I had the same problem and I just resoldered some joints on the main relay.

wtf if some pizza guy came up to my house in an uncorcked 4 cyclinder which sounds like complete *** i would slap him and def not give a tip

 

LOL.Im with strike!!

 

i would take the pizza and not pay b/c u raped a crx so bad.. j/k thats pretty lame though.. a good exhaust system can be made for under $150

 

Hey, its all about HP. If it sounds like crap but gave him 20 extra ponies, I say more power to him.

 

20 extra yeah right, 2 extra and -5 ft-lbs of tourqe

 

If its only 2HP extra how come all of the racers in IDRC use the same type of exhaust...well front wheel drive that is.

I think if no exhaust were a problem, then all of the serious 11 and 10 second cars would have full Greddy exhaust with cat.
