I'm an exhaust freak, as I'm counting I've already used seven diffent exhaust system my prelude

Here's the history of systems that I have owned in the past:

RS*R Exmag (ceramic)-> RS*R Exmag (stainless) -> Greddy EVO I-> Tanabe Ultra Medalion -> T1R -> SARD MIG w/ SMSP tubing

and finally today: HKS Hi-Power Ti w/ SMSP tubing

They each have their pros and cons, these info might be helpful for your next exhaust:

RS*R Exmag (ceramic/stainless)
Pros: Quiet and subtle design
Cons: Not straight-through design, ceramic piping rusted on me just after 1 year

Greddy EVO I
Pros: Deep sound, straight-through design, works well with Type S/Stage 1 cams
Cons: Heavy exhaust, bottleneck at the flange, ceramic piping

Tanabe Ultra Medalion
Pros: Very lightweight exhaust, stainless piping with titanium muffler construction, straight- through design.
Cons: Very loud exhaust tone, bottleneck at the flange

T1R
Pros: 63mm ID piping, no bottleneck at the flange, full stainless construction.
Cons: Exhaust tip is too thin which looks odd from the back

SARD MIG w/SMSP tubing:
Pros: Inner valve design that maintain back pressure at low end, while opening up at WOT for full power. Rare JDM race muffler.
Cons: Very loud exhaust tone, needs custom piping to fit, very pricey.

HKS Hi-Power Ti w/ SMSP tubing:
Pros: Full stainless construction with Titanium tip, welds are tight and perfect, exhaust note is deep and not overly loud for N1.
Cons: Needs custom piping to fit, pricey

 

Thanks for the info dude. I will personally take this thread into consideration when buying my new exhaust when I start boosting.

 

Is the stainless exmag the same as the old painted one? Basically I am inquiring because the old one they don't make anymore, but it seems the stainless version is finally available.

 

i prefer the buddy club straight pipe exhaust for turbo..its loud as ***** but if you are racing its a good 60hp boost
