straight pipes clip
me and my friend put together this little video of my car. this is just more of a teaser. I'm hoping to make a longer and more detailed one eventually.
i just thought i would post this to see what you guys think and to show how the car sounds with 2.5" straight pipes

Sounds pretty damn good. I like it. So you didn't have a resonator or anything on it? How loud is it when cruising? Notice a big improvement in HP or torque?

straight pipe as in no muffler/cat? or what?
i think id stick a resonator on it at the very least, the overrun is very unflattering

Man, if Civics sounded like this, they might have a chance at being cool.

i have no cat, no muffler.
it is pretty loud at cruising so i wouldn't recommend it for everyone but i just love the sound
there might be a little difference in hp/tq but it might just be the loud noise tricking me.

The back end is soft in these cars. That's pretty much what they do in stock form, especially with the sachs shocks even when they're new. Are those Koni yellows on there?
