I have a 2000 civic ex coupe, but i dont like the dinky little muffler that is on the car, what would be the advantages/disadvantages of getting something like this: http://www.procivic.com/pages-produc...321/index.html

I dont know much about cars yet im 16 and its my first car but im trying to learn.

It will just be loud and annoying.

not sure on your budget or whatnot, but i have this on my d-series civic. (should be what your car has in it if it's stock). you can buy the muffler only if you need to or get the kit. i would not expect any sort of huge horsepower gain with any exhaust kit. only difference i noticed was the car was a little more responsive. imo this exhaust is cheap and sounds great. g/l with whatever you choose

the gains from a muffler are going to be minimal to none, you wont even notice. get a full kit with piping and then you will see a loss in bottom end and a gain in higher rpms. if you dont have a budget spoon n1 is great.

Your engine probably puts 90whp on a good day. Spending $1000 on exhaust MIGHT bring it up to 100whp.

Making your car fun doesn't mean drowning out your music and passengers in a symphony of motorized landscaping.

Get some nice shocks/springs and you'll enjoy your car a lot more. And attract a lot less attention.

Adamvanxxx

Yes. Get a quiet exhaust, you may think loud is cool but you always grow out of it.

Libertariat

One 6 hour+ trip on the highway usually does it for most people.

Or the 1st time a cop glares at you for doing 30mph in a 35mph zone.

It's only natural, it just sounds like your car is working harder than it is.

Point well made. I had the HKS Hiper on my Teg, it sounded good and wasn't too loud. A good set of coilovers(Tein/H&R) and a camber kit will make you WANT to drive your car. I had the Tein Basics, best money I ever spent besides that one time in Guam but thats a story for another time.

Why does a camber kit make you want to drive your car? Last I checked it was not a performance mod to your suspension.

seems like every two weeks we get the same question over and over

search!!! you will find a favorite with many is the Apex-i WS

Bondito007

For the simple fact that with the way I drive having my camber corrected meant my tires lasted longer. I was stating my opinion. You obviously think performance only has to do with hp.

Adamvanxxx

Um no, I'm sure everyone who legimitally builds a car knows you should do suspension first. Who cares if you have 1000whp if you cannot put It to the ground. With tire wear I guess I don't get the full effect since my camber is like -1, I think being "slammed" is not pratcical and lame.

If you want a faster car buy good tires and suspension.

Bondito007

Here's a penny for your thoughts.

Adamvanxxx

As for you.

Any Suggestions?

Apexi World Sport 2. Relatively cheap, well made, throaty, yet almost quiet as stock, and looks good. It's not a fart cannon.

What it looks like on my car:


The full catback can be had for around $400 shipped.

Libertariat

Apexi WS is they way to go for sure.

it's practically the H-T official exhaust.

That or custom piping with an ES oval.

Edit: Or one of those OBX twin loops.

I have a Flow Master American Thunder. It was around $220 3 years ago. It's only an axle back though. It sounds good, but it's a little bit too loud.

Adamvanxxx

I have a vibrant street power and 18in res. I love it. Just watch sounds clips.

Libertariat

A big resonator can do a lot to fix a loud exhaust.

Adamvanxxx

I almost want to have two of them.

Bondito007

A good thing to do is get on youtube and listen to sound clips of any exhaust you maybe interested in. Remember you get what you pay for. You can get a cat-back for under $400 but it may not have the build quality of one that costs $200 more. Stay away from ebay "specials" and fly by night companies.
