if youre talking about best...I dunno..if you're talking about good and decetly priced, then an ES Oval..Get it from Qtkeg6 or e-mail ltrxminded@aol.com He got me a good *** deal..very very cheap...and I was more than happy with it. The most quiet exhaust I've had. I have 2-1/4 inch piping through a 38" resonator mated to the es oval all for less than $250. And the exhaust is a straight through design so you'll feel some pull at high rpms no matter what engine. I think its a must..here's mines...again.

Any aftermarket catback is pretty much gonna give you
the same gains. Basically it comes down to which one
you think looks/sounds better. I have a Tanabe Racing
Medalion myself. Greddy, Tanabe, Apex'i, Skunk 2, are
all about equal. Just find one you like.

N1 sucks on 92-95 hatches if lowered. This is one reason i asked what car this was for. Seems like the topic started isn't responding.

That looks nice, does the ES oval sound the same as the ES N1? Also would it sound Diff. without a resonator

Withought the resonator...you get more high end power...but its kinda loud when you cruise it..with a resonator.....sounds just as quiet as tanabes, greddys, apexs...You cant here it when you're at a steady speed..its almost un noticable..The sound that is....

anybody have an OBX exhaust? i was thinking about getting a cat-back for 100, and it has a resonator. anybody know technical differences between these cheap ones and the expensive stuff? basically all the mods im putting on my car are the cheap *** kind, i could care less whenever i challenge people on quaestions like why is there DC strut bar they spent 200 on any better then my 20$ no-name bar nobody knows what to say. it seems to me there can't be much difference in exhaust, its just stainless steel pipes.
