I am looking for a pretty quite exhaust for my b18 crx. I'd go with a stock crx exhaust but I'm guessing that would cut performace a little too much. If anyone has any ideas I appreciate it.

 

For my B18b, I bought the components I wanted to use and took it to a muffler shop.
I'm using a hi-flow cat, a resonator, a Borla muffler and a resonated tip with 2.25" piping. All said an done I had under $300 in it.
Observations:
- Its completely tolerable to drive for extended periods of time on the freeway. No annoying drone.
- Quiet enough not to attract unwanted attention at idle, partial throttle, below 4000 rpm.
- Above 4000 rpm and full throttle, it starts getting loud enough to notice.
- By 5500 rpm its a full on scream.

Thanks, the only problem is I'm looking for something quiter even when getting on it. Although, I'm guessing that would restrict too much flow. If so, I'll probably try this setup. When wot what kind of sound does it make? Some are more tolerable than others. Thanks

 

get an apexi ws2 its quiet..love mines even when i'm getting on it

 

If you want it quiet, why not do a cut out and stock exhaust?

What resonator/resonator tip/high flow cat/ borla exhaust model did you go with?

 

i have a similar setup on my b16
big magnaflow resonator
dynomax super turbo muffler
2.25 crush bent tubing

its not stock quiet but pretty quiet. when you get on it it is still not really loud, just a little throaty. i have also been told it was the best sounding b16 they have heard.

 

If you want quiet, go with something like a dynomax quiet-flow muffler.... not the highest performing, but really a quiet muffler, and much nicer than stock...cheap too!

 

i have a greddy on my car that im tryin to sell catback. its real quiet. you want it??? trying to sell cheap thanks

 

Alright, I'm thinking about buying this stuff and taking it to a muffler shop. Keep in mind, I'm going for a deeper quite sound that will pass emmisions. Thanks

2.25" Carsound High Flow Cat - This One
2.25" 14" long Performance Resonator This One

You could also try Tanabe Medallion Touring. Its parts of thier under 93 db line. It has a deeper tone to it thats not too loud. Check out the sound clips of the Civic hatch http://www.tanabe-usa.com/soundclips.asp (its in the touring section)
