Are you going to at least do custom piping for more flow as even the stocl RSX piping was larger than the tooth pick piping of the F22 motors exhaust. With the whimpy piping you cant replicate the enjoyable rumble that this muffler made on the RSX/Civic SI. In fact if you do the 2.25 piping the 2.2 liter should return an even more enjoyable mellow rumble. Pee Wee straw piping connected to a nice muffler yeilds no audible sound.

Ah you decided to do a header after all. Awesome bro. What are the gains with vibrant header? I've never heard of this company until recently. Does it make better power than the average 5h.p. 8tq of the other mainstream brands?

i love north jersey/DTS but i absolutely hate the weather.
lol. that is true. everyone moves down south.
AC is overrated, 6-flags is for people who cant afford disney world, and DTS is what i LIVE for in the summer.

so back to the purpose of the thread :
got my exhaust done last night. i love the way to muffler looks and the welds and the 2.25 piping is pretty quality but im gonna have to bring it back because the muffler sits a little lower then i desire. hopefully they can modify the hangers a little bit.
i noticed a little difference in power. 5th gear on the highway pulls a little better.

good luck with that my friend. those people are too slow and laid back for me. i live my life like im on coke 24/7 and im probably taking years off my life rushing around like a mad man.
the exhaust is getting fixed in the morning. im gonna give it a quick wash and then snap some shots of it with my work camera.

ok so here are some updated shots of my car with blackhousing headlights and RSX-S exhaust. i didnt take the easy way out with blackhousing these headlights that most 6th gen Accord owners do. i masked off the corners of the housing because i think the corners painted black looks cheap.

eh just not a fan of DC headers even though ive had them longer then i liked. just a personal preference. so im gonna save for a Vibrant race header or an H22 race header modified to fit an F23.
im saving for a carsound high flow cat too.

so is your exhaust done or does it have to go back? it looks like its sitting a little low, imo.
also, the blackhousings look awesome.

Blackhousing looks great, props for keeping the amber part. Looks best IMO.
Projector retrofit anytime soon?

thank you. hopefully in the spring.
a little bit louder but not much, which is fine with me.
thank you. it was actually lower then before. its alot better now to be honest.
im more of an amber guy but the clear doesnt look too bad either. the key was that i didnt paint the corner which IMO is the easy way out.
no projectors. unless i can come across a cheap set of OEM Stanley headlights.

I have a pretty good update that is coming up for my Accord and is VERY relevant for the CL community. All the parts will be in on friday.
But for those who care I have a new job and am still employed by Honda. I am a Service Advisor for Planet Honda in Union, NJ. For those of you who knows me were aware that i was pretty deep into the NYPD hiring process. But as of early April that did not work out for me and God had another plan.

Hey I read through all the pages and noticed something about 99 CL OEM Rims, were you talking about this one?
I was actually thinking about getting rid of mine...once I find suitable Rims for my car, but I don't wanna do a 5 lug conversion...too lazy and seemed like a hassle, Lol. I was thinking if I found Bronze Rota Grids after I pick up some coilovers, I might get rid of these.
Clean accord btw, my girl's dad has one.

What a clean 1st Gen CL. WOW is all I can say. I buy all my rotas from www.machiii.net. The next set will be from http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/ind...bcdea38b79842c as they carry the 18" concave versions that will look great on my 3rd Gen TL. Your car will look great with 17's or 18's Machiii didnt list 8in grids on their site but if they do not carry them wheeldude does. Your cars wheels are i'm pretty sure +50 offset so the +45 grids will fit nice and flush. My 1st set of Rotas for my 95 civic coupe were 16x7 +40 offset Grids. They are so light that my car accelerated quicker than the wheels I bought the car with. PM me if you need an opinion.
