Spec-D Tuning 4" Burnt Tip Exhaust Catback System | For 1992-2000 Honda Civic 2/4Dr Ex Si

I bought this recently to finish off my Exhaust from the Header I had already installed of the same manufacturer. Welds were great, shipped quickly and safely,nothing broken or any damage and had all needed parts, bolts,nuts and gaskets. I reused My stock Catalytic Converter since it was perfectly fine and would meet up this exhaust system. There are three (3) bolts and nuts that mount the stock catalytic to the stock resonator. On my stock catalytic Those three (3) bolts were deformed and rusted to an un-torque-able shape. I had the convenience of doing this work at a MWR Autocraft shop with access to an Air cutter (Pneumatic rotary saw), if you do not have access to such a tool then this will be more difficult to complete the job. You can tell if this will be a problem for you buy getting under neath your car and locating the catalytic converter where it connects to the resonator and looking at the three bolts there. you have three options to solve this problem. Option 1. buy an appropriate size CARBIDE drill bit from lowes and drill out the three bolts. Option 2. If you have the time to spare then you can separate the catalytic and locate a machine shop nearby and have them drill out the three bolts for you for a fee. Option 3. Using an air cutter I first cut the resonator pipe close to where it meets the catalytic to simplify things. Then using the air cutter I cut along the indentation where the two pipes meet and separated them as evenly as possible. I then Ground down what was left of the three bolt heads, being careful to not grind through the catalytic converter metal itself. I then used the Air Cutter to cut thinly into the "middle point" of each remaining bolt while still in it's hole. by doing this I cut what is left of the bolt in half and then using a hammer and punch ;punch out what is left of the three bolts leaving three bolt holes and ready to be mated to the new Resonator! This worked perfectly fine and it all went together very well and No my EJ8 sounds like a Jet fighter when it hits 4K RPM and up!

It sounds like a ricer honda pipe, but it fits on the car perfectly. It comes with grade 8 Hardware, all the gaskets (except for the donut gasket!) and for $160 it can’t be beat for the catback piping alone. You can always upgrade the resonator and muffler later (which I highly recommend), because the stainless pipe is genuinely high quality.

So I have a 1998 honda civic lx 4dr (I'm a ricer for now but won't be for long) I want to just make everything I say clear here. I give the spec D exaust a 5/5 because it doesn't sound like a weed Wacker it sound good, it's a deep idk how to explain the sound but it sounds pretty good. Not cheap at all well made,the weld jobs are good. Comes with the all the exaust piping except a test tube which I need for my car for everything to fit in place. Overall great product for a get price!also there is a silencer that comes included(already on the muffler, took mine off haven't tried it yet. Ollnly thing that's kinda bad and that I need to research is why is my exaust shaking? Don't know why but I'll look it up hopefully and prolly get some answers!

This unit fits my 99 Honda Civic EX Coupe. The fit and finish of the product appear to be excellent. The hangers were all in the proper locations. There are two issues though I have with this unit. First the 4 inch tip rubs the bottom of the rear bumper. Perhaps a 3.5 inch tip instead of this units 4 inch would be a better choice. Longer rear rubber hanger isolators might help. Second it's loud even with the cone silencer installed. The car still has the Cat and stock headers. I did not notice any power gains, just noise even with the windows up. I'm researching now on how to quiet this system short of replacing a brand new muffler. Bottom Line: If you like it Loud, this a great unit for the money. If you want stock quiet, look elsewhere. Update:After one and half year later the intake side of the Muffler seam weld came apart.The seller only warrenty items for 90 days. This is a stainless steel system that is already broken. If you want something that lasts, spend more money and buy a unit from a brand name that backs their products.

Bolts right up and fits correctly. If you install it without the silencer it will be raspy at first, especially at high rpms. It's definitely quieter with the silencer however, at high rpms it vibrates against the muffler tip, because they only provide two bolts to hold it on. I used black instant gasket/rtv, to seal and cushion the metal to metal rattle noise which is horrible I must say. After a week of driving around with the silencer in, I noticed the exhaust note changing, and getting even more quiet. I then removed the silencer and it's not raspy at all anymore and has a great low note. It breaks up a little after vtec engagement but still sounds wonderful not like other raspy non-resonated, straight pipe exhaust systems. I noticed after installing, the exhaust emitted a whitish smoke for a few days but it did stop, I guess it's part of the break in process.

Using a test pipe I was unable to bolt up directly to a B-Series Downpipe. The exhaust fit well and sounds good. Update.. Swapped out the B-Series exhaust manifold and added a Megan Header and it bolted up without any issue. I finally removed the silencer and... WOW now it sounds really good. The car revs much smoother now. I would say its a good 15-20% louder but its a much deeper sound without the silencer. Update. After about 1 year of continual use it sounds horrible. It seems to be breaking down and sounds worse by the day. Just ordered a different brand as a replacement.

Bought this catback system, the Spec-D 2.5" cat/test pipe, and the Dynamik 4-2-1 header and downpipe. Installation of this catback took some muscle to fit properly on my 1998 Honda Civic LX Sedan but it did work. Did not come with the spring-loaded nut and bolt sets for between the cat and downpipe so there is little to no flex in my exhaust right now which may lead to problems eventually if not fixed. Overall the system looks good and actually sounds pretty awesome for it using a fart-cannon muffler. I almost don't want to cut that off, but my twin-loop will look and sound better than the fart-cannon does. Note - If you have the same or similar car as mine and you're planning to replace the entire exhaust like I did then you absolutely need the Spec-D 2.5" cat/test pipe. The Dynamik header/downpipe combo(or pretty much any new header/downpipe for this car) replaces the existing exhaust manifold/cat(cat is mounted directly to exhaust manifold on this car) and also the existing downpipe, and this Spec-D catback is designed like any other...assuming you will be running a test pipe or under-car cat to put between the new catback and the new header/downpipe. Without the Spec-D 2.5" cat/test pipe you will not have a complete exhaust system. You will also have to extend the wiring for the second o2 sensor to go from the original cat location to the new, further back cat location. The second o2 will not work on the downpipe because it will hit the driver-side CV shaft boot and it can't go on the header because that's where the first o2 sensor goes. It also can't go on the new cat because it will be hitting shift linkages or pointing straight down to the ground(there are two o2 bungs on it). Stupid design.

Arrive sooner than what tracking said. Looks good. I received the wrong type of muffler though. They sent me a burnt tip but I ordered full stainless. Kept it anyways. These sit really low and would scrape everywhere on my already lowered car. Had to get a welder to cut and weld them higher. Also they were too short so they had to extend them out of my car because the muffler was burning my bumper off. Other than that these sound good. Pros : Look good, sound good. Cons: Sit low, not very long. (on my EM1)

fit great cant be happier for the price point also sounds awesome on my 2.0l turbo

Installed on my 93 civic 2door coupe. If you want to go header back you will need to purchase the test pipe separately. This not only looks good and is correct length but man is it ever loud!! Watch out for sound traps as this baby will definitely set them off!

Bought this cat back system for my 2000 Honda civic SiR coupe fit was tight but easily went in, if I were to change anything it would be the tailpipe off the muffler is about 3 inches short for my body kit, but sound is nice and strong.

good fit.Dirt Cheap Price.

Does NOT fit my 1999 Honda Civic Si like it said. Much fabrication was needed. Sounds okay, kinda ricey but what do you expect.
