WHat's your opinion on DC sport exhausts? For a 96-00 civic cpe.

How do they sound? ANything I should watch out for when buying a used exhaust?

 

dc sports exhausts are really well made, most have robotic tig welds. the ss is really thick, as are the flanges. i cant vouch for the sound tho. ive only seen it, but havent heard it.

make sure the exhaust doesnt have too many scratches or hole. and make sure it fits ur car i bought dc, but it didnt fit my car... so i sold it and made $25

 

what does scratches do to the exhast? looks?

 

THe exhaust is pretty well used... The owner says that the resonator needs to be tig welded cuz theres a rattle, its got quite a bit of battle damage on it (scraps and scratches but no huge bends or dents in the piping). I'm not planning to pay more then $60 for it, but it the deal does go through, I'll just fix the resonator and paint the entire exhaust a flat black with high temp paint.

What chu people think? I say its a pretty good deal on an entire cat-back and I get to paint it black which is something I've been wanting to do to the exhaust that I put on my car. (but wouldn't have the balls to do it the exhaust was purchased new for $250+.)


here's a pic of it.

 

i think i have heard that that particular model is loud,...but i heard that the twin canister is pretty quiet with a nice sound

 

I think there is the same question on another board about this.

I use the Twin can system and i can say its NOTHING like those loud bee hive sounding exhausts. Its very low tone, kinda like grumbles. I always get people asking me how i like it. I LOVE IT, almost makes my car sound mean =)

As for performance, I have no idea what it gave me since i never dyno'ed my ride. I might try to get to a dyno in a few weeks...want to do a cam and cam gear next.

 

ehh.... not worth it... its just someone's junk. if the resonator is broken inside, ur gonna have to weld in a new one.
