I'm not a fan. In my opinion, all straight-through mufflers are too loud, annoying, and ugly for street use.
Just my opinion, but I bet others would agree with me.

Avoid a straight through exhaust, especially that first one. Just keep in mind if you are planning on lowering the car or if it already is about ground clearance. Theres nothing uglier than seeing a civic without a huge exhaust pipe that barely clears the ground, unless you pushing 700hp you dont need anything bigger than 2.5 inches.

still don't like straight through mufflers. If you're going for strictly looks, I guess I think the OBX looks a little better. I think they'll both sound like crap though.
are you running a resonator of any kind? A cat?

Re: How would this look??????????
there is another thread going on right now about OBX twin loop, probably just as cheap and wouldn't blow your ear drums or bank.
that is unless you are set on the large, straight through "you-know-what-can" look?

to OP, I have ran 2.5 for a long time and had it custom made down at the local exhaust shop to make sure that it fit snug up against the under side and have not had any problems what so ever and if you are trying to fit into this JDM drivin market then the "fart can" is not "cool" unless it says N1 or something like that on the side. of course you can always get one of the usual suspects like the ws2 but instead of asking everybody else how about you do what you want. Loud exhaust save's live's.

Re: How would this look??????????
Like someone else asked, do you have a cat/resonator?
If you dont itll be annoyingly loud
And I would i buy it to save your life. The cops arent going to buy that excuse either when they write you a ticket. It only works for bikes

I stopped coming over to this side of HT cause of dumbass' like this. please dont speak unless you know what you are talking about. if you have a reason why you think that a valve would get burned due to the size of exhaust pipe then please explain but dont just randomally spit crap out of your mouth without wiping afterwards.

Not to be mean, but I always feel embarrased for people driving cars with those mufflers... IMO they look dumb and sound terrible (embarrassingly terrible). I've always preferred doing a Y-split in front of the trunk and going into a pair of mufflers something like this one:

That way you still get the air-flow, without looking like you're trying so hard... They sound nicer too, but that's just my opinion. But hey, you're the one who's going to be seen and heard in the vehicle, so do what pleases you...
