Do you have any pics of the Neuspeed front lower strut bar?

I'm looking for a quieter exhaust come next spring as well. The two candidates are the WS and the RS*R ExMag. I thought I had heard that the WS II didn't sound as nice as the old one. Are you saying it's just as quiet, Mr. Louie?

I had the WS on my EX for a while. It's a really nice system but the "S" pipe was hitting the gas tank. Overall the construction is solid but wish they could have had better fitment. I think the new ones have this problem corrected.

Well figure I was used to driving with an N1 exhaust for 4.5 years. Going from that to my WS was like being outside an 747 and inside the 747. I'm used to it now. When you engage the VTEC cross over it definitely wakes up a bit.

All the A'PEXi exhausts for some reason hit the gas tanks on the Civics. My N1 did that until I moved the hangers a bit and used a rubber exhaust hanger to sandwich it between the tank and the joint that was hitting.

I know when I put my new COmptech sway bar in and then the WS exhaust it was like 3mm away from each other.

I might have tried the same thing, it's been a while since I had the exhaust. I just remember the pipe hanger or the actual pipe was vibrating very badly off the tank or chassis. My Greddy system fit pretty good but there was a slight contact with the Neuspeed rear sway bar.

I had a bad vibration and rattle coming off my exhaust, which I thought was banging on my gas tank. I figured out it was vibration coming through the old rubber hangers and was rattling the chassis. I replaced the old, stiff rubber hangers with new ones, and it stopped.

are you going to try that thing that ties a couple of the frame parts in the front together to make it more rigid?

It's illegal in my class for SCCA.
