Wassup guys, I'm planning to buy an exhaust soon, but dont kno a cheap place to get it from. Money is an issue, so i was think about getting the Apex N1 muffler or the Fireball muffler and have custom piping. Anybody know where i can get either one of those muffler for a good price? and how much should the custom piping cost? BTW its for a 96 civic ex coupe. Thanks.

 

ur plan sounds good do that

 

5Zigen mufflers for $200 and Apexi Mufflers for $285 available in a variety of colors. If you have any questions just ask.



P.S. Full 5 Zigen catbacks for $425

Prices do not include shipping

 

Could save lots of money by just unbolting exhast at the track

 

hopefully this thread will get some more traffic. OK i just found out lastnight i can get custom piping done pretty dang cheaply, however its not mandrel bent. Now, it is bent in a way where there is no crushing or wrinkles in the piping, would this be worth it? I am trying to find a cheap good sounding exhaust...was thinking this custom piping and an es oval....maybe a slightly better muffler...any suggestions?

 

buy the apex n1 from

then get custom piping

 

loud=

 

if you get custom piping , it wont do **** for you unless its mandrel bent , if its not , all its gonna do is have a bling factor of 10 and noise factor of 8 , no performance

 

wtf are u talking about? how is non mandrel bent custom piping bling? If i was going for bling, i'd have either $800 full cat-back or custom mandrel bent piping. I would be doing this cause its CHEAP!
does anyone who really knows about exhaust know if this is worth it? or should i just say **** it, spend an extra $200 and buy a full cat back and have it a bit quieter and slightly more free flowing. ?

 

I would not worry about mandrel bent piping unless you get a greddy cat back etc.....

differences are very small when comparing mandrel bent to the crush bent.....unless you are trying to squeeze each and every pony out of your car...get the cheaper exhaust and thow a resonator on it...should sound nice and deep....

 

JIC bullet love mine

 

well, I'll probably have a kakimotoR catback for sale that should fit your car, full stainless mandrel bent.. i think it'll just be a bit more than those muffler prices.. depending when/if I can jimmy an itr catback under my car..

 

you are wrong.
mandrel is worlds better than shitty crush bent , you may as well keep your stock piping if you're going with crush bent.

 

N1 and fireball are way to loud
Do yourself and everybody else a favor and get something like apexi ws you can pick up the whole catback for around 350

 

Straight pipe out the side yo.

 

where? and will the exhaust bolt up when i do my swap? I will probably swap a JDM B16 SiRII...

 

ok your an idiot , you ovbiously know nothing . why does everyone go the cheap way out i dont understand it , what the **** is the point of fixing a car up , you want to put performance mods on your car , well do **** that actually improves , i know money is an issue , save up for another month if you need to , its better to get good parts . and what do you mean dont worry about mandrel bent unless you get greddy , who gives a **** about greddy

 

if you just want sound , go to a muffler shop , get the cheapist muffler you can find , a duel dtm tip , dont even get custom piping , just a muffler and tip , please get a duel dtm tip

 

if I only had a $1 for every thread that starts every day asking what exhaust to run on my ride......................

not that I am the best authority to say this, but search first, there are TONS of threads with valid arguments for all types of exhausts and why that is is better than this one,etc.

 

this might help

Greddy or one of those high quality exhausts.......did you miss the ECT. after that or what......

so what...you mean to tell me that your whole car is made up of good perforamnce mods.....and your not on a budget??

we do not all have money like you......to buy top notch products....why did you buy a honda civic???...man i shoulda saved and bought an NSX....

maybe i want crush bent....100 bucks better than 400.....buy your mandrel bent and ill buy and exhaust and a header, filter....

I would really like to see some dyno charts of how much of a difference mandrel bent piping and crush bent piping is....if there is a big difference then my bad.....ill save some money and get some mandrel bent piping....

from my experience i have seen tons of cars without mandrel bending that are pretty damn fast........

 

i just figured since there was an exhaust question, id ask bout the custom piping and mufler since its cheap.....its different than most comparison threads now....so i'd like some responses... and yes i know mandrel bending is better than crush, but this isnt crushed (my roommate just got it done and there are no crushes/wrinkles in the pipe), so i just wondered if it was a decent alternative to a really expensive cat-back

 

what?! unless your going for absolutely all out power of your engine, trying to get every last little hp out, the differnence is very small


Go with custom, crush bent piping and a magnaflow muffler. You will be pleased.

Probably would cost about $200 - $275.

 

go wiht the world sport...its under 400 shipped...and you get quality and stock look and nice sound...not really loud...Just imo

 

Colored Mufflers?!?! Who would've thought? Can you say the new rice fad?
