If it goes under the LCA, then it wouldn't follow the stock piping route.

Now that I think about it lol...

Right now I have the Apexi World sport and it to quiet, like stockish.
I don't like the way traditional cans look on honda's, most look rice. The under control arm give it like a different apperince.

Are there and more detailed sight?

So you want to make more noise and get noticed?

Go look in the Appearance/Cosmetic forum.

No.. thats a wrong assumption.
I want a more sportier sound, But if for that I have to settle with a can I want some thing you don't see every day.

Here's my car when I used to have the RS*R GT-II:







Yes ... my car used to suck.

Anyways, the exhaust sounds really good, but it's louder than ****. It also rides really really low to the ground. I had about a 2" drop, and I would scrape on every dip and speedbump.

That was one of the down falls I was told about, I think I would drag on every thing also.
This is why I wanted to see a pic. ( thanks ) See how yours sticks out from the bumper about 3in or so. Do they all do this? And I thought the can might be a little bigger then that.. No affense but it kinda looks like some thing you would get from auto zone or pep boys.

It was a quality piece (as far as construction). It was just not what I was looking for. It's kind of a track-only application, and even as such, there's better track exhausts out there.

I dislike that kind of exhaust too. Right now, I have a Tanabe SM Hyper, and it's the best exhaust I've ever had:

I don't think having your exhaust going under the control arm is going to make it any sportier dude.

Just go for an Apexi N1 since you allready have a WS2. I have it and I love it.

You think that exhaust looks better than the RS*R one I posted?

That one was purchased at Pep Boys, and it looks like they fabbed this horrible axleback system that goes from the stock piping, loops down, and back over. Restrictive, SUPER low, and ridiculous.

Seems to me you didn't read every thing I wrote.

I said that I wanted an exhaust that would be a little louder then what I got.. Something with more of a tone to it. The only thing I can find is in a can exhaust.
Now I don't like how normal "coffee can' exhaust look. So If I'm going to get stuck with having a can exhaust I want some thing different. Hense the UCR setup that I am asking about.

All though if you have a picture of this exhaust on your car, I might listen lol

I'll warn you that that low spot has a tendency to bump everything. The RSR one also rubs against the gas tank.

If you want a good sounding exhaust, that exits from an upward angle, then i would add this to your choices.

Here is my Megan Drift Spec catback on my LX 4 door.



The muffler is about the same as an HKS hi-power muffler and it has NEVER gotten raspy in the year and a half i owned it...$354 shipped from http://www.bishopmotorsports.com.

I have also never scraped with this exhaust even with the car about another inch lower than it is in that picture.

The pic of the red one looks like Megan Racing Drift spec exhaust.. thats what I have on my hatch and I love it. Has a slight angle to it, looks and sounds great. Doesnt scrape too bad at all. I have never heard another honda sound like mine lol.. It sounds like a STI with aftermarket exhaust. It is pretty loud tho, but I am running a Test pipe as well. Also the exhaust has a built in resignator

I DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!

Why do you want it to go under the control arm so bad?

No one sees that unless they get on all fours.
