I used the Meyle HD ones when I installed my JDM rear ARB. They are a lot better than the OEM ones.

I bought my silenced M2 centre section from eBay. Has been great to be honest. Not too loud with my standard back box. I would check if the one you are looking at is the silenced or unsilenced version. If it's the latter it will be very loud - I'd recommend the silenced even though it's more...

I have an M2 silenced centre section with a standard back box and I think it sounds great. Reasonably quiet when cruising but gives a nice sound when accelerating hard and using VTEC. Thinking of adding a Spoon N1 back box but I think it'd be too loud for my liking.

Hondata or Gruppe M/Tegiwa. The end.

It will fit on but you would need to ideally have it mapped at the same time. You can get gains in other ways by doing other mods for example improving flow by getting a new B-Pipe. The second hand catalytic converter may be a gamble but you'll not know until it's fitted and MOT tested.

Just a word of warning, when I changed my top pulley the crank pulley was on its last legs too. Would be worth inspecting that whilst it's all apart. It was a Honda only part and they don't keep it in normal stock. Cost me about £100 iirc

They will do the job. The reason one is more expensive than the other is because it comes with bearings where the cheaper set doesn't. Get the set with bearings, but get them direct from their website http://www.importcarparts.co.uk/parts-info?id=11719&cat=0&sub=0&sec=0&var=0&dc=&gen=

Go genuine where possible but you can get generic replacements that will work just fine. Have a search on Google.

I also have this combo and it sounds great without being too loud.

Yes, it's a bit louder but not OTT. Sounds great going through the Rev range and doesn't drone at all on the motorway at 70mph. It's a good balance I think, louder than stock but nowhere near the noise you get from an unsilenced centre section. It definitely feels less flat between 2-4.5k and...

Fitted my M2 silenced centre section this evening. Fitted brilliantly. Great quality on the welding and the pipe work itself.

Nice one, I was watching this one with anticipation. Another job on the to-do list ;)

It was noisy most of the time, but more so at 2-3k RPM. Belt was still tight on mine, but replaced it at the same time as the pulleys. Spray a bit of silicone grease on the idler pulley bearing and the belt itself. If it silences it, you know it's the idler pulley. If you need it, Euro Car Parts...

I recently had a squeal on my EP3. It was the Idler pulley (as you look at the engine, it's the top pulley on the aux belt - left hand side of the engine bay). Whilst it was off it was noted the crank pulley was falling apart. Idler pulley is easy to get hold of - I got mine from Tegiwa at £37...

0w oils are fine, but the consensus is that they are a little thin. They will get to temp quicker but you might find the engine will burn through it quicker. As I posted earlier, I'm using Castrol Edge 5w40 and it runs great. 5w30 will also be fine. Make sure you use a good quality, fully...

It's worth replacing the top pulley at the same time. I had to do the crank pulley too when I did mine - it was falling apart!

Yes, this oil is fine to use. Just pick the correct grade. You can get it in 5w40. It's on offer at Opie Oils at the moment too.

These K20 engines do whine a little, it's normal. Heat shields can be a bit noisy too and most people just remove them.

I'm using Castrol Edge 5w40. Runs great on it. Not sure what was in there before, probably 0w30 which is a little thin IMO.

To be honest, any 4-2-1, decat, aftermarket catback is going to be noisy.

I assume you've already ordered plugs, but if you haven't, Cox's on here sell the OEM items. I'm running them and as expected all is good.

Good work on the exhaust trims. Did you use NXT All Metal? I'm a fan of Autosol metal polish myself.

My drivers side arm rest (on the door) is a little saggy - I think it's come off it's mounting slightly. To be honest it's not bothered me enough to take it all apart. The glovebox lid on the other hand. Driving me insane. Just turn up the radio a little!
