honestly man, your gonna prob. get alot of people saying it ricey and all, but how i look at it, is its your car build it for you and not for other people, if you like it go for it.......my car has a apexi n1 catback, and i get 80% of people say "yo thats rice"

ricey as FAF. thats also a whole muffler not just a tip. 4 in is way huge.

it'll be loud as a train.
canisters are horrible mufflers.

buy a system from vrs. new res and muffler. don't drift slant it. this isn't a 240sx.

but it is your car. i have ricey tail lights, but OEM just look horrid to me.

I have a cherry bomb dual resonator set up. It's mellow but throaty and I get awesome flow. I never got the point of exhaust tips?

You're picking a muffler based on what it looks like? No tech here.

That's the worst thing you could possibly do.
Stock engine? You won't see any performance gains. Get the quietest muffler you can find.

If you can find one, I'd recommend a muffler from Silverline
Got one on my Civic, sounds mellow and low at idle, deep when accelerating, and only really raspy at redline

It's your car, so if you think it looks good, go ahead. Just a warning though, you will likely be pulled over for loud exhaust and you don't even benefit from an exhaust like that since you'll only gain 1-2hp over a quieter system.

It sounds like you already have a system, so I'd suggest finding a different muffler to keep the exhaust quieter and if you don't already, a resonator will help cut the higher pitch raspy sound to achieve a more mellow tone.

For mufflers, the eBay twin loop, any OEM muffler (GSR, ITR, RSX-S), the turbo/super turbo mufflers from Summit or Jegs, or an Apexi WS2 or the knockoff Yonaka muffler will all sound quieter.

I painted my muffler black since it was chrome. And the Yonaka muffler has a large tip, so I intend to get a short mandrel bent piece of stainless tubing to weld on to make a turned down tip eventually. However my car is a street car I intend to keep as low key as possible, so what I am after may be different than others.
