im my 88 civic hb i'm wanting to get an exhaust but its to hard to find one that acually fits or looks good, i kinda wanted to tanabe racing medaline full cat-back but they dont make it now i wanted to know if any of you knew of any exhausts that look imilar to that or if a 90-93 integra exhuast might fit dout it but wondering thanks

 

if you like the canister style muffler (racing medallion style), i'd say you should go custom exhaust. just buy a muffler you like, and bring it to the muffler shop and have them do it how you like. i'd recommend that you get a resonator put in as well, that will mellow out the tone, and quiet it down, somewhat. its going to be pretty loud regardless, as those mufflers don't really do much muffling.... lots of people in this forum have custom exhaust set ups, try doing a search to find out the specifics people have done.

 

ok i was thinking of that but would it work just as well as the full catback? what all do i need to do like open the pipes or what? thanks

 

I have a 2.25 inch piping with Flowmaster 60 Series rear section off my car. It will be available in a few days. If you want, I will sell it to you for cheap. I just want it out of here.

 

Do you have any pictures of it? but how cheap and were are you from i would look into it thanks

 

heres a pic of my apex'i N1 and i have 2 1/2" piping anll the way back w/o a resenator.... but im turbo so it isnt that loud... but when i pull th eturbo off it will be loud as hell!!!!!

ok so what you guys are telling me is that i can just buy a canister (muffler tip) and just upgrade the piping size and it will work like if it was a full exhuast?

 

Here you go for the pics.

it will work more or less as well as a bolt on cat back exhaust... the goal is to reduce backpressue, but maintain exhaust velocity. so larger diameter piping will help, but you don't want to go too big. 2 1/4" diameter is about right for a typical four cylinder. one thing about the custom exhaust vs. bolt on is that you won't get mandrel bent piping (constant diameter through bends). while that is nice, in my opinion it is not that critical. custom exhausts work great.

 

heh heh i like the paper idea
i usually hate all tips, but yours looks pretty good
