first off im not gonna talk shit about fixing up a single cam non vtec in a four door but if you must i would get the catback from nopi (#1)cause it is actually made by skunk2 with a nopi badge and it sounds really good but you should think about switching to a singe vtec and build on that first. g/l i love four doors especially that body style

Ive got the Nopi N1 catback. Doesn't sound any different than the Apexi, but that may have something to do with having a full exhaust.

I say just get the header/downpipe package from ebay (its on there somewhere) then get a different catback.

[singhondeck]

if i get the header..approx how much should it be for it to not give out l8r on...

[Drummerboy]

PM Tdurr and ask him how Roche's Header is holding up. He had them on his civic for a long time, probably still does.

From what I can tell, they arnt prone to "give out", just get a bad rep because its from ebay. But screw those people and their money to burn.
Im buying an ebay restrut bar and Aluminum radiator soon.

[singhondeck]

haha wordd..i bought a ebay strut bar..things nic n strong..and a obx header for my altima...it runs real nice

[hondaxpurt]

Well, the thing I would suggest would be get a y8 head, swap it onto the y7 block, run your wires for vtec and change the ecu. Would not cost too much and would be the biggest performance upgrade for your money

[SKUNK2GUY]

you can get the stuff from nopis website or theres stores all over the place.

That is a *very* good reason...

you can buy my d16y8 head, get a manifold and ecu and a little wiring then you would have vtec. i'm selling the head, vtec solnoid and valve cover for $100. ecu can be found for $50 or less, and a manifold can be found at a good price depending on the person. then get a header, intake(short ram i think) and a GOOD exhaust. i have had an apex N! and a greddy evo2 on my si an i love the greddy sound, and so do a lot of other people. it does not sound like a pissed off bumble bee. i gutted the cat today so it got a little louder but hell i can prob get a vid up for you tomorrow. remember you get what you pay for but i would seriously consider putting a vtec head on that puppy then mod it.
