New exhaust is on!
First off, what a pain in the *** 
If I would have done it over I probably would have just bought a complete exhaust, instead of a kit. But it's worth it. Being by myself it was hard to mark out all the pipes and hangers and stuff.
It's a prebent kit. 3" stainless, 3" magnaflo turbo muffler, 3" hi flow cat. Total cost was right around $485 for everything including the welding costs. One thing with a slip fit exhaust is once you put it on and tighten the clamp it's a major pain getting it on or off after. I had to drop the lower suspension arm for the final assembly.
I can't believe how quiet this exhaust is for no resonator and being 3". It's super quiet(compared to open dp
). I'll get a vid after I get the car tuned next week. If you want to see the rest of my setup it's here https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=736895 Thanks for looking.

I've never heard a bad sounding Magnaflow. Check out the vids in my sig, let me know what you think of the sound of mine....

Re: (RaYnE)
sorry if this is a crazy question.. but that arm looks like it will bend his exhaust if it swings up...
or is it just an illusion mde by the angle of the pic...?

Re: New exhaust is on! (5thgencivic)
function is what counts, I suppose.
I'm definately not liking the look of just sticking a muffler at the end with no tip or anything to finish it off and give it a good look. Looks like crap from behind. IMO

Re: New exhaust is on! (sledgehammer)
300zGuy, it's probably the angle of the pic. there's still some pretty good clearance between the pipe and lower arm. It's as far up as it can go.

The more it looks like crap the better
That's why I painted the end flat black...
