I guess ill start it off with this first pic, but I will try to get a better under car picture later.

Why I like it: This exhaust sounds awesome from the moment you put the key in and start it until you take it out again. There is just the right amount of rumbling that comes back into the car to not get annoying and on the highway. The hum at 80 mph is barely noticeable if you have music on unless you get on or completely off the throttle. On hard acceleration it gets louder until about 4500 rpm and after that it kinda just levels off with no gross raspy rattling sounds that make you wanna throw up.

When your just on regular acceleration you can get it to rumble/make a deep pop noise when the rmp's drop from around 4000 to approx 3500 with around 50% throttle. At idle its not very loud and to me its rather pleasant in around town traffic situations.

Basically i love this exhaust and its perfect for someone who wants an alternative to gross/over popular Greedy Evo's and Apexi World Sports etc. This fart can gets times 100 from me, I love it and Mgags7 and Birdman can vouch for it as well.

Ill see what I can do about a vid

What: Apexi World Sports II exhaust

my take:
sounds great, not real loud, but louder than stock. clean thorough sound. never raspy. really heavy system, and hangs low. pictures were taken after cutting hangers and using band clamps to raise the system as much as possible. with a dropped car (on H&R race springs) it scraped alot DDing in pittsburgh. it scrapes right in the center of the car over angled stuff, the muffler never really scraped.

id buy it again if i had a prelude.

3" Dynomax Super Turbo p/n 17673, Sprayed flat black. Mated to 2.5" SS piping.

I am still using the OEM muffler. With the Greddy header, 2.5 collector, hi-flow cat, and 2.5 piping (along with an 18" resonator), it sounds just perfect. I had a Greddy SP on it , but it didn't make any significant power gain over the OEM. It just made the car louder so I ended up taking it off and putting the original one back on.

I also got an ES muffler (single 2.5" inlet, dual 2" outlet) that I might use. If I do, I will paint it black and get some OEM looking tips. It would be a bit louder but it would look OEM. I had ES mufflers on two of my previous cars and I think they're great. Not too loud, not raspy, depending on your piping and resonator of course.

dumkopf

Magnaflow Oval. 2.25" Piping. Stock everywhere else. This is a custom app so it hangs very low. Scrapes on mountains AKA REALLY BIG SPEED BUMPS. Sounds great. Deep below 4k RPM. Above that it screams. I would say on a scale of quiet to loud (quiet being stock and loud being straight pipe) it's in between the middle and loud. Not too loud but you can hear it at least. Drone is tolerable. Pics and a clip to come.

BLAKE....

link this thread in the first post.....for sound clips.... https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1573281

lets see.. RS-R exmag GTII jspec.

full aluminum piping, no resonator, 60mm diameter.

h23prelude

totally custom 2.25" pipe from header. has very equal flow "Y" pipe to create very good flow on both sides, they are 2 bosal straight through mufflers with oval tips, i epically like the fitment on my rear bumper. i have received many complements on how it sounds, no rasp and very low mellow growl. kinda like a slightly louder stock NSX

What: HKS Hi-Power N/A Universal Muffler w/ custom 2.25" Piping and resonator. Stock Headers and Catalytic Converter.
My comments about it: AWESOME exhaust. Looks great and sounds great too (even though the vid below makes it sound like a 'fart can' at low RPMs). i'm not really the type of person that's all into speed, so yeah. highly recommend it..wayyy better than the HKS Carbon-Ti IMO.

CanadaRed

What: Espelir JGT500
Comments: Deep and throaty, I think the sound maybe up there with the other N1 style catbacks, you know the sound it makes is a quality one and not some cheap muffler shop weld job, the welds on the catback are professional looking too. Retails for around $500 but I got mine used for $350.

here is a sound clip of mine, kinda sucks but whatevers
camera phones are not good for these things...

stock 3GP exhaust, H22A, egay header, no cat and stock resonator.....



Once the engine is built, I'm thinking of redoing the stock exhaust to be a lot quieter and just doing a cut out......

littledan

my old whip

95 srv with Greddy EVO2 ss exhaust and a ebay resonated test pipe. sounded so nice. i miss this car

shaylude

Greddy Evo 2
Awesome looking, super nice design (IMO)
Great low deep tone, louder than stock but not annoyingly loud.
Paid 600 for it witch i think was pretty pricy.

but it was worth it. not just your everyday Apexi N1



-----------------------------------------
Tsudo Full Exhaust, with test pipe.
got it for free, very loud, very obnoxious. but sweet sound.


yes i pulled the ebay tails off of it, i got it that way.


i've got videos somewhere.

Acidcrakker

Okay deleted my old post today, I got some better pics, and a video. Got my digital camcorder in and had to test it out. The sound quailty is pretty crappy, gonna have to look for a microphone.

My set-Up is as follows.

Megan Racing header

2" collector

2.5" OBX Test Pipe

2.5" Custom Pipes

2.5"x22" Resonator

2.25" maganflow exhaust


Video

BB6-213

3" Right off the turbo, and right out the bumper with a carbon fiber surround . No muffler, cat or resonator. Also Y'd off with an E-Cutout and routed back through the stock cat and stock exhaust. I love the sound of open DP, and it wasn't TOO loud, but no rasp, just really deep. I decided to go for the complete sleeper look and will now be running a 4" that dumps underneath the car with a cutout, also using the stock exhaust, and the two WG dumptubes will merge into a single 3" pipe that will dump with a turndown, so the stock exhaust is all that will be seen. I will post pics when I get it fabbed up. Sorry for the shitty pics, they are all I have.

Why I like it: Fully stainless, perfect fit, and has a nice deep tone.

RS-R Ex Mag. Very quite over all. Great fitment. Like it alot. Never scraped, doesn't hang too low.

contractkiller

gtech, where did you get the es tuning muffler with dual outs, all I can find is single out

hybridshooter

My exhaust is cutom made. It consists of the factory ported exhaust manifold, dual 2 1/4 inch downpipe into 3 inch reduced to 2 1/4 after the 02 sensor, catco cat converter, spiralflow muffler, resonator, and dual stainless 2 inch tips out the side. I'm gonna be redoing it all 3" when I go turbo, but the same routing. As it is now, it is nice and smooth sounding, deep tone, and mellow, but when you get on it hard it screams, not ricey sounding at all.

PreludePilot

Tanabe Ultra Medallion cat-back
installed since Sep 06


Best exhaust I hear in the streets, not just because it's mine but I picked a good one. The canister and tip are Titanium with the Ti burn on the tip. I installed it by myself on a lift. It's probably as lightweight as you'll get aside from a full Ti catback. Comes with silencer.

Love the sound - especially decelerating, it's beastly lol. It's deep all the way thru with a hint of "ricey" on hard accelerating somewhere between 2500-4000 rpms. I decided some months after to install the silencer because I thought it would complelely eliminate that hint of ricey sound on accelerating, but the silencer actually enhanced the rice sound and muffled the deep sounds - makes no sense to me. It does work to lower the deepness tho. The low tone on decelerating is pretty nice - I try to downshift sparingly but it's so addictive.
