoon.. are they generally a rip off for what you get? or do they deliver the ultimate hp gain?? personally, think its far too much dough for an exhaust!!!
neway at the mo jus waiting for my manifold to arr, an guesses on fitment cost??
thanks

Do you know what the model of your friends Thermal exhaust is so I can check it out??
nice one..

[integralover]

his is actually on a 2nd gen eclipse. and it in no way sounds at all like my greddy. i think i did good by getting the graddy, great sound and performance. but after hearing my friends Thermal R & D exhaust, i wish i woulda gotten one of them. and he says that he got a pretty god gain from it also. and his exhaust sounds soooo sweat from idle all the way to 8k rpm's.

My opinion, Greddy evo2. I hear skunk2 is great too. Spoon is top of the line, but at most, your only looking at 5 hp more, if even. Depends on your bank.

Will keep my eyes open for the Greddy Skunk2 or Thernal exhaust then.. Sound like the best all round for the money..Guess they will be hard to find 2nd hand will shop around for prices..
Thanks again.

You can go on ebay and find any of those for a good price..................fISH
