Default Looking for an exhaust system for an 03 k20a3

Any ideas?
Opinions?
I was looking at the Greddy Racing Ti-C Exhaust
But the blue tip will throw off a black rsx IMO
So yeah only interested in looks, and gain (isnt everyone?)
HKS Hi-Power looks good too

I have a Magnaflow on my EP3. I think it sounds amazing. System comes with a resonator so it is relatively quiet but sounds really nice at full throttle high RPMs. Even guys with Subies (which have pretty sweet exhaust sounds) and other way nicer cars have commented on my exhaust. And the best part is... Compared to a lot of other exhaust systems I have seen and heard there is NO RASP! None of that high RPM buzzing fart can noise and it is pretty bearable on the highway too. Check it out on you tube or if you need I can send you a video.

I have the Skunk2 Mega Power system with RH and it sounds great in my opinion.

Why? It'll be pretty raspy.

Flow better yeah, but that extra flow isn't gonna make a K20A3 have 200whp

I disagree also. I tried that, and it sounded alright for awhile but then when you interstate drivin all you hear is the exhaust, no stereo or anything. I have the HKS Hi-Power on mine and it does great, I left the silencer in to keep it a lil' quieter. FYI if you are putting an aftermarket catback on and you have aftermarket sway bars, they may rattle against eachother a lil, I used header wrap around my exhaust piping and it worked pretty decently.

A true straight through resonator won't restrict the flow enough to make a difference. And if it makes the car bearable at highway speeds and not have an ungodly drone it is worth it. I will try to get clips of the Magnaflow for you.

RESONATORS FTW!

Just got to youtube.com and type in "civic si magnaflow" those are all pretty much EXACTLY what it sounds like. It is really sick! Just watch all the videos.
