Default 2002 Honda Civic EX Cat-back exhaust

I am about to buy a cat-back exhaust, and I would like to know from your guys experience what brand is better?

Currently, I am considering Apex'I N1, Greddy Racing EVO-2, and a Borla.

I hear Apex'I and Borla are both really nice. But I can get a brand new catback Greddy EVO-2 for $350!!!

For me the issue is sound. I want a nice, deep bass sound. But I don't want something really loud to where I can't hear my own stereo inside my car.

What do you guys think?

The greddy is a nice exhaust. The exhaust that I would consider is the Tanabe Hypermedallion exhaust. Not sure if they make it for the 02 ex but If I were you I would look into it. It sounds clean!!!

They do make a Tanabe Hyper Medallion for the 2002 Civic Ex. It is about $620, a hundred more than any other brand.

I also found Tanabe "Super" Medallion, but I can't tell the difference, but this is more expensive.

My friend just bought a real Greddy Racing catback, but right before he could put it on, he totaled his car, so he has to sell it.

He is gong to sell it to me for like $350 if I want.

I just don't want my car sounding bad if I do buy it.

it drones. after living 2 years with it, im sometimes get sick of it when i wake up at 5AM and have to drive to class half awake. and road trips will kill you too...it was cool for a yr in a half. plus, the canister is f'in huge. but all i gotta say is watch for the droning. thats killer. it drones way too dam much at low RPMS. over all i still give it a 3/5. im actually going apexi WS2. its so much quieter...

I rock an apexi N1. I love it, it is a lot quieter than my old ractive canister, and has a nice low tone.

I totally recommend it.
