striaght line wise they are as fast as an ep without a supercharger...they aren't that fast, but the works kit makes it go a little faster, I've been in one before. It's definitely better in handling, but it should be since it's sooooo damn small and light. I wouldn't want one though

They are smaller but they do weigh 2700 lbs.

Also, a 2 1/4" mid-pipe with resonator will help free up the restrictive flow as well as keep it quiet.

A shorty header will also do the flow some justice.

Thanks, boogster. Is there a 2.25" midpipe a custom thing or is it available off-the-shelf from some manufacturer? If so, who? And what shorty header would you suggest?

I'm a total noob when it comes to Honda engines. This is my first and it's stock. :D

Me neither. They look aight but the trunk is a joke and the Cooper S suspension is rock-hard. No thanks.

I wouldn't mind an RX-8, though. ;)

like others have mentioned why dont you consider the icebox.

Yeah, I am considering the icebox. If I can do the airbox mod and get similar results, it's a whole lot cheaper, though...

I was just going from what a cooper S owner told me his car weighed, Maybe he meant gvwr.

NP...

You may want to call up a few vendors. Before I picked up the Neuspeed, I had a vendor that was going to split up an HP exhaust system and sell me just the 2 1/4" mandrel midpipe. Be aware that you may have to have the mid pipe flange cut and rewelded in order to match up with the OEM flange.

As far as a shorty, I love my cheesy HP and it was cheap as hell :).

there's a company that just makes a midpipe t1r and another company for much cheaper, can't remember the last one, something like mufflertech or some shit

An intake isn't really loud at all with a JRSC, atleast that's how it was on my old civic. The JRSC blocks resonance from the head. I never had the stock intake with the JRSC, but the sc whine with a shortram was slightly louder then sc with cai.

For experience you need to have an intake. I said need, because you won't see a huge different with the JR and stock box (my setup is Magna, SC and stock OEM box). The guy that did my SC installed has all kinds of crazy mods (JR, intake, exhaust etc) on his car and there is a night and day difference.

Good point; I didn't think of that.

Yeah, I'm getting that an intake makes a bigger difference with an SC than on a stock engine. Did the guy that did your install say anything about what gave him the most gains?

Let me see if I remember the list:

JR
Nology wires
Injen CAI
Ground wire kit
Thermal
Header
Iridium plugs
some other electrical little box (can't remember the name)

and he's making 190 something at wheels

I only have
JR
Magnaflow
K&N drop-in filter
ATS Lite comp wheels
Wilwood
Iridium plugs
Mugen suspen including the alu arms
and carbon wing gives me 2hp
:D I don't know the HP to the wheels though
