Looks nice. Using a Dremel on rusted bolts is a pain in the butt and takes forever. Die grinder's are much better, but you have to have an air compressor :).

Yeah, it was late and we had to work with what we had.. it did take forever to dremel through that bolt...


Thanks man, your MSP is by far my favorite and motivates me to keep working on mine haha... am looking for the 03.5 lip!
 
thanks bro. I'm going to take off the 03.5 wing sometime by the end of the summer, possibly earlier, but if you're interested lmk..
 
does your sp2 rattle alot? cause mine rattles like crazy even though i have katboy hangers

Nah, I am still using the stock exhaust hangers also... i just got my CS hangers but have had almost no rattles so far.
 
Whatever you do, hold on to those stock hangers. All four of my KBs shredded, rears first and then the fronts. CSs look exactly the same except for color. Makes me wonder why I changed the oem ones in the first place because they lasted longer so far and the SP2 does not rattle one bit. Enjoy that GRowl!
 
I had a GReddy SP2 on my Integra after the Skunk 2 racing exhaust proved to be loud enough to have the neighbors call the police and give me a citation for being too loud. Anyway, actually prefered the tone and volume of the SP2. Looked fantastic -- Looks fantastic on your car too!! Nice job!
 
I have the Greddy SP2 too but find it's still too loud even though it's suppose to be the quietest you can find for the MSP.
MSP2k3, you find it much louder than stock like I do?
Trying to figure out what else can be done to reduce the boomy sound.<SCRIPT type=text/javascript> vbmenu_register("postmenu_3978626", true); </SCRIPT>
 
Actually, I could barely tell a difference between my stock exhaust and the SP2... Its VERY quiet compared to others i have heard. I am still running the stock midpipe though, I have heard it makes it a bit louder with a aftermarket one. I kinda wish it was a bit louder. /shrug
 
Sp2 is what I am thinking of going with... My set up is gonna be a custom 2.5 or 3 in down pipe (j and s pipe) connecting into the sp2 (w/ high flow cat)
 
Looking good. I like seeing a black msps. I got the corksport exhaust and it rattles and is loud too. But you'll get use to it.
 
i ran the SP2 for a while, and to be honest... i hated it. it is almost stock quiet and it rattled way too much for my liking.

here is a video of my car with the greddy SP2 exhaust:

after a while, i ended up changing my exhaust setup but kept the SP2 resonator pipe. now my set up looks like: circuit sports 2.5" catless midpipe>greddy SP2 resonator>2.5" straight pipe exit. i don't run a muffler because the greddy resonator really quiets it down, but i still get a really nice tone.

here is a video of my current exhaust setup:

goodluck with yours!

Thanks guys, and i agree with you Justin.. it is almost stock quiet. Im hoping a new midpipe will make it a bit louder.
