OK GUYS I GOT A H22 CIVIC JDM . LOOKING TO UPGRADE THE STOCK SYSTEM BUT I DONT WANT A RICER SOUND. IM REALLY INTO A NICE DEEP THROTTLE SOUND AND IM LOOKING NOT BREAK MY POCKETS FOR NO MORE THAN 200 BUCKS. HOW ARE THOSE MAGANAFLOWS?? I HEAR THEM ON THE CIVICS AROUND MY HOUSE AND IM LIKE WOW THATS THE SOUND I WANT.

First thing that people here will tell you is to turn off the Caps Lock. Im not a dick and I do not care, but why dont you save some money and get a nice cat-back exhaust(Apexi, Greddy etc,). If you are really in a hurry and want a muffler get the magnaflow they are good and sound nice.

if you want a nice sounding exhaust i would go with the magnaflow, i have one on my car, and i love the sound

if you only want to spend less than 200, best bet is just buying the can and having a place put it on your stock piping,which in turn still wont let your motor fully open up. or do what i did and find an exhaust that someone is selling used, i just found a full catback tsudo n1 piping with an invidia can for 60 bucks

LOL! Holy ****, that made my day.

Anywho, why don't you take a look at the ES oval, or a twin-loop style muffler. You could also look into getting an OEM muffler off of Honda's more sporty cars, like the S2000 or the 07 SI or something. Either way, those are good options for mufflers, but you'll be hard pressed to find a good mandrel bent catback for under $200 with shipping. Why don't you be patient, start doing some homework on the subject, and have some good money saved for a high quality system when you find it. You get what you pay for, and the sound of our Honda exhausts is garbage if you cheap out too badly.

To get you started on your research, why don't you take a look at the link I have below, for exactly these kinds of questions. It'll help you get some experience with the sounds of different exhausts.

Bottom line, it takes money to play. If you want a good sounding exhaust, it isn't going to be cheap.

lol caps off!!!! sorry bout that. well heres the story the ricer exhaust that came with my car is killing me this car dont get me wrong im planning to keep so im plan to put nothing but the best when i said 200 i meant just for now......it has straight pipes already maybe i can just buy a magnaflow and have a shop weld it.?? but i really want is the greddy evo2 exhaust anyone have one i love that sound

would that be it?? i like it its nice....no too much either.....

BlackoutVTi

That would be. I like that exhaust for its sound, which is nice and quiet, yet sporty, and the offset placement of the tip, which allows the muffler canister to be tucked well underneath. These same characteristics apply to the twin-loop muffler, which I have, and love comparably. The last time I got pulled over (front license plate), the cop was going through the motions, went away, and then came back to ask, "Sir is your car off?" Needless to say, I was jazzed, because I don't like the rumble sound when my car is not in rumble mode, so I took it as a compliment. Best $10 ticket yet.

If you've got the money, and don't intend to turbo, I say go with the genuine quality of the WS2. You will not be dissappointed.

H22CIVICJDM

so your only recomeding this if i dont go turbo.??..i mean i am evetually ...but was wrong with turbo on this set up??? too loud??

BlackoutVTi

Well, the deal with the twin-loop style systems and the WS2 systems is that their mufflers are not straight through. The reason N1 style mufflers were created was to allow as much flow as possible. However, this can cause an undesirable sound for those who don't want too aggressive of a car.

The twin loop, as you may assume, has piping that passes through the muffler, pulls a 180, then passes through again, for a good smooth note. The same basic concept goes for the WS2, who's piping makes an "S" shape inside the muffler, to make much more use of it's "muffling" qualities. These are good for N/A setups because they provide a bit of backpressure that our tiny Honda engines need, as they don't output a lot. Needless to say, these style mufflers are a bit more restrictive when you're talking turbo, but in the meantime, while you're doing your F/I homework, they are great to have. And, if you feel like saving some money, you could butcher your exhaust at the time of the turbo installation, and just weld on an Apex'i N1 muffler for that extra bit of flow.

I hope I've answered some questions, but I gotta go to school now.

H22CIVICJDM

no you have man thanks....i get the concept of both styles now....and since i wont go boosting for a long time till i get my car fixed and all of that ill just go with this ws2 .....thanks for all the info...

Thats a really good guy. I have bought many things from that store. He is numbero uno! Very fast shipping across the country!

Go with the WS2

having a catalytic converter and the resonator also helps with the sound, it makes the raspy sound go away basically.
