Honda Integra DC5

[MB140]

Evening guys. My Mrs has just won a DC5 on Dreamcar Giveaways which we picked up today. We live in the Notts/Lincoln area and we’re looking for recommendations for someone to look after it. Who are people using for work on there DC5.

Unfortunately it’s been de-catted and a straight through 3” exhaust fitted. It’s far too loud and the drone is so bad I had to stop on the way home to try and find ear plugs (resulted in tissue in the end). So I’m looking for an OEM cat or suggestions for a sports cat (eml is also on).

It also has bilstein coilovers on it. I’ve yet to see if there adjustable but if not then with UK roads it’s going to need a softer setup on it. Again anybody got only suggestions.

All DC5 are JDM

Great looking car. The exhaust is easily solved but going OEM or for a much quieter aftermarket, strange that someone has fitted a 3” to an NA car (each to their own I suppose!)

Nice of them to give you a car with an EML on too, you’d think that would be sorted!!

Yeah the exhaust is just way too loud. I imagine a cat and maybe a mid-pipe silencer might work with the rest straight through.

As for the eml I thought it was a bit of a let down, bit cheep skate of them not to fix it before handover. It had the eml light on when they bought it as I found the previous owner through the eBay add. I know it’s a free car and all that but it’s clearly had a dodgy mot done on it.

Anyway no more complaining. From now on it’s solutions being documented.

Somehow I have ended up with two threads going on about this. One in readers cars and one in the Honda section. To tidy it all up here’s a link to the readers cars thread. All updates will be in that thread.
