How loud do you want it to be?

If you want something not too loud the RS*R Ex Mag and Apexi WS2 are good quiet ones. From what I've read the Greddy SP2 and Tanabe Hyper Medallion are both alittle louder.

+1 For the RS*R Ex Mag. Thats is the only exhaust I will put on my car. I, after holding out for months finally found a place that has em at a good rate, truehonda.com has it for $502 shipped. Every other place wanted over $600 without shipping. YaY

I don't think it's worth wasting the money for sound and probably 1-3hp.

i hope your kiddin, because ebay "JDM" catback is bullshit and a ripoff. if you want cheap, go with megan racing. next step up is magnaflow. after that, it's off to the races with greddy, apexi, skunk2, tanabe, rsr, dc sports, 5zigen, hks, etc...

Actually, what I meant was more towards KNOWN brands.. name brands like Tsudo (which has been in the business for about as long, if not longer than Megan Racing).

As a matter of fact, I've have a Tsudo N1 installed on my 94 Accord for 6 years now with no rust or noise alteration issues whatsoever. It only discolored a little, but what stainless exhaust doesn't? I payed $200 shipped eBay baby.

So I guess what I meant to say was, SHOP AROUND! I think most of us will agree that buying an expensive exhaust is basically a waste of money, considering it's mostly for looks and sound and not for power.

You've got to be a real idiot to not notice some of the shitty welds and materials that go into some eBay exhausts. Do some research and shop around, ask questions, and evaluate feedback before you decide to buy.

on your car, all you're getting from an exhaust is noise, add the header (not HEADERS) and it just adds to the noise.
