Hi, can anyone recommend a good exhaust for my Integra? It's a 96 gsr naturaly aspirated. Looking for something that sounds a little better than stock but not too loud. Neighbors. Thank you!

custom. Can be done for around $150, including the muffler.

It's hard to find anything other than stock that's not way too loud. I ended up having it done with 2" pipe and magnaflow, but they had to put in a resonator. It worked well. It sounds like engine. Very nice. I don't like the loud tuba sound that everyone seems to like.

Hmm I'll try to check on that. Don't know a lot of shops in my area but I'll see. Thanks

avoid those chain muffler shops like Meinke, etc. Go to a local muffler shop that will do a setup to your liking.

If you are going to a muffler shop to go custom, start with a piping kit. That way you have mandrel bent piping, at the correct lengths and angles, instead of crush bends and possible fitment issues.
Then select the end muffler and resonator of your choice.
Do you have plans of replacing the header/cat or building the engine etc? If not, I would go with 2.25"
I got a kit from this company plus a magnaflow resonator/ end muffler. I was very pleased.
Staying 2.25", with a magnaflow 22" resonator and 5"x8" end muffler would sound very nice, especially with the factory cat/header...

I vote for Apexi WS2. Reason is, the tone is deep and not raspy or annoying. I did allot of research and listened to videos before I purchased.
No offense, but I would not pay a shop $150 for a custom exhaust unless I was getting straight pipes. They are just going to slap on the cheapest muffler they can find and it's going to sound like crap. Not sure how any shop could make money like that either.

That is why you bring your own piping/muffler etc and just pay them for the labor...

the ghetto muffler shop that halfasses things, sure. However, most shops that have knowledgeable experienced employees will recommend the right muffler for your needs.

Just don't go here. .....

Thanks! Right now I have a built B20B on it so let me look into that

It was suggested above that you could get an entire custom setup, including the muffler for $150.
$150 for labor would be expected. $150 for parts and labor, well then you get whistle tips.

thanks. Yeah don't want raspy or annoying for sure. Seems like most of us are in agreement here to avoid cheap muffler shops so yeah, cool stuff guys

CandyRedRC46

Not sure what a built B20B entails, but if it has higher compression pistons/more aggressive cams etc, you probably want to go with the 2.5" or maybe even 3.0", depending on your goals. You didn't mention your header or catalytic converter choice yet either.

Agreed, the OP specified 96 GSR N/A, not built B20B. 2.35" might be a bit restrictive for that engine.

False, this is the only shop in the country to go to lol
