i have a 98 civic ex, what would you guys recomend as a good exhaust system for it?

 

one that bolts up to a motor with a little more power ?? Just kidding... something quiet and stealth.... RS*R

 

Apex'i, Greddy, any major brand. Don't get custom piping, get the piping that is made for the muffler. If you can't do that, then get custom 2 1/4 in. cat-back.

 

I have a Brosal/Brospeed on mine, nice sound to it!

 

I like my Skunk2 exhaust.

 

I have a CF R1 with Aluminum Tip. Sounds like a boat at low RPMs, then sounds real good at 5,000+. I don't really recommend it though.

Why do you say don't get custom piping?

 

from what an exhaust specialist told me, custom piping is not specifically made, bent, shaped, formed, etc. to maximize hp and torque.

Cat-back piping and a muffler say from Apex'i that's made for your car specifically went through testing to maximize power, durability, etc.

Of course, it's always your choice. Street use doesn't really matter, it's only if you're going to race it on a track.

 

quiet: Apex'i WS
loud: Apex'i N1

 

thermal &gt;&gt; deep sound
apexi world sport &gt;&gt; nice and quiet
apexi n1 &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; high tone

i'd go with something not too loud..

Depends what you like. My exhaust sets off car alarms, and I'm proud of it. It's not good however when 1) you're trying to sneak out of your house 2) running from cops and 3) when you don't want attention.

If you wanna gets races and have people say "holy ****, that civic must have gangs of **** done to it" just b/c of you're burly sounding exhaust, then get a loud one.

It's all a matter of peference. As a JDM vs. Ricer stand-point, JDM is quiet and Ricer is loud (and annoying). Bumble-bee and exhausts that really sound like the car is farting should just be taken off the market.

 

oem ITR or es oval

 

if i dont want it to be too loud some times, then should i look in to a brand that comes with a silencer?

 

Like Mr Illegal said, I wish BumbleBee/WeedEater/Wheezing exhausts could be taken off the market.

 

I like pacesetter exhausts with a thrush non-louvered glasspack. They arn't as deap sounding as some of the more expensive cat-backs but they get the job done....Yes, I'm serious....both my CRX and hatch have the exact setups.

 

apexi n1 is good, or tanabe exhaust

 

quiet + performance = RS*R

 

I like my Apex'i dunk!

 

Apexi GT Spec muffler

 

JIC

 

depending on what u have plan d for ur car..if nothing more than a intake a few bolt on s..a custom 2 1/4 will work out fine..look at the magnaflow site and save urself some dollar s

 

has anyone tried out a Greddy Evo? how does that work?

IMO, go as quiet as possible.

I second that.

The JIC, and Apex'i N1 (And tanabe Racing medallion) are loud. R they ricey to you??

I have the bullet and I can drive normally and its slightly more audible then a Apex'i WS.

For money best exhaust to me.

 

It's all an opinion. Greddy EVOs sound nice IMO. My exhaust has a silencer, but it sounds horrible with it in, but it is a lot quieter. It is nice being quiet sometimes, I feel "invisible" with it in.
