Default What muffler for JDM type-R in 91 hatch? Let's debate!

What setup would you guys go for?

Here's the info: I have a 91 hatch and will install a 97 JDM type-R engine this winter. I am looking at options for the exaust system. What should I go for? Pre-made catback? Full custom job? All I want is flow, a quiet car and a stock look.

The HKS Sport exhaust is 55mm, and the ITR comes stock with 2 1/4"...so at least get an 2 1/4" exhaust.

DC Sports is 2.5" and is very quiet. Could be painted black to, for that stock look.

Get a very stealthy one.

Sound like you have a killer sleeper on your hands..

Call around find a muffler shop that does mandrel bends. You'll save a ton, and get an exhaust made exactly to the spec you want.

After fooling with countless exhausts/mufflers on my Integra, I finally found a muffler shop that could do mandrel bends how I wanted, for a great price. There's not much in the way of exhausts for the EF. I think Thermal is the only one with a decent diameter, otherwise all the others are roughly 2 1/4".
