    Recommended exhaust for 88 sedan.

    For that price you'll be able to find a performance muffler, not a full exhaust though. You'll need more than that if you want a full exhaust system. Keep in mind that replacing the muffler will only change the sound, you won't get any performance increase from it. Since you're really just...

    New Civic Type R boasts 310hp, 295 torque turbocharged 2.0 l engine

    Yeah, with $30k I can find some better options other than a Civic, to be honest. It has power and performance, but in the end, it's still a Civic. Otherwise, they would have called it something else, amirite...

    Recommended exhaust for 88 sedan.

    :welcome: Are you looking for stock, something cheap and you don't care how it sounds, something that you don't care how it sounds as long as it works? Without this information, really I can only point you to Google to search "88 civic exhaust" and choose whatever is cheapest.

    upgrading factory system 2015 civic sedan ex

    :welcome: to ClubCivic! Since you're having BestBuy do it, I'd just give them a call -- they should be able to look all that information up. You may also be able to find it in the user manual, though I'm not sure there.

    It has to do with sound waves and resonance and vibrations and stuff I leaned in physics once. Basically your engine makes a noise at a certain frequency, as does your exhaust, and they change based on your RPM. At some point the frequencies will match up and align, causing exhaust drone...

    Buying advice.

    ^ Touché to both of you. Buying a modified car is never good.. chances are they modified it to go (or try to go) faster, meaning they probably romped on it a good bit. Oh and get a Carfax. Some will swear they are useless, but there are somethings on there that a mechanic cannot tell you by...

    Buying advice.

    :welcome: Here's my advice: #1 - Rust. Run if you see it. #2- Take it for a test drive. If you hear any weird noises, ask the seller. If they don't let you test drive it, walk away. #3 - Ask seller if you can both bring it to a mechanic for a quick inspection. When I was selling my g35, the...

    I don't daily drive in vtec so if it's loud when I get on it, that's fine. The only complaints that I've heard with it is loud exhaust drone on the highway... which can't be worse than the 3" eBay exhaust I had on my Civic haha. This is also bolting right up to my stock header for the moment...

    99 civic retrofit headlights (ebay)

    Seeing as my retrofit kit alone cost me $240, not counting the headlights, I'm going to say they're cheaply made and / or just crappy projectors thrown into a knockoff housing. Post a link, and we shall reveal the truth! :lol:

    stance questions

    Unfortunately when it comes to stance, you won't find much here. But, if you haven't already, get your fenders rolled!

    Purchased an exhaust from the CC store today! Invidia N1, my buddy has this on his Type S and it sounds great.. a nice deep tone; not loud or raspy either.

    Found my next car: Koenigsegg Regera, 1,500 hp, no gearbox.

    Yeah, that's why I didn't list it as a flaw. It's basically a very fast expensive tank.

    oil problem

    Take a breath. Use a period - help us help you! Anyways, got any pictures? It's hard to tell with just a block of text. You mentioned you see oil spewing from your feed AND return line? If that's the case, I'd check / replace the seals. If it's just with the return line, I would recommend...

    Found my next car: Koenigsegg Regera, 1,500 hp, no gearbox.

    :drool: That is one sexy car. It's heavy though! An ugly steering wheel is is only flaw IMO. (and a price of $1.9million)

    93 mini me idles fine, but has no power

    The engine is louder but the idle is still ok? Sounds like an exhaust leak of some sort. I'd double check that exhaust gasket. Is the CEL on?

    Low rough idle & occasional stall

    Hi Bob! Is your check engine light on by any chance? Try cleaning your Idle Air Control Valve (IACV) and see if your idle situation improves after doing so. How to: http://www.d-series.org/forums/diy-forum/90493-d-i-y-iacv-cleaning.html
