dude I noticed by the photo your car is auto....dont' bother modding it man cause it's auto....that muffler will be HUGE and Loud.....it will make your car look pretty stupid.....save for another car that is a 5spd or save for a manual converstion...then piece together a turbo kti so your D16 will have soem speed THE END

I bought my carbon fiber muffler from ebay, it sounds and looks good. The silencer does dull out the sound when on, when it's off it's loud as hell.

yah its more like 10% percent minus 10 hp increace...lol Mufflers do nothing powerwise...

The silencer on mine makes my exhaust sound almost stock, I can barely hear it with it in... but when its out its pretty loud.... I guess it all depends on the particular muffler...

Hi guys!! Thanks so much for your advice BOOSTZEX!!! (lol, i typed boostsex again lol)

The inlet of the muffler is 2.5" and I think my stock inlet is 2.15" or something?? That is okay right??

your stock will be much smaller than that... The exhaust guy should make you a new axle back with the right sleeves to make it fit... expect to spend up ti 100$ for the install... might be able to find a better price than that, but thats about average...80-100$

please.... please, if you have ANY sense, you will not purchase this ridiculous product. You would be better off just letting your current exhaust fall of, then buying ANY stock integra axleback and making it fit.

Yea thats a better idea, for 80 bucks you should be able to get a Type R axleback used. Catbacks run like 200 last time I looked.

Does an ITR axle-back bolt onto a EK coupe (Si) readily? If it doesn't, approximately how much would it cost to get it to fit? Thanks!

Why is it not a worthwhile upgrade? Coming back to my question, does an ITR axle-back bolt right up to EK coupes?

92-00 Civic shares the exhaust, so if it bolts to a 5th gen, it'll bolt to a 6th gen.

I guess that's the big question... Does an ITR axle-back bolt right on to 5th gen or 6th gen Civics??
