CRX: RE: exhaust systems

[Ian Baker]

Chris   Depending on where you live you might want to check into whether you can remove your cat for street use... I run the thermal classic cat-back on my CSP CRX and it performs wonderfully, though it is a bit loud both on the throttle and at cruise. Since the car is dedicated to autocross/track use I replaced the cat with a pipe and it changed the sound (and smell) of the car quite a bit. The car is distinctly louder now across the band, and it has a much raspier tone than before. If you are looking to keep your car close to stock sound I would suggest looking at the DC-sports and Mugen (if you can find one) kits. My roommate runs the DC exhaust on his car and compared to the no-cat thermal I run it sounds pretty damn quiet :)   Ian     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 10:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: CRX: exhaust systems   hi, ive been looking around lately for a cat back system for my 91 crx w/ b16. currently i just have the stock system hooked up till i get a new one, but im looking for some opinions on the bolt on cat back systems that you have on your cars right now. ive been looking at thermal r&d for a good throaty sound. ive heard its loud, but ive never heard it myself. im trying to keep my exhaust sound at close to stock as possible, but then again, id like to be able to hear it roar. im not into the rice sound or anything like that. i also have a dc 4-1 header bolted on too. my plan is to: most likely get the thermal exhaust, self weld a hi flow race muffler where the cat goes, and hook the rest of it up normal. either that or a pipe in place of the cat. any opinions on the thermal system would be greatly appreciated, along with any other setups you all have. im up for anything. regards, chris 91dx(cracker)
