hi everyone, i just got a whole new exhaust system from my local shop and now want to get a new muffler, i dont know what size piping it is so im assuming its the 30mm stock size but im not sure what it is nor how to find out without calling my shop. if anyone could answer these questions i would be greatful and need suggestions on what types of mufflers to look at, i dot plan on running any boost or anything like that. i have a 98 civic LX sedan.

-thanks for any help HT

i think stock piping is 2.25' or 2.5'...but i would go with the es tuning oval muffler..best bang for your buck muffler..they run from 100-110 bucks...they sound nice and look some wat stock.

stock piping is like 1.5". 2.5" would be good enough for forced induction. You need to find out what size piping it is because if its the stock size you really wont get that much more power maybe a little because its new and the muffler wont really add more than 3-5 hp the power really comes from the piping but if anything go with the HKS one like $150-$200

i dont really care about power gains too much, im just lookin to make my car sound a little better and not like such a civic...lol =P

but i could just buy a new muffler and bolt it on or would i need it to be welded on?

depends what muffler you get. you should be able to bolt it on. You can get a cheap muffler that will change your sound at like pep boys probably. i like the greddy ones and HKS

I reco bolting mufflers on, specially on egs/ eks. Its a pain to get exhaust system out or on quick because of the muffler. but skunk2 apexi es HKS eBay all have after market bolt on mufflers bro.

Apexi WS2 axleback. It won't sound as good as the whole catback, but I can't imagine it's possible for that muffler to sound bad.

i have an EK 98 and the stock muffler piping would be no greater than 2 inch - i think it's a bit bigger than 1.5 inch. If ur not running boost, then 2 inch is probably as big as you want to go - i have a 2 inch rear sports muffler and while it's not the loudest you can feel how much it has freed up the engine in letting it breathe easier. High-flow cat and cat-back 2inch piping to rear muffler is my next mod.

But i think any bigger than 2 inch without the proper mods and you're going to lose back pressure and performance (especially torque) will suffer. It might sound louder, but that doesn't mean it's faster...

Good luck mate,

Since you're in California, either stock or a Walker SoundFX. If you go with something that doesn't look stock, such as the Apexi WS2 (quietest aftermarket system as far as I know), cut off the tip and attatch normal pipe to it and paint the body of the muffler black. Whatever you do, stay stealthy.
