I've got a 99 EK, with a B16A swap. The exhaust is stock, but with a Apexi N1 muffler, and de-catted.
I was wondering if I could pick up the entire stock cat back exhaust from the same year civic, and put it on my car, would it still be really loud because of the lack of cat? Or would it be much quieter because of the muffler tip?

Edit: should probably mention that the previous owner put on the muffler, not me.

The muffler will quiet it down a lot. It will be slightly louder than stock.

 

Perfect. That's all I wanted to know. Thanks

 

not with the n1. haha the n1 is loud. putting the cat on will make it quieteer but far from stock.
