Default em1 catback? suggestions...?

hey guys, so im researching catbacks for my em1, and im curious as to one that fits well stock and is reasonably priced? any suggestions?

i was reading into megan racing drift spec But does that come for a em1? i see it for 2d/4dr EX civics not Si,

was hoping to stay at 350 bucks for one, please let me know if you have any suggestions for somthing decent for a good price, my civic is a 00 si stock b16a2 so im looking for somthing that will bolt right up.

Search for different exhausts on YouTube and figure it out yourself. We don't know what sounds best to your ears.

First search please, second $350 is a little low for a good cat-back. You also didn't list your wants like noise level, performance gain, etc... You might want to look into getting a custom exhaust, it might end up a little cheaper. I DONT recommend the megan exhaust I think it sounds farty.

i listed exactly what i wanted to know, i dont care about noise level, i had searched and i was being specific to what i wanted to know, A CHEAP decent exhaust, i could care less about the 600-700 dollar ones because i cant afford it right now, so telling me to search is a waste of time when someone could have easily given a suggestion instead, thanks.

thanks for those who will actually respond to a question without getting their ***** in a knot over searching :D <3

I have the WS2 on my EJ1 with a J's intake and it sounds just perfect! Only $415 for the whole catback.

i've heard that that the StreetPower series from Vibrant sound nice and they're not to pricey either. I've used a couple of their universal mufflers and they seem to be built very well.

btw- i have Apex WS2 on 2 of my Si cars and the Greddy on the other.

Im going to be going with the world sports 2 exhaust on my SI also. Ive searched and found it for an average of 350 so that might be perfect for you. Thats unless you want a loud exhaust because the WS2 is not that loud at all.

The Apexi WS2 sounds awesome but not very loud so I had the muffler removed. I think HKS Hi-Power sounds like crap its really farty sounding.
