BEFORE ANYONE PANICS I USED THE SEARCH OPTION AND DID NOT FIND WHAT I NEEDED.

Already, having said that. Since I am planning on a 98-01 lude, I wanted to know what kind of exhaust I should get. I DO NOT want one that will sound very high pitched and super loud when I'm going 20 mph. I need something that gives it a humm..... Not to loud. Know what I mean? You see these civics all the time with exhaust so loud it sets off car alarms.... But all the sound is coming at while they're slowly taking off from a light, know what I mean? I want a rumbly exhaust that sounds nice, not loud, but nice....
So who has heard different type of exhaust on the ludes?

 

i have heard the tanabe med. on a prleude and it doesn't sound all too loud just like prrss in a way.

 

well, I love my loud skunk2, But if thats what your into try mugen if your ballin, or thermal makes one barely louder than stock and ok gains.

 

thermal R&D

 

so tanabe med and mugen are the "midranged" exhaust??? I want a bit louder than stock... kinda inbetween LOUD and stock..

 

my friend has the mugen adn taht one can sound pretty loud. the tanabe is an ok loud/quiet noise.

 

go with SMSP. Custom built. Quiet and deap from what I've heard. Cheaper than Mugen, and just as good if not better IMO.

*Mugen ******: let the flaming begin*

 

check out the RSR exhaust. its jdm. they did have one for a fourth and fifth gen on ebay.

 

I would go with SMSP or Greddy Evo

 

My Apex'i N1 is deap and "rumbly" but is kinda loud. its a good exhaust if u dont mind a little heat shield rattle in low rpms.

 

greddy sp .. i might wanna sell mine and go back to stock. minor scratches on bottom. if u want let me know.,

 

Thermal R&D. Best overall bang for your dollar spent and it will not rust-100%stainless (maybe not the flanges). Fit, finish and sound are absolutely first rate.

 

the JUN doens't sound bad, nor does the Roll Hard Performance... both are just the universal canisters though, not cat-backs

 

natasD5nt.. how much would u sell it 4?

 

dude i have never seen ur car around campus. Have you seen me? REd lude, looks stock, window tint, spoiler, greddy evo exhaust.

oh yeah since i am here: i love my evo, the sound is second to none. But if you had the money i would go with HyTech.

 

several people i've talked to disagree with the look of the RSR on preludes, but its up to you. I'm very pleased with the tanabe hyper medallion or racing medallion. If i had the $$$$$$$$ i'd opt for the mugen. All around great in my opinion.

 

does anyone have their stock 5th gen exhaust still ... i'll buy it >>>> hit me at schoo168@u.washington.edu

 

i have a 5zigen fireball....imo, it looks and sounds great but if i had my choice of any exhaust, it'd have to be mugen.

same here, i get alot of compliments on the sound. but it is definetly loud, i have set off two (very sensitive) car alarms.

 

that's about the only thing the N1 really does. They should name it the A'PEXi N1 Alarm Tripper or something

 

guys feel free to take a look at http://www.Accordinglydone.com/store we offer mandrel piping for the preludes... i can also refer you to several people how have bought it and can vouche for the fitment and performance gains


if your worried bout sound or other issues, we have several items that will solve that problem

Okay I'll add my exhaust question here. I want to know what the most quiet exhaust out there is that will still offer good flow. I am not a fan of loud exhaust at all. I would love for my car to sound like a BMW Z1 Is there any decent exhaust systems for the ludes that could do this?

I learned that the hard way, thats for sure. Originally was running the N1 without a cat and no resonator. Sounded louder than any Harley Davidson I've ever come across. I put a Cat back on it and a resonator...it's deep, a bit raspy, but not too loud.

I'd probably go with Tanabe RM if you don't want too loud, but nice sound. I personally like my N1 now.

 

Deep and raspy... thats what im looking for.

 

I used to have a greddy evo for my 5th gen lude and I liked the way it sounded. It had a nice deep sound to it. You couldn't really hear it too much at low rpms, but when you got on it and once vtec hit it roared. Then I got a mugen. This exhaust is so much quieter than the evo. It isn't as quiet as stock but it is close to it. If you got the cash I'd highly recommend the mugen exhaust.
