TSX CUSTOM EXHAUST/Spring Mods

Hey yall, just wanted to know few things regarding the exhaust system. First off, changing the rear end of the exhaust from the split onwards(meaning muffler and pipes leading to split area), will it result in descent power gains and is it worth it?
Secondly, the eibach sport line dropping TSX 1.6 front and 1.9 rear do you think its a good set of springs? If not what springs do u recommend...
Lastly does the gear shifting smoothen up with a after market exhaust system....?

Thanks..

What does the shifter smoothening up have to do with any part of the exhaust? I don't get it...
Sorry.

aftermarket exhaust wont give u much gain, more of a appearance and sound look, unless you get the I/H/E combo, with a nice open cat, you can get some nice decent powers..

the EIback sportlines, never tried, but i have Pro-kit. It's alright, decent ride comfort. BUt sportlines might suck for comfort though since it's lowered so much on stock shocks~

Changing just the rear sections most likely won't yield much gain. The Eibach Sportline springs are 1.9F and 1..6R. I used to have those but make sure you match them up with good aftermarket shocks. If the aftermarket exhaust allows the engine to rev up faster, which in turn should allow you to shift into the next gear in shorter time, but not necessarily smoother.

If you're going for a simple drop with springs, the eibach is the best IMO, but if you want shocks that match, you're probably better off with coilovers

Thumbs up Coilovers----

If I get coil overs, which ones do you suggest and is it possible to leave them at same height all the time, will this give me a better ride? The exhaust is mostly acoustic and esthetic.......thanks for your opinions guys...

Obsurd.
Transmission and Exhaust have nothing to do with each other. Until you can show me proof, I must call BS on this myth.
