Default quiet exhaust systems, or mufflers. yes i searched.

i know there are a million of these threads. which exhaust to get, which header.. blah blah blah. i've searched. but nothing.. i currently have a 4th gen h23. i did custom piping to 2.25 with some cheap megan n1 style muffler and stock cat. it sounds deep but ricey in high rpms. the problem is i think theres a leak somewhere cause i hear that hissing sound when i press the gas. its hard to tell where its comin from. but if anything. i get pulled over wayyy to0o much for that n1 exhaust. now i'm looking for something quiet. i put the silencer on the n1 but it just sounds like ***. so.. should i replace the entire system since its leaking somewhere, or just find the leak, fix it, and change my muffler to something quiet. i already know the world sport is quiet. but what else is out there?

i dont know much about exhaust but ithink the loudness problem is your N1. N1's are generally loud. greddy SP2 is probably my favorite exaust. its not very loud at all and i THINK it has stainless steel piping plus it doesnt hang low so scratching will probably not be an issue with an average drop.

I went through this search for a while because who the hell wants to buy an exhaust when you don't even know what it sounds like¿!

People were tying to tell me what to go with by their preferences. Don't listen to them, search for audio clips to hear the sounds yourself and then you will be able to decide. I had a chance to hear the RSR, Mugen, HKS, Flowmaster, and a few others. The RSR looks good (Stock looking) but sounded kind of raspy.

The Mugen is the best sounding (not too loud) exhaust I have heard for the 5th gen Prelude, very clean. They are expensive but you have to pay to play.

ive got the megan N/A catback, on my 5th gen, and its not loud at all.. and not ricey at all.. and a friend has the real apexi N-1 cat back on his integra, and its quieter than my megan

i also have a original Evo axel back, that i put onto my stainless piping, and its INSANELY loud.. but i think all the sound deadening material from inside blew out..

P.S. Evo2 = awrsome

they are about the same, but i have never heard the RSR in person. i have the WS2

to the origional poster....you might be able to put a world sport univeral muffler on your existing 2.25 piping to save you some money. http://www.apexi-usa.com/produ...Num=1

Search the net, Prices vary between distributors. Avoid a company called Import Replacement Parts, I bought my WS2 from them and it took 3 months to get to me.

How about the Tanabe Medallion Concept G.
http://www.tanabe-usa.com/exhausts/conceptg.asp

They claim max output of 93db. I've always been a fan of the N1 but they are just soo loud. This might be a good alternative.
