Del Sol: Need Opinions; suggestions on parts/brands.

[VTEC95EG2]

Here are some parts that Im looking to get....

Exhaust: I want something that looks kind of like this, and is around this same price, if you know of something better please let me know, I do not want a loud obnoxious fart can sticking out of the ass of the car.
Tanabe? if Tanabe is no good...please suggest.

CAI: Suggestion Needed
ASR Subframe Brace
Beaks Lower Tie Bar
LCA's: Suggestion Needed
GC Coilovers
Koni Yellows
Header: Initially wanted a comptech header but I haven't been able to find any, I think they may be discontinued...therefore looking at the Polished 4-1 DC....suggestion needed.

Im going to need a camber kit as well, wanting suggestions on that too... I dont know anything about suspension so please when you talk to me about suspension, imagine that I look like this :dumb:

Thanks for your help in advance.

WSII is a great system, a little softer than the Tanabe. I have dual WSII on my TL-S and plan on a WSII on the Integra.

Just keep in mind, an oval canister will have a more subdued tone, the round canisters tend to be louder.

World Sport II and the Tanabe both sound amazing. I loved all my World Sport II cat backs and would buy it again if I had something to put it on.

Personally, I've never been a DC Sports fan... But that is me.

Thanks... that's what I was thinking about the shape.

I am honestly looking for other options for a header, if anyone has any suggestions, they are def welcome....I would like to stay away from DC.

thanks for your input.

You're going to get a lot of different suggestions here but this is my opinion based on experience.

Intake: If the car is a daily driver, I wouldn't suggest a cold air intake. There is too much of a risk of hydro-locking the engine. Using a generic 3" short ram intake pipe from any eBay seller matched with a 3" BPI Velocity Stack has produced very good results over the stock and almost all aftermarket intake setups. BLOX also make a cheaper Velocity Stack setup as well.

Exhaust Manifold: I usually suggest the Kidd Racing Narrow B-Series Header but it looks like they're no longer around anymore. I would try finding a used one. For the price, you can't beat the gains that header produced.

Exhaust: I've never heard anything bad about the Tanabe exhausts. The one you're looking at appears to be very similar to the A'PEXi WS2, which sounds very good on a B-Series VTEC engine. Just make sure to keep your catalytic converter to keep the rasp to a minimum.

Suspension: If you're not wanting to go too low, the Koni and GC setup is very nice. Extended Top Hats are a must with that setup. I would suggest looking into the Function and Form or PIC coilovers before pulling the trigger on the Koni/GC setup to see what will work best for you.

Only get the ASR brace if you plan on upgrading to a larger rear sway bar, otherwise you're just throwing money way. And if you're going to upgrade to a larger RSB, don't bother with the Beaks tie bar. The rear subframe is already reinforced by the ASR brace, so there's no need to add another brace. It's just for looks at that point.

The Skunk2 and Function7 LCA's are two of the best control arms on the market in my opinion. Don't use the BLOX LCA's. The bushings tear out very quickly.

Depending on how low the car is, you're probably not going to need a camber kit. Get the car aligned first. If camber is within -2.0* all around and matches on each side of the front and rear axle within a few tenths of a degree, don't bother getting one.
