has anyone put on a dc header or any aftermarket header but kept the stock exhaust?? I have a 97 ex and don't want the raspy whiney sound of a lot of the aftermarker exhausts. Or does anyone know of an exhaust that isnt that loud and obnoxious? Any help would be great.

 

yes u can put header on w/ stock exhaust, it wont do much but u can. as for exhaust try a search but i like greddy, magnaflow and a lot of people like es oval cause its small and doesnt have like a 3" tip

 

i got the greddy evo 2 and its not loud nice and deap allthough i did get rolled once for modified exhaust but no ticket cops just hate nice cars i guess

 

If you are looking for an exhaust that is not loud and obnoxious I would try the RS-R EXMAG. http://www.rs-r.com/products/exhaust/exmag.php

 

i used to have DC header's with my stock exhaust. Can't really tell any power gains.

 

The header will not give you a big gain in hp but it will help smooth out the RPM band a little more. and as far as a quiet exahaust? i would look somewhere along the lines of Thermal research.. No raspy tone. Nice looks and excelant quality for the money. We have a 05 Scion xB running a catback thermal exhaust. this is not only our part and delivery vehicle but, its aslo used for running customers back and forth as well... we have recieved many compliments on the tuner look and sound and not obnoxious noise. Its functional and cost effective.

 

You can try a ITR axle back. Those are pretty quiet and are 2.25". Im actually looking for one if anyone has one

A side note about the rsr ex mag. It is also has a chambered muffler like the oem ITR exhuast and will not gain much, if any power over the ITR one and the ITR one is cheaper
