Tuning 1997 1.4 Honda Civic Hatchback

[blacklineninja]

I'm wanting an exhaust for my Honda Civic. I've got the look sorted with body styling parts bought over from the USA, and so i'm wanting an American exhaust to match. I've found an AEM induction kit that fits, but exhausts are much thinner on the ground. I'm wanting the best possible power/torque gain, so would I be best fitting the Magnaflow cat-back system, or getting a DC Sports back box and then getting Powerflow or somebody to create a custom system that integrates it?

Thanks guys

Getting a custom build take a great deal of specialist knowledge both of exhaust systems and of Civic engines, but joining 2 systems should work fairly well - remember cones work best for airflow when joining 2 different diameter pipes.

Due to the size of the engine (guessing 1.6-1.8) you need to make sure the main pipe stays under 2 inches otherwise you will lose some torque - The backbox can go up to 3 inches though but 2.5 would be about the best choice!
