I think it is funny that these guys will even work on our little beater cars, If you only knew the level and quality of cars they work on you would be blown away.

Super Top Notch fabricators...schmucks in general but great fabricators....

I have been doing this kind of stuff a long time and I don't remember having a more positive experience. I'm pretty jealous you are local and getting what i think you are getting over there.
I'm going to see if they can use your car to make me an axleback if you don't mind

do you have a HFC or Test Pipe?

the tanabe exhaust system does not have a resonator

JoeBoxer · 09-05-2012, 12:34 AM

I got the test pipe, I just went for a drive windows down and it does have a little rasp to it. If i get an exhaust too it will most likely be an axleback so the stock resonator will still be there.

This pipe is in risky territory for me. The sound is riding the fence between sounding like a riced out civic and sounding like an epic S2000. I'm leaning towards loving it. Would this bolt up with the SRT exhaust?

JoeBoxer · 09-05-2012, 12:49 AM

It's factory fit so I would think any exhaust would work. You can get the SRT to include this same section if you get the header back kit and its only $200 more than the cat back.

Will do...ill see if my friend is free tomorrow to help me out...if not for sure Saturday

If you aren't a fan of the rasp, the HFC is definitely a better choice for you.

Thanks for the video Rene!
