Injen Super SES Catback Exhaust - My Take (with video)

[Slickone]

There never was an axle back. The Injen exhaust is a full Cat-Back.

Didn't think so. Look at www.civicx.com

That would be the site's admin making a mistake lol

I order qty 2 Flowmaster DBX mufflers and their tips for a quad tip look. Hopefully i get them next week. All the parts are stainless and the muffler can be polished if desire. Which i think i will do.

Sounds good if that's what you're into. Just seems like a large chunk of coin for some noise enhancements. Maybe honda made it super restrictive, but as of the last 5 years or so, there's very little performance gains on cat-backs on turbo motors. Most power is going to be in the downpipe, which would allow you to have a civilized ride, more power, and a little bit more of a growl...but to each their own. If that's what you were looking for, then it sounds pretty decent!

It's not just for noise, but for the appearance of an actual exhaust tip.

Shame that it isn't dual. I can't stand asymmetry.

Putting a dual exhaust on a car like this is really a Form>Function way of thinking. Absolutely dead weight and/or cosmetic only.

Edit* Unless your function is to make it super quiet...then two mufflers makes sense lol

I'd put them in parallel if the package space was there.

This man is correct.

I'm OK with a single tailpipe looks better on a car like this. Definitely wouldn't want four. But to each his own.

That's exactly the point. Not all of us have a penchant for Asian staple foods.

A dual exhaust with larger diameter will net better performance, while reducing the amount of noise gained.

I don't think it's possible for a dual exhaust to perform better than a single, in this case.

I just want a more growl noise, while keeping my 'dual' exhaust. I love the look of dual exhaust, and had no idea the Gen10 had it until I looked under the car the other day. I made very unmanly noises when I saw it. Does anyone plan on making a dual exhaust catback for our cars?

Running a single pipe from the engine to the muffler, then splitting the pipe behind the rear bumper doesn't accomplish a dang thing.

The vast majority of cars you see with two tailpipes out back have what I’d call “faux dual exhaust.” That does nothing to improve the car’s performance. It improves the car’s appearance, but it doesn’t make the car go any faster.

Ray: So it does work. But very few cars actually do it. More often, what you see are fake dual exhausts. There's actually a single exhaust pipe running from the engine to the muffler, and then the pipe is split, sending one tailpipe to each side of the car. That's just for looks.
Tom: Then there's the really cheap version, where the single exhaust pipe goes within inches of the rear bumper, then splits into two exhaust tips at the very end. Neither of those systems will affect performance. But I agree with you — they do enhance the look of a car and make it look more expensive.

doesn't sound as bad as i first thought and as bad as I thought their first video sounded.
