I had this exhaust on my civic till it got stolen. I found it about 7 years ago for 250 shipped. It had good sound and made good power. For the price (good for a quality full catback) I couldn't complain.

If you go the muffler shop route make sure they do mandrel bent piping not crush bent. otherwise you will probably have worse performance than stock.

or you could go with kteller ad buy all the parts (in whatever size you want) so a muffler shop can weld it up for you.

Werd. Pick up a muffler of your choice, bring it to a shop, and have them do the rest. I had mine redone on my car from a local place, and it only ran me about $110, but I had the muffler already.

I took the muffler and cat to my local shop, he ran all 2.25" OD piping, bent it, installed hangers and hooked everything up for 136 bucks. Should have given him my resonator too because it was raspy as **** above 3800 with just a 12 inch cat and 18 inch magnaflow oval muffler, but with a 27 inch Thrush glasspack thrown in it sounds great now. Had about 350 into the whole thing, but you can use cheaper mufflers and cats.

Your exhaust size post cat does not effect emissions.

A custom job using smaller piping crush bending and non SS metals will drop cost, and quality.

I paid over 250 for just pipes, welded it up myself hand spare hangers full 3" SS.
Metal prices are adjusting down but still quite high.
