I have a 1994 Honda Prelude Si and I bought the car from a guy in Autotrader. The thing is the guy had previously had a muffler shop weld him an Exhaust system, which sounded raspy because it did not have a resonator; lesson learned don't remove the resonator on preludes.

I decided this was no big deal and I would buy a new exhaust, I looked at countless Exhaust Systems for the Prelude but nothing really showed up to my liking. I stumbled upon the Apexi GT Spec Exhaust System while looking at Apexi's website for the N1. Nobody really has any reviews on this product, so I decided to give it a go; not knowing what I would expect.

I ordered my exhaust system from GRUPPE-S for $550 and in two weeks, I picked it up. First impression was that it looked really nice, shining with full stainless steel; the quality of the welds was amazing. Apexi makes this Exhaust for the 92-96 prelude and it fits all models, the only problem I had was that it came with only three screws; I had to go buy some more at Lowe's but besides that i'm really satisfied with the built quality. It also came with a silencer that reduces sound decibels by 7; It is mandrel bent with 2.5 piping.

After I installed the Exhaust I was amazed at how good it sounded, not ricy at all. It sounds deep and loud; it almost sounds like a subaru. At Woot, it really screams this exhaust would really please prelude owners who like deep and loud sounding exhaust systems, it has some drone but not much. Will post pictures and a sound clip once I get around to doing so.

My setup is a stock car, with a stock cat.

You need new valve seals.

 

sounds nice, though too loud for my taste.

After the car' had been idling, when you got on the gas, there was what looks like a big puff of blue smoke. That's indicative of leaking valve seals.
