Finally picked up some 50/50 tails...
Ill have to try that. Also, the lever broke so if I want to adjust them, I have to stick the handle in hard (no homo). I just hate how they dont lock after I recline them so everyone has to get in through the other side. I think im going to go back to OEM Ex seats.

What muffler are you planning on? I'm in the market for a new muffler myself (tired of the fart can), but I don't know what many of them sound like... so I to don't know what to pick up. I've gone through countless youtube videos of people showing each muffler's tone, but every time they rev the audio just distorts and they all sound like s**t.
The car is coming along nicely though man.

I have a Megan OE-RS muffler on my Prelude but that's a H rather than a B series so it may sound different still. I do like how the OE-RS looks though if you check out the images.
Well, I'm running a D16, and I did just find a video of a y7 with the OE-RS cat-back setup and it sounded pretty nice compared to others I've listened to. I'm going for that low growl, as opposed to the raspy, throaty, buzzy sound most civics produce. I'm not eve sure if what I'm trying to achieve is possible with the D... but I'm willing to try. Thanks for the suggestion.

My Prelude had the typical Honda ricer sounding exhaust when I had the Megan resonator on that came with the cat back. I replaced it with an 18" Magnaflow resonator and it cleaned up the tone a lot; deeper and a bit quieter too. If you have ricer exhaust issues check out resonators next, they help.

New parts!! MFactory dual bend short throw shifter with fresh bushings. Met the owner at SEMA and saw great craftsmanship, thought I'd give them a try.
I love how its coming along, its cleaning up really nicely OP good job 
As for the resonator are you talking about the ones you get at auto parts stores? Im getting a generic 2.5" exhaust but I know its gonna be loud so ive been thinking about getting a resonator welded in line.

Thanks for the kind words
The resonator I had welded in the Prelude was an 18" MagnaFlow resonator. If you can deal with it not being "JDM" MagnaFlow makes great products. Just pick your diameter and length (the longer the quieter and deeper the tone). All in all the installed resonator should run you around $120 ($70 for unit, $50 to have it welded in). You'll then have a Civic that doesn't sound like every other Civic cruising the streets.
