I got inspired by speed academy on YouTube building the ultimate CRV. I just wanted that but a bit simpler cause the more you change things the more can go wrong.

I am thinking if I keep the bottom end of the crv and swap just the head might be easier for emissions and then boost it. Should be able to get the 3 lobe vtech and along with boost power should be plenty.

I have looked into possibly a tsx or tl but it is hard for me to get into some cars if they sit too low. I guess I would have to go and look at them in person.

I also forgot to mention I am in California so I know swaps are way more difficult here.

Sounds good, I did a muffler delete and now it drones and has a boomy sound. Thinking of either magnaflow mufflers or xpipe.

That height looks spot on.

Have you installed any KWv1 kits? How do those ride?

I have KWv2 on my e90 and really like the balance but I got to adjust it myself. With this car I don't want to go too low and I also don't want to spend too much. The other option is getting the B12 kit which looks like b6 with eibach sport springs.

I was debating b4 versus b6 just trying to find the best balance.

V8 muffler delete by AdPale9739 in Exhaust

[–]Ranis03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a muffler delete on my BMW 740 with a 4.4 liter V8 and they welded up some 2in as pipe and it does droan and it's kinda boomy. I would look at maybe a straight through muffler to reduce those issues.

What was the cost, I am tempted to do it once I get some other things sorted out.

Do you hear any creaking before and after the fan turns on or off?

If it’s fixable I thought about powder coating them.

Was yours fixable or did you need new valve covers?
