My project crx has some rice *** muffler on it that sounds absolutely horrible. I need to put something together for inspection. I do not have 500 dollars to spend right now and will worry about getting a quality exhaust when I get deeper into my plans. I am looking for a stockish or atleast somewhat stock method that is cheap. What have you guys pieced together to sound stockish, or just a bit "throatier". I know you all know how tough it is to find an actual stock crx exhaust in good condition.

My next question, can anyone give me a rough estimate of how much I would be paying to get custom mandrel bent piping at a local shop?

The vehicle is a 91 crx si with a d16a6. Thank you

 

Just find a stock axle back for inspection, and then worry about it later.

<-- Running stock exhaust 4 motors later

 

yes this is basically what im doin, however I havent had any sucess finding any local for cheap. Do any other mufflers mount up to the stock hangers, like the 90-93 teg, hatch, accords? And since i'm gonna have this one on for awhile, I would still like mayb a BIT more powerful sound than just the stock muffler, but I gues I can take care of that with different piping..Anyone know the answer to my question above on custom piping?

 

ok heres what i did, i have a 4 door and instead of waistin money on a ricey exhaust iwent to a muffler shop in my area and had the guy 2.5" pipping and just a resonator and had it off the right side just hidin above the bumper barely pointing down, cant tell i have an exhaust, not loud when normal driving and it sounds nice and deep.oh I only spent $80, done in less than an hour.mufflers are pointless.

EXACTLY the kind of answer I was looking for, thanx man...

What else have you guys done?

 

go to junk yards....got one for my crx back in the day for 30 bucks..cat back all factory off of a hatch

 

i rock the diy custom magnaflow on my ef hatch

 

damn I picked up a junkyard exhaust for $15 a few months ago.

All the shops around here are between $200-$300 for custom pipes.

 

exhaust shops around here will do non mandrel bends for like 6 bucks a foot on exhaust and charge pipes.

 

it helps to know people that know the person that owns the shop ahaha, under the table baby.
