I recently purchased a EM2, the basic set up is for it to be light in weight, mature in exhaust tone, and basically being prepped for a k20 swap (next year). I prefer a deep tone, and a mature one; which has led me to looking into the Tanabe exhaust all of which have a 100mm outlet pipe. Currently the car is rather low, on a custom suspension and has undertaken a few other modifications, none which include any type of change to the rear 01 civic bumper, in except to making it closer to the ground.

What are some opinions here about the best exhaust choice I can make for this car, and what will have that clean fitment with the stock rear bumper. Are there any particular exhaust recommendations for sound and fitment?

Thanks

 

Greddy Evo2 Catback! that's my favorite..my setup is similar to it..same pipe diameter with a custom catback and OBX EVO style muffler..

 

If you are planning to do a k20 swap I'd recommend getting an exhaust system with at least 2 1/2 inch pipe diameter (inner diameter would be ideal) to gain the full power potential of the motor.

My suggestion would be to try the new falcongsr.com exhaust systems. You can fully customize your exhaust system including size of piping, number of resonators, and exhaust muffler. Based on their pictures I think that they product looks top quality! I wish i had that option a few years ago.

 

tyry the DC5 exhaust, direct fitment without modification, looks OEM too.

uhm sorry there will be a modification needed

 

In order to run a DC5 exhaust, you will need it to be extended at least 3" in the mid-pipe section, as well as, at least 7" on the axle-back section.

Also, most of the available EM2 exhausts have been listed in the FAQ's.
