Hey guys, new member here and pretty new to the whole car would. Picked up a 1989 honda civic hatchback dx and I was wondering what is a good affordable exhaust system?

 

Hi !

For a civic I would go with the HKS R-2 Sport.
Would have orderded it for my CRX if it fitted without cutting and welding.

 

x2 on the HKS Sport, if you have a stock engine and want a quiet but sporty exhaust its the best way to go. Sounds great, but it is smaller diameter piping so it will be restrictive if you are planning on future upgrades.

If you have a welder, a cheap option would be to go with any of the generic stainless exhausts on ebay and weld in a vibrant muffler and resonator.

 

Thanks for the reply, I noticed on the page for the hks that was mentioned, it said it'll fit the si version but will it also fit the dx version because that's what I have?
Another thing, is there anything out there on the market with a larger piping diameter?

 

Si and dx are near as makes no difference, it should fit.
if you have a stock engine and are not planning a complete swap, then larger piping would be entirely inadvisable.
