Obx header and racingbeat catback.

The little rubber thingie was set to the max. The exhaust tip is not touching the bumper at all but yet it still has major vibrations...?

 

[stivine6]

It's loud with that combo? Probably the headers I heard the racing beat one is pretty quiet?

Hmm you should probably get out of the car while its on and see where the vibration is coming from, if the tip isn't touching the lip it's something else.

 

[CiviCity]

Depends on what ur definition of loud is. But yes it is pretty loud. The racingbeat is "quiet" compared to some other brands like the 3" magnaflow, but i wasnt looking for the ricer civic kind of loud xD

Yeah the tip is like .5cm from the bumper. I gotta figure it out lols. Maybe get stiffer hangers or whatever they are called.

 

[stivine6]

Wonder how it compares in terms of noise with my HKS axleback.. D:

You should get someone to put the car into drive and step on the brakes while you stand behind and see of the exhaust is touching the lip, because when you put it into drive it does vibrate more the rpms go up a bit. That's the only thing I can think of D: happened to me twice

 

[CiviCity]

Haha i would be curious also
Come visit me and we will see!

And yeah that is actually a great idea. Cause the rattling is when im on D and im stopped. How did u fix urs?

haha that would be sick

I brought mine to a shop and they bent down exhaust a little bit from the hangers with a torch, worked perfectly. The exhaust has movement depending on your rpm so i'm betting thats why its vibrating so double check!

 

[CiviCity]

Umm yeah thats a good idea. Ill have to go get it checked out then.
Thanks!

Nice I have the same header. Going to mate it with a Corksport exhaust and high flow cat.

That sounds pretty good. I cant wait to see how it sounds.

I Was driving around 140km/h today and holy s*** that thing was loud. My gf was complaining that she couldnt hear me nor the music haha

Put some sound deadener on your floorboards man, it'll make a world of difference.

 

[CiviCity]

I was thinking about that. Itll have to wait until i get my seat brackets.

 

[CiviCity]

Got some stuff done today. Dipped the roof, changed the oil and the prestone. Also did the evil M up front. More to come

 

[mazdaprotegeES]

Hella Clean Bro!

 

[CiviCity]

MORE PLASTIDIP

 

[ffocused.]

Wasn't expecting to like the plastidip hood and roof but you pull it off well!

I'd just like to see the lip, skirts, and wing color matched.

 

[CiviCity]

Haha thanks buddy!

And yeah, its on my todo list for next summer. Itll be a good 5-600$ worth of paint job.

 

[CiviCity]

Quick update. Just made my own custom eyelids with plastidip . It gives a meaner look to the car and it was basically free.

 

[CiviCity]

My last plastidip work on this car

 

[Berto24]
