Please DO NOT Post In The General Section

From this point on until otherwise briefed, posting in the general section of Performance Tech is prohibited. The only thing to remain here will be the stickies. We would just delete this section, but that would cause unintended results.


The majority of the threads created can appropriately be placed in one of the Performance Tech sub-forums or Technical; and the posting of them here is detrimental to the activity of said forums. If you have any questions about where you need to place your thread PM me or one of the other mods.


For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.


Everyone will get a couple of warnings from here on out, after that I just start deleting threads.

Again if you have any questions, PM me or one of the other mods.

    DIY Cat-Back

    This is about a cat-back if buy i cat what brands would prevent me from buying a 300 dollars+ cat or could i just get the Muffler shop to do a custom setup: resulting in having hiim or her to custom angle it out like a n1 and to do the piping from the down pipe on back, but if i do that would i gain or lose power


    Thats not oil burning its just Vtec dust

    Hmm.. makes 0 sense, but in case you want to know about piping, go with 2.25" or 2.5 inch piping. You can buy catback exhaust system, which will be premade for your car, and it bolts right up, or you can have one custom made at an exhaust shop. The best way to go is to buy full catback, STAINLESS, so it doesn't rust. Don't just strap on a muffler though. DO IT RIGHT.

      One potential advantage of having everything done at a shop is that you should be able to try different setups. Go in and tell them the idea you wish to accomplish with the understanding that you want to be able to have them swap out and redo some parts, such as muffler or resonator etc. until you get the sound you want. You'll pay extra for this of course, but if you shop around it may not be too much more.

      The pre-made ones are a great thing for the DIYer, but they are the result of other people's decisions. You may not like the result.
