I'd leave it stock. The car will feel a lot slower with a catback if you have a 5sfe. You will lose a ton of torque.

I think the megan drift spec will look great on any civic you put it on.

he's saying the drift spec has a ricey look, being angled like that (IIRC from previous post about it) and suggesting going with OBX

Get what you like but remember if you blow all your money on a fart cannon you will not have enough for mad rimz. Then again I guess you could just do 2 at a time and save for the aluminum wing in between.

Go for it. The car is your and I do understand, I went to school with a lot of kids who liked fart cannons and did not know that collars could be put down or hats can protect your eyes from the sun.

But in all seriousness the megan catback at 2.5 inch will probably be a bit much for a stock or close to stock 5sfe. Get it done custom in 2.25

thats what ive been trying to figure out what size also, i know the megan is 2.5 that might be a little big for awhile, eventually im going to do headers, injen intake, throttle body spacer, and maybe velocity stack with bigger filter and a tune at the local shop... idk if you guys know the guy on TN who had a 700+ whp 5sfe mr2 but ive been talking to him about stuff because he lives in my town.

With all those mods you mentioned I would stick with 2.25
