I have a 97 Accord Special Edition AT and I've been doing a bit of research on exhaust and other mods etc. But for exhaust I am having trouble with. Im looking for something quiet at idle, cruise, and even at highway speeds. But "louder" during WOT or hard acceleration. These are the two names ive found to be the best for my car.

As for the GReddy ive heard that its been ridiculously loud for our cars, and then people saying opposite. And i havent really heard a good description of the sound.

For the Apex'i people say it has the sound quality i want, but with very little gains in power. Now i want to know if im going to get more power out of the GReddy but lose a little quietness(real word??) then thats fine. What do you guys think?

BTW Soundclips and real expeirences with these or other brands would be sweet. Thanks

 

I would go with Greddy, I knew someone that had it on his accord also same year same style, sounded great....

 

tanabe super medallion is pretty quiet at idle, but sounds nice at wot. best bet would prolly be to try and find just the muffler and get the rest of the catback custom welded. i personally feel that custom exhuasts sound better(not to mention a hell of a lot more cost effective). dont cut corners on the muffler though, youll be sorry.

 

im runnin Apex N1 n/a custom 2.25 piping high flow cat and a resenator. sounds awesome at full throttle and quiet at highway cruzin 80mph 3k rpms can hardly hear it.

 

Thanks for all the opinions so far guys, im kinda leaning towards GReddy at the moment.

Another question i thought of...are any of these exhausts going to affect gas mileage? by this i mean any negative gas side effects?

Thanks again guys, lovin the forum,
