Default es oval vs vibrant oval..........

Anyone know the differance between the two besides the price? How's the sound of the es? I'm looking for something deep and aggresive..... The reason I ask is because the es oval is only state side, and the vibrant is in stock at the local store and I can get it for $125 cdn............???

...Ditto...

Here's what it sounds like in the car: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFBLoU5RQ-4

Here's what it sounds like outside of the car: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL46t2jXFmg

My mods are DC Sports ceramic header, stock exhaust piping, & 2.5" vibrant muffler.
I got mine for $108 shipped from here: https://honda-tech.com/zero...age=1 :but I think they're $121 shipped now. I also spent about $40 at the muffler shop having them make a pipe to attach it to my existing 5zigen axle back piping.

Sick Video. As a side note tho with stock piping its fairly quite but if you have any kinda of larger piping its gonna be louder.

I got a magnaflow stainless 2.5 straight thru for $90 from a local exhaust shop. Its basically the same as this es oval your speeking of. I will let you know how it works out tho. I should be putting it on in the next week or so.

if you are just adding the muffler to your oem piping, i think all of them will be alright. but in my past setup, i had a magnaflow 2.25" w/ custom 2.25" piping and only a 14" resonator = pretty damn loud

the longer the resonator will help reduce the sound, i think the civic can take 22" the longest.

Actually, my motor consist of a stock B18C5 block, GSR head, JG Edelbrock (IB modified) headers, and so on... The exhaust consis of 2.5" custom piping. Which oval muffler is the quietest?
