questions that beg answers
1. when people talk about exhaust systems, it is usually stated that for naturally aspirated civics a 2.25"-2.5" tip is the way to go. my question is: are they really referring to the outlet? aren't the outlet and the tip two different things? so technically, you could have a 2.25" outlet with a 4" tip. is this true? i'm asking this because i want to get another exhaust that would be less loud. i just bought my civic and i have what seems to be a four inch tip and it is pretty loud. i dont know, anyone have any suggestions?
2. and what's a b-pipe? pictures would help if possible.
thanks

Re: questions that beg answers (ek9-hatch)
to answer your questions.
When the people say tip...that is the tip on the end of the muffler sticking out the back of the car.
what they should mean, is 2.25"-2.50" diamater exhaust should be run from the header all the way out to the muffler.
Yes you can have a 2.5" muffler inlet/outlet with a 4"tip
if you want to have a quieter ride, a smaller diamater pipe, like 1.75" with a longer resonator would help quiet it down.
A muffler tip won't really increase sound on a car.
a b-pipe is basically the mid-section of the exhaust
example of an exhaust system:
{}------------{}--------------{}------------------------{}------------{}----------{}
