Default questions about rsx type S muffler and customizing it.

sorry if this is in the wrond section
so my h22 hatch came with legit apexi n1 piping,
and a rsx-s axle back,
I am a fan of the looks, and somewhat of the sound ( just the fact that it is quiet)
now the most info I could get off of here is that it flows good..
I am curious how good, I am interested in the ws2 and the tanabe (touring I belive it is)
style muffler, but I am content with the apexi piping, and have heard the rsx muffler
flows just as good.
does anyone have some legit info or facts or anything to really back this up?


ALSO
I wouldnt mind just keeping it, I like how it looks and the sound isnt that bad.
I semi polished the face of the pan, and I like it.
I am kinda thinking about getting and welding on a different style tip.
maybe something alittle more agressive/ unique looking
something like the tip from a ws2, or a apexi hybrid, or tanabe style tip.
something somewhat like this maybe
(prolly not as big, but same style)

or the hybrid

or the tanabe


as much as I would love to just buy one of those exhaust,
I cant justify the price when I have more than adequate piping,
and what I have heard to be a good flowing muffler


what are your thoughts??

this is the car

IMO i like the quietness. the loud rumbling of and N1 got annoying so i bought a rsr ex mag. i just switch it when i get tired of quiet and want loud...but it looks good on your car. polish the face of the canister and make it shine. u might like it more

yea, I would love to get a exmag, but again I dont want to buy a whole new exhaust when mine is "supposed" to be good enough.
I am looking for insight on specs of the rsx-s muffler

I think I read a while back that the 05-06 muffler is more higher flowing than the one that you have. Also the tip looks better on the newer ones. So you can consider that as one of your choices.
