Since my brakes are pretty much shot, I decided to go Brembo. I will have the Brembo Sport Slotted for the fronts, and the Brembo Blanks for the rear. Deciding on Pads was hard, after researching for several weeks I decided to go with AEM pads.

Below are some pics.





Sometime next week, I will be having the exhaust redone. Since I am part owner of a performance shop and we have a mandrel pipe bending machine, we are going to make a custom exhaust using Polished Stainless Steel.

We will be fabricating it based on my Greddy EVO except I will be using one 2 1/2" X 18" long stainless steel resonator, instead of the two 12" resonators Greddy opted for.

We will be flanging the pipes just like the Greddy system, so I will able to remove the exhaust and swap the Greddy EVO one back on for the Winter, since it's already rusting on the Intermediate pipe.

I assume everyone is wondering what muffler I will be using, huh?

I decided to use the Universal Tanabe Super Racing Medalion ("Racing Spec") muffler. The Tanabe Super Racing Medalion exhaust is one of the best sounding exhausts I have ever heard, but they don't make it for 98-02 Accord, just the crappy Hyper Spec one, which is too conservative for me.

Below are some pics of what the muffler and the resonator will look like. I will be taking many photos during the building process.

Very nice, that is my next mod as well minus the rotors. I'm tired of seeing rusted out exhaust pipes. Are your still using the stock catalytic converter?
