Default Which catback exhaust?

I am considering the DC Sport, Thermal, and Greddy SP. It is for a 90 CRX Si with a B16A swap. In terms of sound quality, looks(tip size - I haven't seen what any of them look like on CRX's), and ease of installation, which do you all prefer. I will be running a custom race pipe so base the noise level on that. Thanks.

The thermal is what I have. Excellent build quality, excellent sound, no problems fitting it on to the chassis. The only thing I wish is that it didn't have the 4" tip on the end, that is the one thing that annoys me, but overall

so far the best price i found was a thermal(which I am leaning towards anyway) for 495 shipped from Manchester Honda. Any clue on what the tips of the exhausts look like and if they all have the muffler running parallel with the bumber like it is stock.

thanks for all the replys and pics. I think I am going to get the thermal, as they are the only ones that responded to my email to each company and I like the looks of them.

I've heard about the HKS muffler for the CRX. Its supposed to be aluminised steel. Somehow I think it might be similar to what Mugen used to offer for the CRX Si and SiR but I might be mistaken. The exhaust is a twin tailpipe unit and could have been an OEM fitting in certain markets. Not too sure about that though.

Lowest price I've found...TorteX might be able to beat that? That would be a sweet deal.

Thermal is where its at. I think us Thermal owners should petition them for a version without the tip!!!

I love my thermal to death, but the tip is too large. Its one of the nicer tips out there though IMO. All of the 2 1/4" systems have the 4" tip since it was asked above.
