rb midpipe

i'll be replacing my stock cats w/ a rb midpipe sometime this week (when it gets a little nicer out).

my question is, what is the likelyhood that i'd be able to shoot flames out the tailpipe? i wanna be able to pop a little flash at any civics i happen to beat up on.

what about with a rb header?

I thought you needed a straight pipe for that.

Thumbs up the pipe

i have the same pipe and i love it!!! it definitely increases the noise level and increases performance greatly.
no flames. but backfires. backfires are funny things, sometimes they can be annoying and others they are fun. try this, whenever you are racing a someone, as you are passing them let off a huge backfire when your tail-end gets to his driver window. he will be scared shitless!!!! ahhahahaha, it's fun.
it is a easy install, just make sure you keep your exhaust hangers.

I'm probably getting a header. Is a race pipe a good economical alternative? If the difference in power is small I'll go with cheap.

Thumbs up ummm...

i would go with the pipe before headers. over time the cats can get really messed up and they don't flow crap. pipe first, then headers.

I think that would be a waste of money since the pipe probably won't work with a header.

Thumbs down que??

que??
well, if he bought the cat replacement pipe from Racing Beat, it will directly bolt up the header (collected) that Racing Beat sells also. that is the best way to do it, i think.
