Coming from a completey stock DC2R I wasn't sure what to expect..
First thing when I picked the car up after having the headers and exhaust fitted was how nice the car sounded. Sounds almost stock at idle.
I find the loudest the exhaust gets when driving is when loading up the car with revs between 3 and 4000rpm in 3rd or 4th gear. A nice deep note, then once hitting the higher revs its almost like stock (from inside the car this is).
Definalty a noticable increase in airflow and response from the car throught the entire rev range.
Mugen Intake. I installed this about a week and half after the headers and exhaust. For all those worried about fitting this, don't be. Its really not that hard as others have made it out to be. More time consuming then hard, having said that though, I reckin I could do another install in under half an hour.
First thing I noticed when driving was how much cleaner the car revved, the stock resonater and air box are huge compared to the much more direct down to business style of the mugen intake.
As others have noted the intake makes a cool whistling noise through out various rev points. When you come onto VTEC, its much more noticable, definalty pulls harder and the sheer howl of this intake is awesome..
The grin factor of the car has definalty been increased! Lol..
Its been hard for me to stay out of the car since having these parts installed.
