Hi All
Been lurking here a while and its a great site. Anyway complete newbie when it comes to vtec's.
I purchased my first vtec about 2 months ago which was an 02 arctic blue DC5. I swore to myself that I will keep it standard as I use it for my DC5 for my work commute (around 600kms a week).
2 months on and I just don't find the standard system satisfying.
What sound am I after
I would ideally like a deep sound, I am not into the whole raspy sound. Its just not for me. I don't really want a mental loud exhaust that drones in the cabin as I do a lot of motorway driving. So after hours of research on youtube I have come up with the following options
Fujistubo RM01A
HKS Hi-power
Skunk megapower (sounds great in the video but never heard one in person) are these ridiculously loud ?
Get one custom made. Have the option of a 63.5mm or 70mm diameter piping.
Would there be much of a difference between the standard system (think 55mm) and the 63.5mm. Would the difference be massive between the 63.5mm and the 70mm.
I got offered a spoon n1 and spoon b pipe for cheap but turned it down as a lot of people say they are very loud.
Is there any other cat backs I might have overlooked or missed to give me the desired sound I am after.
I know this is my first post. I keep meaning to start a project thread. I will stick it up tonight after I am home from work
Anyway Thanks in advance all you Honda lovers
