i have a ws2 and it pretty much sounds close to stock. I'm looking for something a little different though. check out the fujitsubo RM0A1. i wanted to get one in the first place but only had cash for the ws2.

I voted WS2. I have it on my car it is wonderful. Perfect for a DD. Also since you have a 2dr integra you can get the noir version of the WS2 muffler. Its all flat black and stealth.

+1000 on WS2. Sounds great -- not too loud, not too raspy at idle or low throttle openings, but nice and loud at WOT. I really love how the note doesn't dominate, and I can still hear my cams working if you know what I mean. Plus it makes a nice bark when she starts up. My only complaint is that it's not 2.5" piping.

buddy club spec 2 if you have a normal header and stock cat, it is not loud imo

but no one will listen, just get a ws2. my friend has one on his ejcoupe and it sounds like air so basically you hear nothing so if you want quiet there you go

It's funny because to me the WS2 sounds plenty loud and I definitely wouldn't want one much/any louder, but some people feel it's really quiet. It just comes down to individual preference, like many things automotive and otherwise. Hopefully the OP knows himself well enough to know what side of the fence he's on.

I'd go with the WS2. I've had mine a week on my gsr. Love the deep sound, and when idiling bare can hear it. I didnt realize it was only 2.36. A DC 4-2-1 header shouldn't cause issues when I get mine & clearance should be ok at stock height. I've read some things about the hytech headers.

The strange thing I've noticed w/ the WS2 compared to my ef hatch which have a 1gen b16a I,DC 4-2-1 headers from a LS Integra & Thermal Research Devolopment cat back exhaust is my WS2 is much more quiet. After I had my ws2 installed when I got home started my ef up to hear the difference there was. My DC2 didnt sound as if it was running. I thought the DC2 would be louder w/ the 1.8 vs 1.6.

I paid $502 shipped to my door. Alot of places I called they wanted like 520-630 not including shipping. Great choice

i know this isnt in the list but if you can afford a mugen twin loop, NOT EBAY BRAND, or find one for cheap get it. i think its way nicer then the ws2. my buddy has a apexi ws2 on his integra and i got the twin loop on my, its sound just like stock, you cant even hear the exhaust.

Is the DC 4-2-1 collecter 2.25" to match the Apexi piping? I cant find anywhere the size collecter outlet for that header. I have a d16y8 and need to know the size collector because I want it to match up with the WS2 piping. I have been told it is 2.0" but see other things that say 2.25"?? Also, is the WS2 Raspy at all or nice and deep and powerful sounding?
Thanks

I have the WS2, sounds great, had it on over 100k miles without a problem, still cleans up nicely and the exhaust has a very nice look to it from behind, it doesn't have that ricer can look that most aftermarket exhaust have.

the best exhaust I've had is ES tuning. It gives the stock look and it sounds good. But you should run it with a resonator.

SP2 is the loudest of them all... but still subtle compared to others. SP2 is the most straight through in terms of muffler design.

Honestly, you're not going to gain any HP with any of these exhaust systems (1 or 2HP at most). I believe all of these catback systems use a 2.25" piping which is slightly bigger than stock. I've looked at the comptech system before and its based off of the OEM design, donut gaskets, connectors, hangers, etc. Doesn't look very attractive once its on the car. The greddy sp2 looks good, sounds probably the best out of the 3 listed, and its probably loudest of the 3, BUT, I simply can't stand behind greddy products. I've had the two sp1's and both of the resonators went bad on me, including the internals of the muffler. Fiberglass packing and other crap started coming out and falling apart internally. Greddy did nothing for me when I addressed this issue. I've also tried out the apexi ws2... my favorite of the three. Quiet, but almost too quiet, looks great and was very reliable for the 2+ years I used it.

If you're looking for performance, I'd find a catback system running 2.5" piping. Check out kteller.com (also a member here) for custom piping/exhaust systems.
