Default Need Your Opinion

Hey guys i got a 95 si hatchback, and ive been hearing all this talk about ES Oval Mufflers and how they sound good, so i think it's time i got an exhaust. I was wondering should if i should go 2.25" or 2.5"? i plan on getting a header and high flow cat later on, but i just have an intake, removed muffler and some other **** for now. but your opinion would be much appreciated

a sound clip or a vid would be nice also

oh yeah and a pic




the accord

I had ES oval on my hatch (see sig) with a full system and it was ear ringing inside the cabin. Switched to RSR much more mellow tone better for daily driving I think. But if you like noise inside your head go for the ES. Plus side: ES looks stock when installed, besides the 2.25" exit.

pic *****.

2.25" if your staying all motor. 2.5" is too big, not enough backpressure. your engine won't sound good, itll be too deep, not enough "muscle" to backup that 2.5" piping. 2.25" should sound better.

No sound clip...sorry, I would go with the RSR, looks better, doesnt leave black **** on your bumper. ES will get polices attention especially when you "get on it"
