i think its a bad idea. the muffler will sound like sheit within a month, and the 3" piping is way too big for your car .

^ +1 on all of that, 2.25" or at the most 2.5" is what you're gonna wanna run on an N/A civic, and ebay/generic exhaust systems will sound like [:'(]

that pipinggg is wayyy to big, 3' piping is for turbo applications, running n/a u dont wanna over due it, might even feel a loss in power, go with 2.25' piping, if u dont wanna spend to much $$, go with the megan racing catback, it sounds pretty good and comes in the proper size piping for ur car

buy the exhaust then. you'll regret putting on the exhaust right now when you're actually driving. you'll definitely notice the loss in low end power

+1, and the sound of the ebay exhaust system will be bad, even once you're boosted it wont sound the best.

I say save up and get a Megan Drift Spec catback. Forty04 had that on his d16y8 both when it was N/A and when it was boosted and he said it worked well for both. Plus Megan isn't ridiuclously expensive

That exhaust is 2.25........at least I think it is.....it says "3 inches" but then 2.25 piping something.........Its going sound like ***, but so does every exhaust. Unless youre running forced induction dont get exhaust, it is so loud and annoying, and the whole 2whp you get from itis hardly worth the money. You want an exhaust that sounds good? Get the RSR Ex Mag. But be prepared to pay. You get what you pay for, and you gotta pay to play.
