hey guys i need some help in choosing an exhaust for my 93 civic hatchback. my budget is between $250 and $400 i don't want something real loud ineed something that sounds good for that budget range any advice please let me know thanks.

 

2 1/4 inch piping from manifold back into a 3 inch magnaflow power tube and a 4 inch turndown. that's what i run anyway. has a nice bass tone to it and doesn't sound like a pissed off weedeater like most honda's. but then again, i'm not your typical honda owner..

 

had a skunk2 test pipe, 2.25 piping, with a oem itr muffler on my dc very quiet

 

uhhh engine? build plan?

if its a B 2.5-3in(2.5 will be quieter but 3 will perform better) in with resonators and mufflers. regardless of what anyone tells you there are tons of dynos proving even on a stock b16 a 3 in outperforms everywhere.

if its a D don't bother until you turbo it.

as for what to do go to kteller/vrs(kteller gets it from VRS). get the piping kit then source out resonators and a muffler. mine cost a little over 400 when it was all said and done.

 

i went with a borla dual tip..running factory from header to axle back with only a slight modification right after the CAT i have a cherry pipe welded on (bought car that way) but i welded on the borla dual tip from axle back to bumper.. its not to loud but has a deep tone to it when accelerating but quiet when idling, doesn't sound like a mad weed wacker. the borla only cost me $6 at local junk yard the car i pulled it from was just brought in after an accident, it was on a mazda protege.

 

For that prince range. I would look into a yonaka catback. Really depends on what you want to do with the car though.

 

or get a vibrant sleeper muffler. like $120 or something. Thats what i did, and i love it. i got the 2.5 inch tip. Its nice and has a deep tone. None of that ricer ebay stuff. and at above 5500 rpms you cant really hear it!
