    B pipe rattle driving me nuts!

    Hello all, I've got an unsilenced B pipe on my EP3, not sure of the brand as it was on the car when I bought it, never had any problems with it until now.

    Custom exhaust - something to think about...

I've come away with more questions than answers. I have a slot booked in on the 24 of April, which was the first one I could get, and only because...

This is because one of the bolts that holds the two together has rusted and sheared off, causing the cat to drop a little and a gap to open that the exhaust...

    Rattle / whirring noise under acceleration

    Hey guys, I've got a 2005 EP3 Civic Type R. A few times in the past few weeks it has made a bit of a whirring, mild scraping noise under wider throttle openings in second in third gear (typically between 3000-3500 that goes away once the engine is starting to get into the power band). Once the...

    EP3 exhaust sounding pretty fruity!

    Hey guys, I've got a 2005 EP3, with the standard exhaust on it, for now at least. All is well, bar one strange thing that perplexes me; when the exhaust is cold, for the first minute or so of driving, it has an incredible, raspy tone, that becomes most present between 2500-3500rpm, tailing off...
