Default Decent flowing but normal looking exhaust?

I have a GSR powered 1993 CX hatchback. What is a decent looking (no 4" tips) exhaust that sounds ok and looks ok.

I currently have a tanabe on it and it sounds awefull. Sounds like a bunch of bolts rolling around in a steel can.?

Is there any type that looks close to stock but free flowing? (sleeper)

thanks

Scot

ITR or GSR with custom piping.

for the sleeper look, go with the ITR.

so basically have someone cut off the tanabe and weld on a ITR muffler. Are the hangers ok or do I need someone who can weld new hangers?

thanks

I'm not sure about hangers, but I do know there is some modification needed to fit. I believe that if you have the axleback its too long... somebody just posted a topic about this (i think it was in apperance) do a search.

get ITR and have it welded, you'd have to cut the tip a few inch off so it doesn't stick out too far, just have it welded to your current piping.

I would suggest the apexi WS the muffler loos like a stock canister with a very mild tip (not 4"), I just got one and it is in the powder coating shop right now, It's not that loud and looks clean when powder coated flat black

peace

The best deals i have ever seen. Also the es needs a resinator.
