CTR rear muffler same as USDM

[gotmean03]

Just wondering if they are the same, they look alike in all the pictures I've seen. Thanks for the help

[SiR_d1]

yes I believe they are but I could be wrong

[icegrill]

Would like to know as well??

i think not (THINK) because the SPOON n-1 axel back has to have a custom midpipe to fit the USDM ep.. so im guessing that the JDM ep would have a slightly different exhaust system. i have absolutly nothing to back this theory up.. just using my limited reasoning..

Spoon n1 axle back is direct bolt on to usdm ep3.

also i think the difference in bpipe is due to the different headers off the other k motors the ctr features.. pretty sure the jdm and usdm spoon n1's are similar if not the same.

i knew i was probably wrong, just took a stab in the dark, cuz i remember a bunch of people with the spoon n-1 sayin something about that type B racing mid pipe, or w.e :'( o well im an idiot

Usually anything that has CTR written on it......like our factory rear section does.......it is a CTR piece.

the muffler tips look different.....they are machinced aluminum duel pieces like the RSX-S single ones....ours are just stainless steel brushed tips...;)

they look the same....

Sheesh, that CTR one looks a LOT like the USDM Si's muffler & pipe.

And where's that post showing a dyno comparison between a stock Si's exhaust and a test pipe, and how there wasn't any difference worth mentioning?

LMAO looks like a Garbage can, next to something all shiney.:D

the rear sections are the same, it's the b-pipe that's different on a USDM, that's because our we are burdened w/a close coupled cat right up against the header

thats not a type-r muffler.......type-r mufflers look like a twin outlet Type-s muffler....ours has the stainless steel tips, while the CTR has the brushed alumium tips....
