He asked about other exhuasts so I posted mine.

Yes that is the type s and that is my car. Curising on the highway is it not too loud. The only annoying loudness comes in around 2-3000 rpms, there is a drone but I am used to it already.

When I wanted to boost my car the last thing i wanted was a "loud ricy tin can sounding honda." I got this system and I love how it sounds, even though it was louder than I thought it would be. I have gotten used to it though!

I love my 3" Thermal. but my car is definately NOT quiet...... but does not sound anything like a coffee can, nice and deep.

i was thinking about gutting up an apexi world sport muffler and using a magnaflow muffler as a resonator.. i know it restricts flow. But if it saves me points on my license and less tickets its almost worth it.

what do you guys think?

GS-R Civic

Isn't the ws2 a chambered muffler? You can't open that up so i am assuming you are going to ram a broom stick down there? I would not advise that. It was designed to flow the most amount of gas out how it is set up, if you mess with it you could just end out hurting the flow and power. That is what poeple say happens when you do that to a cat.

And as for using the muffler as a resonator, where are you going to fit that?

Also getting an exhaust ticket is not a moving violation, so you will not get points on your license. But if you are speeding im sure it will attract more attention to yourself.

Just get the Kteller system!
It has a nice rumble at idle and sounds soo sweet at WOT, not ricey but like a race car haha. Its up to you though, good luck!
