The exhaust has just rusted through on my wife's 98 HX. It's mre likely from sitting than from use (car has 40k miles on it).

I want to replace it, and I'm hoping you could give me some advice on where to look. Here's what I'm looking for:

Full stainless.
Cat-back.
Not too Loud.
I'd prefer a small-ish single polished outlet.

This car has the CVT auto, I'm not looking for much of a performance gain, but Midas around here will bend me over to the tune of at least $300 for one of their crap replacements anyway - so may as well just get something nice.

The one I've found so far that seems to fit the bill is DC Sports. I went to Thermal's site but they don't have pics of the individual systems.

Any help appreciated (yes, I searched)

Thanks,

Sorry to bump this, but I know someone here knows a thing or two about exhausts for this car.

Thermal is a very good exhaust. But it is VERY LOUD! My boy has it on his ITR. I can heard him comin' a mile away.

 

I was looking at the Thermal Stealth. I finally found a few pictures of the tip installed and it doesn't look obnoxious at all. I know the best for quiet would be the Apexi WS, but I'd hate to spend $400 on another exhaust to let it rust out so I want a stainless setup.

How does the Thermal Stealth compare to the DC sports cat-back sound-wise? Not the TCS, the regular DC Sports.
