On my rs,I have 2 1/4" piping(larger than stock, but not so large as to remove all backpressure and kill the low end torque)......My friend also has a 2.5RS (Same year) and he has 3" piping......he told me that he lost power....I would go for the 2 1/4"........Not the 3".......I had my piping done at Exhaust Systems Hawaii in Kaneohe.....Check this site out http://www.powerlabs.org/car.htm this guy wrote in detail on how he modded his 2.5rs exhaust system.....hope this helps

^^^ I agree, I was (and still am) huge in N/A power and I'd say don't go to big. If you were talking about turbo it's a different story but in your case I'd try and keep some back-pressure. Before I had a turbo on my Prelude I went with a 2 1/2 DC Sports exhaust and it ran pretty well. My brother's got an N/A S2K and he went with the TODA exhaust that I'm pretty sure is 2 1/2. Apparently getting above that in N.A is pushing the limits.

You can weld your stock resonator on....but its up to you......some people like strait piping.But,If your planning on upgrading your headers in the future.......just spring an extra $50-$75 for a new high flow resonator to be welded on instead......

yeah go with 2.25 inch thats what I had on my EJ25 and it was a monster at auto-x, I think 3inch just takes too much backpressure away.

****, these guys are right. I wasn't sure what you were planning. If N/A, a smaller piping would be better. Think it thru first... lemme know.

If your planning to change the piping on the blitz to 2 1/4" I would get a new resonator with it.......if not, I would use the blitz resonator since it is high flow......
