new type s ( in need of mod experiance )

[Josh DC5s]

hello everyone,

i just recently purchased a type s... and i really want to do some modifications like my exhaust manifolds etc... i dont know a great deal or really nothing compare to many of you's and was seeking opinions on how i should go about doing these mods...

for an exhaust a mate who has dc2r recommends a Buddy Club Pro Spec 3 2.25" or 2.5" ?

and this for an cold air intake systems

just wondering what are your opinions?

i want to notice and achieve
- change pitch when hitting vtec
- better response low - mid
and isn't to loud or tinny

thank you..

For a street setup I believe the below mods are your best bet.

Budget Setup
Injen CAI
JDM Headers
Fujitsubo Power Getter

Ballin Setup
Gruppe M or J's Racing Intake
TODA Headers
J's Racing 60RS, Mugen Twin Loop or Amuse Titan exhaust

For more handling performance, add a set of tyres from Bridgestone or Yokohama Advan and some sway bars. I'm of the opinion coilovers are best left until after you have upgraded tyres and sway bars. Excessive lowering then leads you towards, camber arms and bolts, roll centre adjusters, inverted tie rods and so on so make sure you have deep pockets before you dump your DC5.

I'd rather have herpes than Buddy Club exhausts. Especially if you want something that won't wake the dead when you drive past a cemetary.

cool i will defiantly consider your word of advice

yer cause considering lowering it 1" or 2" but what it doesn't stop there? what if handling wasn't my main concern... is that big no no

also what would the cost be of the basic setup? and the ballin setup just a rough guide so im aware of what costs would be involved

okay cool so i get the point that buddy club are shit lol

I agree with this guy. Both setups will give a nice modified note to the engine without being ricey loud. I would use a Mugen exhaust manifold if you were baller though, to avoid having to mess around with getting a car welded into the Toda.

If you end up with the Amuse be sure to get the version with the resonator if you don't want it to be too loud. I have the non-resonated version and it is moderately loud and droney.

cool! would you happen to know a rough price for the budget setup and the ballin one just so i can get a vague idea??

btw... with a amuse what inch would you recommend ?

Amuse only make 60mm exhausts for DC5s sadly .

I have 2/3 of m0nty's baller setup, the exhaust and the intake. I would budget at least 2.2k for the Amuse exhaust and $800 for the Gruppe M. Not sure how much a Toda exhaust manifold goes for these days, but a Mugen will be 2k+.

60mm for minor mods. 70mm for a better mod platform for the future, although some tuners have claimed the K20 works very well with a 70mm exhaust regardless of other mods. I haven't read up huge amounts on it. ChargeR would have more detailed input.
