Frankly I wouldn't bother with just a cat-back until you're ready to do the whole thing.

 

If you want power gains then you should invest your money in a header with 2,5" collector, this will also make it necessary to get a new cat with a 2,5" flange.

If all you want is a deep sound then go ahead and get an exhaust, do a search for more info on what to get, I'm sure every cat back system available for an R has been discussed already

 

I've heard many itr's with the Apex N1 and I just love the sound. Nice and deep in the lower register and when you mean it to, it rips.
I really like the sound of my Tanabe Racing Medallion but it definitely has the "bee" sound you speak of, especially in the higher rpm. But with only 1.8 liters are you really expecting a low rumble at 8000 rpm?

Stock is more than fine. I wouldnt' mod the car for at least a little while. Loud exhaust gets annoying really quick.

 

definitely get a decent header/cat combo first. Id say JDM ITR header is a good start.

True dat. With a decent header & cat combo, you'll get some throaty sound from the motor and will give you way better $-to-hp gain than getting an exhaust.

I like my HyTech H/E setup. Much more deep sound than stock and great power gains too. Might cost more than you want to spend, though.

From what I understand the Mugen still has some bottle necks, therefore there is now way I'd spend $975. IMO I'd keep the exhaust stock for a while.

 

base the exhaust system on the header you get.
well..i guess you can always cut em n stuff if you get something like a dtr, smsp,
hytech...

 

geting jdm header and carsounds cat just wnated some input on the catback how big is the N1? 2-1/4 or 2-1/2"

 

since you said oem look, smsp painted flat black

 

if your not planning on more than i/h/e/tp then just get an axle back comptech

 

I like the Fujitsubo RM-01A or Hytech catback.

 

i really like my 5zigen

 

nothing better and cheaper than custom

 

I have a DC stainless 4-1 with 2.5 inch collector, carsound cat 2.5 in/out and Mugen twin loop. I think it sounds and flows great. The Mugen ex. is perfect for daily driver!

 

tanabe or a apex n1

 

For the money go custom. Kteller8 sells mandrel bent setups for really good prices. Got mine for around $350. The key to not having a bee sounding car is a good resonator with any setup.
