Any exhaust that works with your stock engine will work with the B16A. I'd look for something in a 2.5" diameter. BTW, Thermal R&D apparently makes the best exhaust for Civics/CRXs.

Aren't the thermal exhausts quite loud? I need a new exhaust for my CRX, just wondering how loud i'll be looking at, I only have had Greddy exhausts before..

I don't know how loud they are, but I've heard they're mellow, not screaming like the N1s. This is just heresay I've picked up by reading thousands of posts entitled "What exhaust should I get for my (fill in car here)" .

Actually on a B16A you dont want to go larger that 2 1/4 until you have gone to big cams and played with compression ratios.

The Thermal R&D is a 2 1/4 exhaust it has a very mellow tone to it and is fully polished. The tip is a bit ugly though IMHO.

I'll be getting the Thermal 3" turbo one since I plan on 11.5:1 and about 300 degrees of duration, a SMS or Hytech header, and high flow cat .....
