What is a good type/ Good sounding catback exaust system for a 02 Civic LX?

I just got this car a month ago, and it came with some aftermarket muffler, and its too big, and its ugly and it doesn't sound all that good, but I want to go with a whole catback system. And would it void my warranty

Also my car has projector headlights, a aftermarket grill (waiting to paint the lip of it), aftermarket tail lights, tint, and Monday I am getting some 18" Gunmetal wheels put on. But what are some good appearance mods that I should do to it?



Those pictures are without the wheels obviously, and the grill hasn't been put in, in those pictures either.

 

Anyone? Anyone?

 

REMOVE THE LIGHTS - please

 

Which lights?

Taillights - I don't like them very much either, but they came on the car, and I don't have the money to waste to get some better ones.
Headlights - I like the headlights.

But please suggest some other things that I could do to make the car look better.

And a good catback exaust?

 

you can go to a junk yard and get cheap oem tail lights.

magnaflow makes a really good cat back system.

Magnaflow sounds good.

Modifications will void warranty only if the part you replaced adversely affected something else, i.e. if you get a catback your dealer cant void or deny you service on your transmission.

Get rid of the lights as well. If youre putting on the 18's please get some sort of suspension setup.

 

You have a few options for exhaust on that car. My personal choice would be a
Greddy Evo2. But there's Invidia, Skunk2, Apex-i, etc. Good luck!

 

On the suspension note. Won't that void my warranty?

If what you are telling me is true. This means:

If I get an exaust, they can't deny service on my motor, but just the exaust?

 

Yeah you'll void your suspension warranty... Ex: shocks/struts, Im sure LCA/control arms and stuff to that nature. Im sure the exhaust could void your cat warranty if there is one, and other exhaust parts obviously.

 

ditch the altezzas and the tint...
Wheels and lower sounds good
Dont get a fart can, get somthing stock and modest looking. the big *** can has been done so many times!

That ^ is the law, but the dealers will still try to screw you. They're bastards so be ready. I have the Apexi N1 and i love it. Very low tone at low rpms when its loudest, after that my intake is all i can hear. No noticeable performance gains though.
