i've only recently heard about hayame...are they any good?

Therapy · 08-15-2005, 10:43 AM

Thermal also has one for the CRX. I've had the RS*R for 1 year and love it. Running no cat which makes it a bit loud, but prior to removing the cat it had a very nice low tone if any.

Hayame, I saw on eBay so I put it in

Suck my DX · 08-15-2005, 10:51 AM

custom is the way to go!
but if i had to choose between premade systems i would go with the RS-R ex mag or the thermal cl

invidia sucks

well, the EF8 version does... EF9 invidia is sweeeeet, love that rear muffler

wallacecrx · 08-15-2005, 11:02 AM

i like thermal and RS*R. but i vote for thermal since i have it

CBURKE · 08-15-2005, 11:02 AM

Any pics of the RS-R?

Kaan · 08-15-2005, 11:06 AM

Custom weld and bend from a shop... nothing home made. propper 90 elbows run in the stock location... with a magnaflow with the "stock" look... but 2.5 inch... the bends keep some backpreasure... but if you run a D... you dont need backpreasure anyway...

SMZ GSR · 08-15-2005, 11:09 AM

RS*R and HKS

GReddy SP2 BABY!

itsF3NG · 08-15-2005, 11:16 AM

CaliforniaHighwayPatrol · 08-15-2005, 11:32 AM

xDicktonesx · 08-15-2005, 11:44 AM

you guys realize invidia rsr and s2 are made by the same people in the same building most likely.

yea, the ef8 invidia is so "pacesetter" looking. but the ef9 is sick. just bought one cant wait to get home from iraq and put it on

solorex · 08-15-2005, 11:56 AM

I would definitely have to say Scorpion. It has the looks of an HKS, better sound and it is full stainless from the cat-back. I picked one up last year REALLY like it, best exhaust I have had on the car.

CaliforniaHighwayPatrol · 08-15-2005, 12:47 PM

so has anyone tried Tsudo? saw it on eBay didn't look to bad

TH33G4MON3 · 08-15-2005, 12:47 PM

HKS or custom is the way to go

I don't know about that one. Heres what i found off rs*r's website.

"What is RS*R Invidia?
Invidia was a brand name that was offered by RS-R Japan during the mid 1990's. RS-R ceased offering the Invidia exhaust line in 1996. The Invidia brand name was later obtained by another independent company which has no relation to RS*R Japan or RS*R USA.

We would like to make it absolutely clear that RS-R Japan does not manufacture Invidia exhaust systems and RS-R USA does not distribute Invidia products."

So I don't think invidia is made by rs*r or viseversa. Also, do you have pics of the ef9 invidia?

Crap, total crap.
I have one and the pipes are not 2.5" as they claim, they are 2.2"
The welds on the hangers are way bad. I had two hangers come off the pipes and they took chunks of pipe along with them. They have the wrong set up at the rear flange where the axle back connects to the mid pipe. That joint should be a flex joint, and the rear section is set up for that, but the mid pipe is not set up for a flex joint so you end up with a weird joint that does not flex as it should.
Also that joint comes down to 1.7" diameter so what ever you gain wiht the 2.2" pipes gets thrown away at the 1.7" bottle neck at the rear joint.
Another thing, the muffler is way too big. If your car is lowered you are going to hit just about everything that sticks up from the road. I got sick and tired of that and replaced the muffler with another one. BTW, my car is only 1" lower than stock.
Buy it if you get it dirt cheap, otherwise save your money for something better.
You will end up wasting your money on a poorly designed and built exhaust that will have to be replaced in a short time.

THAT is hands down, the best looking exhaust ive ever seen on a CRX.

i was gonna say the HKS was the best looking.. but im really feeling the all stainless.. MAN, those tips look good..
