Default 5th Gen Exhaust Recommendations

Hey Guys I've been lookin into getting an aftermarket exhaust i seen a few good deals on ebay such as the Hayame and the Apexi N1. If anyone knows anything about these two or recommend any others i would appreciate it. I'm lookin for something that sounds good such as a deep tone and not really loud, would still like to be able to hear my intake over exhaust through out the RPM's. Thanks Mark

Thermal R&D makes the one on my car (FOR SALE). The sound reminds me of my past and the look is more stock in appearance. Whatever you buy-make sure it is 100% stainless steel from the cat back.

Loud: n1

My personal recommendation: RSR Exmag

I like my Thermal R&D

Looks stock and sounds nice


I love the looks of the N1 but I heard it's really loud... I personally still haven't heard it...

But once again... I love the looks of it

N1 is very loud, I kinda regret buying mine. It does look nice though.

Aww C'mon... N1 isn't that loud. Alittle noise never killed anyone.

I guess it's all preference. I don't mind the N1 at all, and if you've ever heard anyone with a 3inch downpipe and exhaust, those effers are LOUD.

You will likely never get pulled over for the thermal, but the N1 really attracts cop attention, so keep that in consideration if you're in a heavily enforced area, or a state/county with extremely strict exhaust regulations.

Can anyone comment on the JDM Hayame system, what it's sounds, looks, quality and fit are ? I have option of this system but don't want to buy it blind and live to regret it.

I have tanabe hyper medalion on my car. I like the exhaust rather quiet but it is a straight through muffler unlike the WS.

BTW what the hell happens to the exhaust thread on here? There has been like 3 or 4 made and they always seem to disappear.

How about the fujitsubo? I've always been interested in this system and will probably purchase it sooner or later.you can hear the exhaust clip on their website...http://www.fujitsubo.co.jp/mc-prod/ (go to exhaust sound on the right and find bb6 prelude under honda)
i think it sounds pretty cool
