Yes. How much are you lowered in winter?

drewbie · 02-19-2008, 01:50 PM

Hey guys, I'm thinking about installing a new exhaust for my civic coupe lx and since you must know the law and that we all live in the same area... could you tell me which one I'll get trouble with the cops and which one I won't
I'm thinking about a magnaflow cat-back system but some people told me that they were constantly stop by the cops to see
Does I'm better going with a Vibrant one or something else ???

***oldskool*** · 02-19-2008, 09:48 PM

The best would be to go to a custom shop and ask for maximum flow and keeping it as quiet as possible imo.

***oldskool*** · 02-19-2008, 09:50 PM

@chapyn: you dont accept PM so PM me your email address or something. I have questions regarding your retrofit. Thanks.

drewbie · 02-20-2008, 08:54 AM

But you guys, what had you install and had you trouble with the cops with it ?

Just got my SI yesterday night!!!

I am know driving a black sedan SI!

First mod: get Winter Tire ASAP! The OEM 17" are crap in today's snow... and almost dangerous!

I started surfing the site almost a week ago... Is there a "have to do" mod on this car? I don't want to start spending money on it like I did on my 7thgen. But, I don't mind adding something if it really make a differece! Intake? suspension? etc...

What's good about those springs is that the car rides like stock.

I'm looking to get the Vibrant race with hfc, similar setup to you in the sense I want to bolt it up to the stock catback.
Does your current setup stink? I heard race headers cause stink in the car's cabin.
Is there drone inside the car when crusing @ 100km/hr on the highway?
Did you buy your header locally or from the states?

1cleanfg2 · 02-27-2008, 10:49 PM

You have the comptech springs? Ya it does smell a bit when you are behind but the cabin doesn't smell unless your windows are all open and there is a breeze. No there is no drone at all, it sounds awesome. I bought the header from excelerate, a seller from the board.

vic1234 · 02-28-2008, 04:15 AM

hey with 8 bars gone does 190km sound good!

vic1234 · 02-28-2008, 04:15 AM

and what are your km in the cold weather in montreal

Do you keep them on in the winter? If so do you have trouble with daily driving?

I haven't driven my car this winter. I don't see a problem driving it in the winter. One of guys at my workplace drives to work in a g37.
