Hello!
I have a 1992 Honda Civic CX Hatchback that I am currently swapping a 2000 Honda Accord SiR H23A DOHC VTEC engine into. I was looking into a few different exhausts for my car, but I'm finding out that I can't make up my mind.

I am the kind of person who likes really loud exhausts (not the high-pitched sound but the deep growl sound...like a Tanabe Super Racing Medallion). However, I would sacrifice a loud exhaust for one that gave me better horsepower and torque gains.

I was wondering if anyone could give me some basic information on the exhausts (like tip diameter, B-pipe diameter, loudness, weight, and horsepower/torque gains) so that I can make up my mind. The exhaust systems that I am looking at are...

---JIC Bullet (stainless and titanium)
---Mugen Twin Loop (full stainless???)
---Tanabe Ultra Racing Medallion (stainless and titanium)

Thanks again for all of your help!

First of all, I think you meant to say H22A Accord R. That is one nice stock motor. It is almost identical to the h22 type-s motor...

Anyway, the mugen twin loop is super silent and very good exhaust... The tanabe is louder... I have nore heard a JIC... Get something you like...

Are you doing the swap yourself? It is by no means an easy swap...

 

1. Get a muffler that can add a silencer

2. Get any muffler you choose and add an additional resonator

and make sure your piping isn't too big

 

actually Nikos the accord does have an h23a VTEC. but it varies in hp, from 200-225 thats what im ordering for my lude. they haul a$$

 

nope your wrong...he is ordering the uber rare H23A DOHC VTEC motor.

 

I am running a 2.25" exhaust all the way back with an N1 canister and a GSR cat(need to pass emissions and never removed). The exhaust is VERY loud but not like a can of angry bees like a D-series with an identical set up. It is LOUD but deep and solid sounding. It does get a little high pitched at full throttle and high RPM's.

Probably does not help but oh well
