well, the look of the system is hardly what makes it the best mod ever. i love the sound of the WS. it sounds very smooth and quiet... almost like one of those stock audi or bmw exhausts. it really deters the cops - because it doesn't make your car sound like the typical 'rice burner'. it's got a nice tone to it ... like i said, very subtle though. i've also noticed a definite performance gain... ALL throughout the powerband. the acceleration (in any gear) is much smoother and it seems as though the accelerator is a bit more touchy... i don't have to mash the pedal as far to pick up some speed anymore.Originally posted by HondaFan81
yea, just needed to be mounted higher...looks good & what did you mean by "best mod i've done?"
what do you like about it other than looks?
i think that the catback optimized my dc sports header performance also. i might even bolt up a test pipe soon... maybe i can get some more flow and a tad bit more sound from the system. i think i'm also going to try and hang the exhaust even higher. because the hangers i'm using for the a'pexi right now are the same hangers i used for my previous muffler. so, i might buy even shorter ones.
it's a great system though. i love it.

yeah i liked how it looked, but that was just a muffler - and it was hella loud and raspy. i didn't want to bother with custom piping and stuff... i just wanted a system that was specifically made for the CB7.Originally posted by kings_blend

So, you customized it so it would hang higher? Could you explain what you did? Did you weld hangers onto the hangers that already were on the canister? Also, the World Sport canister has hangers already welded onto it, right?"I'm out for presidents to represent me"

well, i haven't done anything to make it hang higher yet. that's how its hanging right now just using my old rubber hangers.Originally posted by 1CrawlinAccord

i'm going to go buy shorter rubber hangers and put them on in a few days though. that will probably make it sit a little higher. i'll let you guys know how that turns out.. and i'll get pics.
yes, the metal hook type hangers were already welded onto the canister when it came.Comment

Ok, cool. Thanks for clearing it up for me. To me, it looks really good now. But, if you raised it up a little bit, I feel it will look a little better. Also, is there anyway you can post up a picture of directly behind the car so we can see what the exhaust looks like from exactly behind it? If so, I would appreciate it.

hmmm.... i think all of my exhaust shots are at an angle. i'll try and get some more from directly behind soon (before and after short hangers).Originally posted by 1CrawlinAccord

the hangers can be purchased at any regular auto parts store like NAPA. i'm not sure on the price... but they can't be too much. maybe 2 or 3 bucks for one? i'll let you know for sure when i go buy some this week.Comment

yeah. i don't know how the sizes are measured, but just ask an employee at your local shop for their shortest available rubber exhaust hangers.Originally posted by HondaFan81

ran my tread down on the two front nitto tires, and don't have the 250 dollars for a new set and getting them mounted and balanced. plus, it's just about winter time... and i'm gonna try and keep the konigs out of the nasty weather this year. so... i threw on my stock 15" EX wheels that i've painted black.
heres a few pics (you might need to brighten your screen a little, the wheels get blacked out on dark screen settings):
