Long story short, I hit a huge puddle that I didn't see and it ripped my muffler right off of the piping. This is on a 92 Cx hatch. I'm doing a swap to a B18C motor around middle/late june. I want to get the ES oval exhaust because of the look and sound(This is goin pretty sleeper, no big fart cannons or loud exhausts). My question is:
I'm gonna do the ES with custom built 2.5" piping, should I just do this now and get it out of the way or if I do this now will it need to be changed when I get the B18? My concern with doing it now is having a 2.5" exhaust on my little 70HP D15. I believe that would sound like complete ***. So, what are your suggestions?

Do it now.

Why pay twice.

Now, definately now.

do it now, just be sure to add a cat and resonator to the equation so that when you drop the GSR, you wont hear the RAAAASPY sound of an ES

Do it now and add a resonator if you want to keep it quiet.

Might as well do it now.
Hell my exhaust fell of a few months back, only I wasn't too lucky, it took more than it's self along for the ride. 94 Del Sol

Well, it happened.
My exhaust fell off last night. It was hanging on at the resonator although what I didn't see was it was worse at the axle portion. I figured I would wait until the end of the month and purchase the Tanabe when I had the cash.

Only real problem is that it took my rear bumper w/ it!!
The right side is unattached from the QP, and it also tore 2 of the screws underneath the tail light. It also tore the left exhaust hanger from the frame, and cracked the unpainted portion of the bumper.
So the estimate comes to $856.00, plus the exhaust.
So after about $1400 or so I should have a new exhaust.

**** happens I guess, and all in the same night as I broke up w/ my girl.

Ok, gonna do it now, I figured I would do it. Now, someone made a comment to the raspiness of the ES exhaust. I was under the impression it was relatively quiet. Is it not? I got a quote today for a resonator, cat, piping and labor at $440. Too expensive? Keep in mind, that's without the muffler. This is the first exhaust I've bought so I have no clue what prices are. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

That's expensive. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=380727 I bought my piping from him and have no complaints. The muffler I used is a Magnaflow 4x9. It's loud, but bearable once it's broken-in and you adjust to the new tone. Put a resonator on if you want that extra quietness.
