i have a 95 civic hatchback cx im running 2 1/2 piping ..whats the best muffler i should go with? i was thinking magnaflow but im not sure...

NOFX

"Best" is relative.

If the car were mine and I needed a new muffler because of damage, then I'd keep my eyes open for a used OE piece.

If my exhaust had no problems but I still had tons of mods in mind, I'd hold off on the exhaust (and possibly keep my eyes open for the unit I'd be interested in).

If the car were coming together or I was looking for a rare unit I'd probably keep my eyes open for a Honda Access unit, Mugen or Spoon Sports.

It really depends on the volume you're looking for, the fitment (some swaps might change the length and piping size) and the style you're looking for. It took me years to figure out the one I wanted and unfortunately that one is just about impossible to find. So I had to settle for second best. Turns out I'm pretty thrilled about it.

It's very important that you define "best"

Best might also depend on your budget. I'm personally a big fan of the apexi WS2 axleback, but you probably aren't looking to spend $275

I'm sure by best you mean the loudest.

On a CX? Stock. This thread should be locked.

Why?

Why? Because it's a vague, subjective and ambiguous type question that will probably get answers all over the board. This is a typical newb type of question asked without the benefit of any research on the OPs part and no obvious end result in mind or even budget consideration.

So best sounding muffler?
Best muffler for HP gains?
Best inexpensive muffler?
I could go on.

The stock cx motor has a rating of 70fwhp, stock exhaust should be in order.

Best = shiniest?
or
Best = loudest?
or
Best = fuel economy?
or
Best = fastest?

If Best = fastest, you require an engine swap.

vibrant stealth. its black, stockish looking, and it'll be quiet at 70whp.
