A few replies in one. Yes on the Walmart item (see attached). The factory bend is not friendly but these are so big I believe no pressure change or restriction.They look great. H did you get them to fit with the downturned factory tips?
I cannot detect sound delta, however, 22 years in the US Army may have affected that. Being an engineer, I drilled on extra hole on the bottom and rigged a bonus set point. The angle of the factory pipes is a challenge--They look great. Did they just screw on to the existing pipe or did you have to modify somehow? Definately something I would consider if Walmart Canada carries the same product. Turbo's should have come from the factory this way.
Do they change the sound at all?

Any way you could post a picture from the direct back of the car? I'd like to see how they sit relative to the bumper from the backside. Thanks!I will run around a few days and post results on any issues. Silly the touring did not get these standard.

Good point. I'd also be wary of backing up into some of those cement stoppers they have in parking lot spaces. Granted, we have backup cameras but it can be easy to forget you've lost a couple of inches of bumper clearance from those exhaust tips.Watch out for ground clearance going into our of the right type of driveway angle could result in them scraping the ground.
Yes, the new civic is low to start with. most curbs not friendly to front, rear or wheels. Fortunately, I park in the south 40 at work and in the garage at home--but you are correct about backing in and yikes. In the picture the one on pass side looks off center. It was not bolted on yet.Good point. I'd also be wary of backing up into some of those cement stoppers they have in parking lot spaces.

The version I purchased is such a large diameter that there is no decrease in flow area or restriction. So No cutting on my part. Ran well today and tips really do not get very hot. Still in trial mode.Did you stick the downward portion of the exhaust pipe inside the exhaust tip, or did you have to cut the downward portion off?
