I'm about to buy a new cat-back for my CRX (2nd gen), and i'm trying to decide what to buy. My friend has a Del Sol with a modified Thermal Classic on it, and i'm seriously considereing going with that. It has a real deep tone, and doesn't get buzzy or anything at high rpms, which is a plus. Does anyone have a Thermal on your CRX? If you have something else, tell me how you like it. I don't mind loud, but not so loud where every cop in the area can hear me a mile away.

i have a thermal on my crx, and i love it, its great, it sounds wonderful, i get complaments on it all of the time.

 

I haven't had any experience with the thermal exhaust, but my friend had a GReddy one on his CRX si. It sounded good,and looked quite nice. Had a deeper tone than a lot of systems I have heard.

 

5ZIGEN Fireball axle back, pacesetter piping. sounds great!!!!!!!! quiet till you hit about 4000rpms and over at wot. Nice and quiet on the daily drive. Couldnt be happier, if noise is an issue you could just get a resonator added to the exhaust.

 

I kinda leaning towards going with a stainless steel. Thats why i was giving the thermal serious consideration. I have heard stories about so-called stainless systems that are not 100% stainless, and rust apart where the piping goes into the muffler section... Thats something i want to avoid.

 

Rusted piping going into the muffler? You mean like this...?



How you like THEM apples?!? Heheheh...

That, by the way, WAS a Bosal Brospeed exhaust. Had a VERY nice sound all around, but look what happened!

 

go with thermal, definately the highest quality for the buck. I have a Greddy SP, its alright but has a lot of rust, the piping's very thick so im not worried about it rusting apart anytime soon tho.

 

anyone have any experience with the 3" Thermal exhaust on their turbo crx? I want to get a full 3" system for my turboed b16 rex, but, dont want to have that FART sound.

 

Yep, thats exactly what i'm trying to avoid. I havn't had one rust out all the way yet, but i don't want to find out. So raeneshadow, what did you replace it with?
