Get a shop to make you a 2 1/2'' exhaust with whatever muffler you want. If you don't want a crap sound get a resonator and magnaflow (or similar) muffler.

Get a mod to make this NOT an open poll, btw were's the tech?

I will vouch for this guy, and thermal R&D as well. Very well built, great sounding exhaust. I would buy another one.

way too big for n/a! lose lots of power. gt spec is for turbo applications.
the stock size exhaust on a stock motor is that size for a reason.

just go with a custom mandrel bent exhaust from a local muffler shop....I got mine done on my old hatch for 370 out the door(that included a new cat and modifying the header to a 2.5" collector....I provided my own muffler) total cost (including thre muffler that I bought on here was under 450. not bad for 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust, a new cat and getting the header modified to 2.5"...certainly cheaper than most aftermarket systems.

Since you're letting your money burn a hole in your pocket, why don't you just send it to me, because you obviously have no clue how to spend it or to save it . . . otherwise why would you start a poll asking us to tell you what to buy?

i've had an Apexi n1 on my 99 ex coupe and i loved it

after that car got jacked, i got an 00 integra and it has an Apexi GT spec catback. i love it even more

the 2.5 is pretty big for a stock motor. i could feel a top end difference on my butt dyno. since i put in my silencer (my gf ) my butt dyno feels the low end a lot more than it use to...top end is still there as well. but obviously the GT spec is not a cheap catback.

no need for a 3inch thermal if you're not going turbo.

to Apexi products.

Like many suggested... i PERSONALLY would just get a muffler and go to a shop to custom make the piping. Add resonator if you think its too loud etc. I myself got an APexi WS with custom pipe... its sweet! looks pretty good also.

apexi ws 2 or greddy sp2. both look clean, not ricey, and sound nice and deep. the sp2 is a bit louder than the ws but similar physically. you dont want the thermal, i had it on my gsr and it sounded good for awhile but after about 6 months it got really buzzy and obnoxious, not what you want. best bet is the ws or the sp2
