    No it will definitely be the centre pipe too, it's a decent system for the ep3.

    sportex b pipe

    Hks hi power is a cat back system and you cant fit any other centre pipe to the back box due to the bends in the b pipe, even if you could fit the sportex b pipe you would be down grading the exhaust . Hks already has a performance centre pipe so there is no need for the sportex

    What is the best manifold besides toda cos that is to expensive, I have got a tegiwa induction kit,supersprint unsilenced b pipe and a spoon n1 backbox will it be alot louder with a mani n decat ? Cheers
  55. josh sparkes

    Change backbox to spoon n1 or keep standard?

    Are you joking? Lol I dont know if I could take much more noise, but I want it for the performance gains . Because the manifold is the most restrictive bit of the exhaust aint it ?

    I know that the best b pipe is the spoon but its expensive, the supersprint has got good reviews on here more people use it compared to the scorpion
  66. josh sparkes

    Want a new exhaust soon but not $$$$

    Go on youtube and search type r ep3 supersprint unsilenced b pipe and listen to it, in my opinion it gives a better note than the sportex even *** the sportex is good value for money.

And rear aswell...
  68. josh sparkes

    Want a new exhaust soon but not $$$$

    Yes it might also be a bigger bore 2.5" the supersprint is and it is stainless steel so will not rust
  69. josh sparkes

    K+N Typhoon

    Get the tegiwa cant knock it cheaper than the gruppe m and does the same job, you will love the sound when vtec kicks in !
  70. josh sparkes

    Want a new exhaust soon but not $$$$

    Get a supersprint unsilenced b pipe , you wont be dissapointed with the sound and quality. Sportex are ok but wont last aslong as the pipe is not stainless steel like the supersprint

    whole scuttle pannel is loose any ideas ?

    Yes I know enjoy it so much more because it doesn't rattle beforehand lol it was really annoying me
  91. josh sparkes

    whole scuttle pannel is loose any ideas ?

    Yes I have found the problem , it was the fact the scoop hAd been fixed to the scuttle panel with 2 screws so the whole lot was moving and hitting against eachother instead of only the intake moving, took two screws out and now all is good no rattles or vibrations :D
  92. josh sparkes

    Spoon n1 rep

    You would be better off getting a unsilenced supersprint b pipe and leaving the standard back box, as the centre pipe is the most restrictive not the back box that is good for 300bhp
  93. josh sparkes

    whole scuttle pannel is loose any ideas ?

    Yes I have the silicon tegiwa intake hose and breather hose, the scuttle seems to be the problem so I will try your idea tonight thanks
