umm i own a 3rd gen 2.2l si currently so im gonna go ahead and talk and most of my friends own hondas and well guess what i drive them sometimes. so i do have a reason to talk. and  running a free flow exaust (no cats and a 2.75") exaust you DO i repeat DO lost torque.

also what i mean about "thats why i hate hondas" guess what i was talking about honda motors not the h22 or the h22a's all hondas even the k seris motors even with basic mods and 200 to the wheels ill bet my celica made more torque than it.

Are you testing my Honda knowledge? Hehe... first off... the 3rd gens only came in 2.0 and 2.1. We had a 91 2.1 SI with ABS (came with either ABS or 4WS) a few years back as a project car. Was a nice car, and was definately a lot faster than any Celica (well, most 4th-5th-6th gens). You are entitled to your opinion, but not all cars are created equally. The reason you lose torque... you're running a BLOODY HUGE exhaust. Any bigger than 2.25 on an n/a 4 cyclinder is overkill. Exhaust velocity means a lot. I did mention that didn't I? Maybe you should judge yourself also. And no... you'll get handed by the new Honda K series. They make more torque that your 5SFE. The 5SFE is just not designed to compete with those motors... so stop that argument. The Honda K series is probably one of the best n/a 4 cylinders built to date. They make almost as much horsepower per liter as the S2000 F20C, their torque response is definately better, and they have stock forged internals, are a perfect square design, and can easily rev up to 9k rpms. What's not to love? As far as hating Hondas... give me a better reason than "low torque" as to why you dislike hondas. Tell me they burn oil, tell me their valves leak after a while, tell me anything aside from "low torque" and I won't fight you. Finally, that last part of your topic is completely opposite of everything you just said... so figure it out man...

Good riddence...
