If you want to keep it quiet, stock exhaust + cut out.


I've never got why import guys never got into cut outs.

It's a Y pipe welded in the exhaust with a plate, open the plate and no exhaust close it... stock quiet

make sure you look at the details before you buy an electric one, Egay ones are usually cheap and they leak. If it does leak, it will sound like **** like you have a hole in your exhaust.

QTP also makes GREAT headers for the cars they offer, sadly nothing for hondas but anything they make it top notch imo.

If you want a manuel cut out Flowtech makes a great one for not too much money
