Which should I choose? JC Racing or SuperCircuit?

[saru04]

Hey ZTH,

First of all, I am driving 2013 model Honda City.

I am planning to change my car extractor first before going for full exhaust setup.

So far I have two shops in mind which are JC Racing Sunway or SuperCircuit Sunway.

Anyone can give me reviews on their extractors? Or any word of advice?

SuperCircuit is able to use back the OEM heatshield ontheir extractor whereas JC Racing can't use it.

I am not sure which is better for my car. So please do help me out!

Thank you.

have u tried everco, JFA in sunway or Jian Hang or ijal in batu caves?

 

[Izso]

Yeah, agree with Danz.

But if you're dead set with these two brands, best you test drive owners who have done this mod already then only choose which one you like.

 

[saru04]

I heard of Everco and JFA.

Didn't do much research on them. Any review for those 2?

All I know is SuperCircuit does mods for many different cars and JC Racing is specialize in Honda cars.

I also noticed that Everco focuses a lot on piping and mufflers. Are they famous for extractor?

Cos I only plan to change my extractor for now.

If you are able to use back the heatshield, the size and design of the aftermarket extractor that you are getting more or less the same as the OEM.

 

[saru04]

Thats true.

JC Racing is not extractor, they say it ex manifold.

 

[pwhyze]

Same lah, exhaust manifold is extractor

 

[mcliong1]

If not mistaken, Honda City 2013 using downpipe instead of extractor

 

[saru04]

Now i'm seriously confused.

Friends told me ex manifold is a different part (bottom of extractor or something).

But I got to choose between these two for now.

Unless get custom job but dunno where to get it.

 

[okr]

called down pipe/ decat ... city 09 onward don't have extractor ... that pipe connected direct from ur engine to exhaust ...

 

[saru04]

I see.

So ex manifold is that down pipe is it?

I was recommended to go for JC Racing.

Anyone using their stuff?

Currently I am using Supercircuit decat downpipe in my honda city 09. I am also paired with M7 straight muffler.
This setup loss low end power but high got a little bit improve. However, I feel there are some power loss in 3-4k rpm like the rpm go up not really smooth.
Maybe my setup got problem. Anyway, happy trying.

 

[saru04]

But is it the extractor that caused the power loss or full setup?

Cos to begin with the low end power for honda city is quite bad. Only start to show improvement after 40km/hr above.

 

[mcliong1]

Maybe but I am not so sure. Maybe not enough back pressure.

Yeah agree that city already bad in low end

 

[saru04]

Thats why i was hoping that i'll be able to find an extractor that will improve / smoothen the low end to mid power.

 

[mcliong1]

Do u change your muffler? If your change to S Flow. Should be good

 

[saru04]

Nope I only plan to change the extractor / ex manifold.

Looking for one that will help with low end to mid end power.

An extractor swap out alone might just make the car move easier, but expecting just an extractor change to improve low end torque is hoping for too much man. Exhaust is just waste gases being pushed out of the car. If you set it up correctly you'll get a very strong scavenging effect where the exhaust is pulled out rather than pushed out. Not changing the entire exhaust you'll just create a bottleneck.

Instead of changing the extractor, consider to get a high flow catcon instead. The catcon is one of the biggest bottlenecks. Loosen that up and you'll feel a big difference. Not sure if it'll help the low or mid. Get a highflow catcon, and don't just delete it. Be responsible!
