Spoon N1 Great quality and I love the look and sound. However it is pricey and when i tell people how much I paid they always ask if i'm nuts. Maybe so lol The thing I like most is the tip isnt huge. If you are on more of a budget Apexi WS2... IMO get the axle back you want and custom piping/resonators for the B piping. Again it all depends on your setup and what your looking to do.

The tip shouldn't matter. Any exhaust shop will weld a tip on for cheap, or grab a 6in piece of plain pipe and a pipe clamp.

Your saying you could take a 4" outlet exhaust and weld on a 2.5" tip? What about the inside of the exhaust which would still be a preferated core 4" round? You would have to cut the muffler otherwise it would stick out so far too. Just seems like more work than its worth. Big tips make the car attract more attention an look dumb IMO. Stock looking but modified is where its at.

I have a tanabe hyper medallion on my 99 si and its a lower rumble, cracks like hell in vtec and its not noisy inside at all. I had a POS can with 2.5" piping and it was so loud to the point where if someone would call me i could not here them. Plus this tanabe isnt to attention getting. The tip is 3" i think, could be wrong. But it looks relatively stock. The main thing here is you get what u pay for with these parts. The more popular companies are popular for a reason. They do the correct R&D and make very good products. It all depends on what u are looking for.

If you're talking about a fart can, the tip is the least of your problems. You could make it look stock and the driver is still going to get attention.

why not just spend an extra 100 bucks and replace it from the header back with a good setup?

For a full header back option
1.) Kteller custom stainless steel 245.00
http://www.kteller.com/store/index.p...mart&Itemid=64

2. Magnaflow Highflow cat 114.36 (you will be getting a universal one however which should be around 80-90)
http://www.magnaflowsuperstore.com/4...ter-PRD13.aspx

3. cherry bomb glasspack as a resonator after the cat 39.90
http://buycherrybomb.com/catalog/pro...roducts_id=158

4. Spintech Muffler 81.00
http://www.spintechmufflers.com/spin...ntechindex.asp

Grand total for the sweetest sounding, one of the best performing exhausts I have ever seen/heard/worked with

About 445.90

Not bad seeing as how it will last longer than your car will.
