Civic exhaust

[Sacker90]

i have a '93 Honda Civic dx. its pretty slow. but anyway, do you all think

that a muffler and new bigger pipe ran all the way through, help out this

poor honda? if so, how much do you think all the new being ran would cost?

Thanks

well breathing out better would help, but you gotta be able to breathe in better too. if you're gonna spend the coin, and do the exhaust, start with the intake, then a header to get those exhaust pulses lined up and flowing good, then out the new bigger pipe and high flow muffler.

check out the FAQ, theres a great post/article in there about exhausts n such. depending on your brand and build of choice, or your exhaust shop, the whole thing intake to exhaust fumes could run from $550 and up. ($550 is cheap, you'd be lucky and do alot of work yourself)

check out the FAQ, check out other Honda/Acura forums, and use the search. Depending on your system, you could net about 15 HP from a new I/H/E.

good luck

If you just want a sweet sound get a catback system and an intake, no need for header. In my opinion a header is overrated. Too much money.

intake... best bang for the buck.. IMO

header on dx is a waste. SOHC isn't going to need it...jus got an intake (short ram or CAI, doesn't really matter), an then get a full cat system. but don't get too big of piping. my frien jus got 2 1/4 inch piping all the way back, an he lost power because of the lack of back pressure.

Id spend the extra money and go fot the cold air intake, instead of the short ram

why? give me one reason why the cold air is going to make much of a difference then the short ram. (don't say because the numbers say it will add up to 10 hp, because its not going to on a SOHC civic). get a short ram with a K&N air filter, an u'll see the same power as a CAI.

[markpa]

Its actually simple, do you want hot air or cold air to come into the engine?

[civickiller]

i am assuming his rx7 is stock because if he doesnt even know if an exhaust will help out his car then he must not know about cars, so his rx7 must be stock

[RoBoDEATH]

mines short ram, but that's because i cant find a cold air for it

Dude, if you're lookin' for speed, go nitro
Only guyz that are looking for attention get exhausts:frog:

[edman24]

nitrous? on a stock 93 civic? ive never heard of anything so dumb. that may give you about 20hp not to mention the fact that it will ruin your engine.

[Scott 02]

Stay away from Nitrous if you got a 4cylendar. Unless you got after market pistons and camshaft and a few other upgrades. You will totaly kill your engine. My buddy tried 2 shots in his 1.8 and smoked it. What idiot.

[dirk-diggler]

I think that spending $1000 on intake and exhaust just to gain 10 hp is also pretty dumb! You only ruin your engine if you do it wrong:frog: trust me, with NOS you never lose
