no point in the decat unless your ecu is tuned to run without one. if not the hp gains are minimal.
 
congrats on the spoon n1 mate its a great exhaust,put your cat back in it i'll be more drivable round town as well, as said before the decat will only work if its mapped to run a decat ,what make of 4-1 manifold are you using ??,it should be fine anyway ,i have a full spoon n1 and a JDM dc sports 4-1 manifold ,with the cat left in on my ek9 and this works nicely

totally agree. :nice:

what brand of header are you running? this car comes with a 4-2-1 header by default, this design gives more gains in the lower RPMS, i think the torque loss with a 4-1 header will not be that much.
 
Its megan my mate got it for me when he was in the states..hav had no bother with it so far..did you notice much gains when you installed the N1 system..when i get a bit more cash i might get a 4-2-1??
 
Hmmmm i don't know if megan header is better than the oem honda header. If you buy a 4-2-1 header, try to buy the toda header, i've read that is the best header for the b16b

Hmmmmmm, can you please post a picture of your header? it doesn't matter if you put a internet picture, so we can compare them with the mugen, you will see they are VERY diffenent :nice:
 
i really don't trust megan header, i would recommend if you plan to change it, change it for a toda or a mugen header.

i recomend you try to inroporate a resonator into your existing exhuast piping instead of using one of those silencers that just go in at the tip.

you put that like half meter before the muffler, i had it that way on my mugen complete exaust :nice:
 
just for reference, i tried the spoon n1 bung for the tailpipe the same day i rolling roaded it without, the spoon n1 bung lost 8bhp.
