I run a Trust exhaust on my 89 CRX Si and it has a nice deep tone and has lasted 4 years so far with no problems

From what i have heard being greedy makes people not like you anymore???

anyways, i went custom 2.25" all the way through without a resonator to an obx muffler, nice and deep. But if your not going turbo or a serious n/a setup than it really won't make any difference. HIH

Try a Magnaflow (or Dynomax) muffler with 2.25" piping and a resonator. This setup will sound good on any car, and is half the price of the name brand systems. The gains are equal b/c they're both so small; an exhaust helps very little for power increase, and is definitely not worth spending $500 on.

it sound like you customize it more than it's pre-made. and i thought greddy only makes 2.25

I run the mx greddy, I think it was worth 470 bux. Because I changed my muffler like 3 times on my custom job, and every muffler sounded like ****. Ryan

Except that the WS will not work with the ST rear sway bar, have to be careful of that if you are running one. The MX clears it but might rub on occasion. Id go with the Greddy MX.

I'll vouch for greddy's mx also, I have one and love it. It's quiet during cruising...unless you're on the highway at like 4k (typical si tranny ) But it's great, maybe once I get home I'll snap a pic or two.
