Some of you may know me as Wide Mouth Lude. I have registered this new name to fit my new car. Since my 93 VTEC Lude got totalled I have replaced it with a 96 Integra LS Special Edition. I am just introducing myself to all of you on the Integra forum. I look forward to learning from all of you about the Teg cause I've had a Lude all my life. now its time to learn about something different

 

Oh yeah...maybee I should give you some background.

1st car: 1992 Honda Prelude Si.

Mods: AEM cai, custom 2.5 inch catback w/Power1 muffler, 17" ADR Sucudos in Gunmetal with Polished lip

2nd car: 1993 Honda Prelude VTEC
Mods: AEM cai, and the 17's, had springs but didnt get them installed cause it got totaled (damn beotch in the Sante Fe)

Present Car: 1996 Acura Integra LS Special Edition

Mods yet: H&R Race springs, 17's, Gabriel struts.

Planned Mods: Shaved emblems, carbon fiber hood, body kit, AEM cai and Thermal Exhaust. If it lasts till i can buy a newer car I will go FI. Not sure if I want Turbo or SC yet though.

 

Good luck with the new car. Turbo that biotch you wont be disappointed.

 

Have fun, but IMO I'd look at a different exhaust than a thermal...

 

:af:

 

best of luck with the new car. I think you will enjoy it

 

What exhaust would you recommend? i am looking for something that will provide adequate power gains with minimal increase in exhaust noise. My neighbors really hated the exhaust on my Lude.

 

Then you really, really don't want a thermal....

Apex'i World Sport or a RS*R ex mag II would help you there... those are the best stock-like catbacks available

 

Hehe for some reason i thought that the thermal was quiet. Anyway....any exhaust that has a silencer option will suit me fine. So if the Thermal can have a silencer I'm all for that. I do like Apexi and Greddy exhausts too. i think its gonna come down to which ones gonna have a silencer and which one is the least expensive since all three companies are very reputable.

 

The thermal stealth is pretty quiet, my friend has one on his GTI and you can barely hear it at higher RPM's

On my other friends Prelude VTEC(nice cars) he has a thermal classic, it is not that quiet, but sounds real nice and deep.
