Default Full custom exhaust system

Once again the Race-Tech boys turn out the goods! Beautifully made, with nicer routing and more open sweeping bends where space allows. Fits Perfect and the Backbox muffler is so much more nice and subtle. Sounds awesome in Vtec and definitely feels to pull better and more reponsive.

The system now also supports the Uprated JDM Exhaust manifold with 2.5 inch collector and larger primaries. So the system is a true upgrade from 2.25 to 2.5 inch straight through. To my luck I found that my old s2000 collector gasket was exactly what we needed to mate the new system up to its manifold merge collector.

Some comparison and fitted pictures.















Great work again Boys! A pleasure as always Thanks alot!

Its B16a2 dude. Goes as well as a B16 b though. Best stock B16 I've driven actually and I must have driven 5-10 including B16b...

Ahh, I'm in the process of tuning a lads EK9 - its making 194BHP with a few bolt on's (exhaust, decat, manifold, CAI) so just needs a tune (running on 97ron)- great cars for a 1.6L!

Very surprised with it, the amount of cars it leaves!

It has D2 coilovers on so handles like a go kart too!.

Yup those MP3's (I mean MPS's) are 256BHP, whats the spec of your car?

I really destroyed a new shape Focus RS the other week, 2nd gear and boom .

Its my brothers Civic Jordan. Its stock apart from an ITR exhaust manifold 2.5 inch collector, this full 2.5 inch system and a j's carbon intake. It also has meister R suspension.

Really there was nothing in it between this and the mps though. I think it would keep up with, if not be quicker than my stock S was...

amazing! keeping up with the MPS! weren't the jordans only 160BHP too?

I like it when vtec kicks in, nothing really happens under 5.7k rpm then all hell lets loose!

These little cars are quick, then die off at very high speeds, but yes a tuned EK9 would be as fast as an S IMO, if not slightly quicker.

Most cars are lard arse's these days.

I would bet any stock S wouldnt keep up with this Jordan...They were about 165 out the factory. I would guess this would be in the 180-90 region now.
