Strength:
- LOOKS! - NOISE/SOUND!!
Weakness:
- BAD FIT - PRICE I have the DC Sports Twin Cannister Cat Back System and I gotta say it''s pretty nice. In terms of looks: it''s top notch. The stainless steel construction and the design of the twin cannisters are unique and eye catching. Just a few days after getting it, some people on the road while stopped at a traffic light complimented on how great it looked and he said he had one on order for his SiR too. In terms of noise/sound: awesome low tone to it. Not loud at all at idle but when you take off, it sounds real nice, real racy. Overall it''s not that loud, in the beginning, I say that because after you''ve driven a while, it tends to get louder. Install an aftermarket intake and combined with this exhaust, when you''re flooring the car and it hits VTEC, wow!!! it''s SCREAMSSS out at you. One problem I have with the noise is that during winter whenever there''s a lot of snow on the road (especially when changing lanes), it gets significantly louder. In terms of fit: Was very disappointed with this. You''d expect DC Sports would have it absolutely perfect and it''s not a cheap exhaust either. When I got it and it was installed, it didn''t fit properly, different rubber clamps as well as metal clamps had to be used to "adjust" it so that the pipe would fit. Without the adjustments the pipe would rattle against the chassis and the tailpipe would rattle against the skirt. Overall: The bad fitting problems were quickly overcome, although not perfect, I think the strengths far outweight the weaknesses. As for price, if you''re gonna get a cat-back system, it''s gonna cost you more than just a muffler so can''t complain too much there. It really looks and sounds great. I would recommend it. If you want to see how it looks like, email me and I''ll email you a couple of pics. Similar Products Used: N/A |

1996 Integra RS
Strength:
Excellent fit and finish (although mine broke.)
Weakness:
B-Pipe snapped after 3 weeks. A friend, an experienced TIG welder who works for the defense department said that the weld was heated too much. I was absolutely fascinated when the system arrived. Installation was very straight forward, and the fit was excellent. Now on to the rest of the story... Similar Products Used: Stock. |

1999 Honda Prelude
Strength:
- Top quality finish
Weakness:
- Pretty pricey I think DC Sports screwed welding the hanger on the muffler because it touches my rear skirt. Of course once the car warms up (exhaust too), it doesn't touch the skirt anymore since the rubber hanger most likely expanded with the heat. Either way I'm on the look out for a longer rubber hanger. Also did research before I bought it and people say this is a very quiet exhaust...NOT. The interior noise gave me a headache when I first installed it but not it's either getting alittle quieter or I'm getting use to it...your call. Of course the exhaust isn't broken in yet so the tone is gonna change. Similar Products Used: Stock |

GREAT sound, and rumble when I let off on the gas. Louder then my last system, but what a great tone. Total head turner!
Weakness:
none so far I am running the DC Sports DAC intake with their SS headers and catback system. This is the way to go. Power and a great sound. It can't be beat. Similar Products Used: MOMO corse catback was much quieter. |
