Wow this thread spiralled.

Back on topic, have bought it and have owned it for the past week. Loving it. Thanks for the comments guys! Always in the back of my mind that unless you buy new (which doesnt get away from potential problems, just have warranty) theres always an element of risk. I now intend to service it properly to reduce that risk since last week anyway...

hey mayyt, me and my mate went and saw a few BL5s today. how is ur rumble? i noticed that in these its pretty much GONE!!!! its like the hairy chested man has been shaved hahaha

even with a 2.5inch exhaust all the way

im guessing because they new bl/bp are using equal length headers from factory?

[Guest]

correct

[Guest]

ya i know. heard they are better for performance but dont give you the rumble...

[Guest]

any way of getting the rumble back? aftermarket headers?

[Guest]

they are heavily muffled but even freeing up the system without fitting unequal headers = vtec civic YUK !

from my knowledge the equal length headers came out from V7 STIs. so, would version 6 headers fit the BL5?

u mean V7 still has unequal headers? would they fit the BL5?

[funkytown]

hmmmm anyone wanna be a test dummy hahaha

[Drunkenmonkey]

BP is twin scroll

V7 is single scroll (so wont mate to turbo properly)

[Guest]

CRAP!!!!! i guess it just wasnt meant to be

[Drunkenmonkey]

get V8 sti headers they will work but prob the same,

yea thats wat i was thinking. That they wud be the same and pointless to change. By the looks of things u wud have to go to the earths end just to get the rumble. Custom made headers?

Wud they work?

[Drunkenmonkey]

ah i see you want the rumble what you will want is a custom up pipe that goes on Single scroll headers and goes to Twin scroll turbo, seen a few floating around
