Skunk2 Mega Power R and CAI, NO OTHER MODS?????

06NaviEX · 05-10-2008, 10:51 AM

I found the following video on Skunk2's website and on YouTube.

From the video, I love the sound of this exhaust. I keep hearing everyone say that it is so loud, but it really doesn't seem loud in the video?

My question is, would the 70mm Skunk2 along with an Injen CAI be to much exhaust for my Si? I'm not going to go FI or cams, just stick with that combo. To me, it seems like I would be better sticking with a 60mm exhaust. Even on Skunk2's website, they state that the 70mm is for "tuned" cars. I don't think a CAI is really "tuned"?

Thanks for any help,
Brian

With just CAI and exhaust you're not going to notice much different other than the sweet sweet sound. I agree with you that Skunk2 sounds the best. I have the 70mm :) And yes, it is freaking loud without the silencer. I do 80 miles of highway commuting daily so I keep it in. When I go turbo, out it comes though.

If you want functional power gains, you really gotta go for the reflash + i/h/e combo. The header alone probably makes the most noticable gain, followed by the reflash, then exhaust, then intake. With that combo the car pulls alot better than stock and the 8600rpm redline is very nice for staying in the VTEC range from gear to gear. I really can't remember how the car was without the reflash and wish Honda would have tuned it this way from the get go

Hope that info helps!
