Default 96 Hond Civic

I have looked all over the place on the net, google, ebay, nopi, etc. and i have not been able to find any good deals on any catback for my car. I just want a simple looking catback that has a nice deep tone, nun of that ricy poppin stuff that buzzezzzzz. So if anyone knows where i can get one of those from on the net, like a good site or something, please let me know. I have been wanting to go on and purchase one and i finally will have the money now that i have a new job now. And so yeah please help!

Also ----->> Does (test pipe) go in the place of a catylitic converter on a catback system? what difference does it make with it on or with out one?

ebay is the best place for a deal on exhaust systems. they are not expensive on there. yes the test pipe replaces the cat and in turn will make your exhaust a little louder.

If you want cheap/good sounding/performance, just go to a muffler shop and buy a magnaflow muffler and have them make a mandrel bent catback for you.

ok so i think that a n1 style exhaust on ebay for about $200.00 is good....simply because i know a guy that got one and it sounds good and deep and he said it really opened up his integra. Is $200.00 too cheap......or what......i mean its hard not to be tempted to buy a cheap one like that instead of a $400-$500 skunk2 or hks or something......so whats a good price? and whats the difference in them ...its all piping and a muffler at the *** end right? i just wanna know so i dont screw up and buy a p.o.s.

buy an Apexi WS2, they go for like $400. a very quite exhaust well worth the money, but you can hear nicely when you get on the gas.

The materials used in the exhaust piping, how it's bend, etc.. play a large part in the quality of the part, the 'slight' performance gains, how it sounds, etc... Don't buy ebay exhaust parts..

You should get a good sounding muffler and go to an exhaust shop and have them make you a catback.

If you have a d-series I wouldn't waste my time on a catback.

Money better spent towards buying a turbo.

But the Megan Drift spec is a good deal on ebay, and it's got a nice tone.

Personally I don't like loud hondas at all. Anytime I hear a loud 4 banger I twinge.
