Looks really nice, my friend had a 2001 Integra but it had the slow motor so I beat him by a car length or 2 with my old car 96 saturn sc2 then we put a turbo and intercooler on his and he beat me by about 1 car length lol. $17k car + 3k turbo kit beat my 3k car with just intake, bored tb and full exhaust by only one car length it was funny but those days are over.

Ya I find it funny to watch people drop soo much time and money into slow cars to get em up to maybe 200hp+.. if my 5600lb truck can run you down you should just stop..

Hmm.. I don't think you understand anything I have said.. You should know that I know this is a slow car and not trying to make it fast, at all. I am just replacing parts and getting her back to full health. I could care less how fast she goes. I like the fuel economy and the endurance of how long it will last me once she's back to great health. Will be decent getting loud substage wise when that time comes too.

Was commenting on the post above mine not you..

an exhaust is fine on that old of a car as the original probably is rusty and/or has holes already

besides the fact at 1900 as long as you don't put more than 3k down on it thats a great deal..

Oh ok, yeah the exhaust was pretty bad as far as rust and a couple exhaust leaks. The donut at the exhaust manifold was fried and cat was in bad shape as well.

Being that its a 95 you should be able to remove the cat with no issues. Should free up some power/MPG as well.

They make tons of header all the way back full bolt together really easy to install.

Yeah found full catback exhaust on Ebay for $111 shipped. I have already bought the cat it was $31 shipped. The cat back includes everything from the cat back, lol. Resonator, 2.5" stainless steel piping, all bolts, all exhaust gaskets, 4" muffler, optional muffler bolt on silencer.. Basically all bolt on exhaust including everything except the donut gasket between exhaust manifold and cat. All new bolt on exhaust for $142 shipped! Just got the new ignition coil today, it was just under $18 shipped with 18 month warranty. If that doesn't fix my problem, I did some research on clubintegra.com and got a lot of possibilities for fixing my problem, so I'm first trying the ignition coil, then next would be to try new ignition coil module, if still nothing then main relay is the next thing to try. I have a longer list of less common part problems that could also fix my cars dying problem, but those three things are the most common Integra random dying/having no spark fixes.

I will be so happy once it's resolved. I'm not too worried about it as long as it's nothing more than replacing a few of mentioned parts.

I had the same ignition problem with my Jetta, or at least I thought that was it. Now my car does the same thing recently >:l

there are plenty 350-400hp NA b16's

And also plenty of sub 200hp v8's

just because some one does something different then you doesn't give you a right to be snobby.

Finally fixed my dying problem. Was cured after the replacing of the ignition module. No more problems. So far the car now has new plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, air filter, oil filter, ignition coil, ignition module, main relay, oil changed, fuel system cleaned, and new complete stainless steel exhaust system. Hmm. Should be good to go now for a while.

How dose that exhaust system sound? Dose it have the typical round muffler?

I just got done installing a complete, SS exhaust on the wife's Cavi. Did it all in 2 1/4" with a 24" SS Magnaflow resonator and a 4"x9"x18" Magnaflow muffler.

There is ZERO rasp, even at high RPM's and internal resonance is near nothing. One of the best sounding 4cyl's I have heard. You actually do not even hear it at idle.

I had a friend who dropped a B18C into his integra and i think turbo'd it at like 5psi, and was making like 320hp, it was a fun little car, and fast for what it was
I doubt I'd ever do anything like that, I'm not into making imports fast, I'm really not into car engines at all, but it is cool what some people do with them.

bs no **** way a b18 is making 320 on 5psi unless its a completely built bottom and top

The exhaust does sound good (deep, strong [not tingy sounding], good transitional sound between shifts) and yes it is a typical round muffler. 2.5" stainless steel piping and muffler is 4" outlet.

Not to make fun of ricers, but srs question. Why do the exhaust outlets have to be so much bigger than the inlet?
