need a new exhuast and need help
I need to get a new exhaust system for my 96 civic coupe i don't really want to spend more than $500 on the system?
I've looked at:
spoon n1 axle back
a'pexi world sport
es oval
can anyone give me some pointers and help.
It's intended use would be mostly daily driver, I don't want it to be too deep that it sounds like a bee, or so loud i can't hear my radio.
I'd like it to give good mid-range power.
Thanks again I did a search and not to much came up...

type-one - $$$$$$
Spoon - I thought they were loud.
I haven't heard the ES Oval, but that may be your best bang for the buck if you know of a shop that can do the piping.
If you want an axle-back complete system, the Apex'i WS is one of the quieter ones.

Re: need a new exhuast and need help (JeffS)
the type one I can get for 450 cad (i imagine the cad = canadian) which converts to about $290
spoon = no clue as to the loudness
es Oval was the one I was leanintowards but I don't know of many shops to do the back piping
apexi I heard some good things about as well but don't really know.
the world sport cat back system for 399 ? sounds decent to me but never priced it before?

you can get a mugen twin loop axelback for your car for about 450. i have one on my car. with the cat in place it is barely louder then stock. great sound IMO and lots of midrange.

I have a female friend who has an Acura 1.6EL, she just got a TypeOne SS muffler for her car since her 5Zigen muffler starts to makes weird sound. She got stock header and 5Zigen B-pipe. With the silencer on the exhaust note is really deep and quiet. After u take the silcencer off it gets louder and pitch gets lil higher. It's understand-able since her car is 4A/T. It always stays in the noisy rpm range.
She never get pulled over by any cops so far.

Re: need a new exhuast and need help (Grimm)
He said he doesn/t want to spend over $500 for an exhaust and a Tanabe RM would cost that much if not more. I wouldn't suggest just getting an axle-back because your b-pipe would still be the size of a pea shooter. I'd save up for the tanabe though.

Re: need a new exhuast and need help (Guardson3r3)
Does anyone have the JHP.com ES Universal N1 exhaust on their stock VX and if so, did you see any power gains?
I would really want to get one for their size because it leaves a lot of clearance for when work is being done on the rear suspension. I am getting tired of having to pull my stock muffler away everytime I want to get to the right side of the rear suspension.
This exhaust will be perfect for clearance and it is fairly cheap at $165 but I would not want to purchase anything that will not give me any horsepower gains.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Re: need a new exhuast and need help (Guardson3r3)
Well I'm pretty sold on the apex'i world sport cat back. for the price I think it will do me well especially since it has good mid-range power. i was looking at the tanabe but it's close to $600 and I just can't seem to justify it I mean what does it dyno at? sound isn't worth $200 more with same performance output?
