Default went from a 5zigen fireball exhaust to a stock GSR exhaust on my 95 civic

I've had the 5zigen fireball catback system on my 95 civic for the longest time. the underside of the muffler developed a hole becuz it rubbed each and every time i went up and down a driveway due to my 3 1/4" drop. so temporarily i took the rear section of my dad's stock GSR exhaust and bolted it onto the rest of the catback system. and it surprisingly fit perfectly. i also did it becuzz i want to look stock. cops are getting strickter here in southern cali. they'll pull u over for anything. do u guys think this affected the performance at all?

I would say it'll effect the performance because the GSR exhaust is restricting the air flow. The 5zigen should give you more air flow not to mention bigger diameter piping.

with the gsr exhaust your gonna get more restriction, but you might feel alittle bit more back pressure. I say you go with the stock exhaust because those canister mufflers will get you a ticket.

raise your car to a functional/acceptable ride height and you wont have any more problems . once you try a good susp set up, and feel how a car that was set up well handles, you wont have ny desires to go so low anymore
