Default exhaust question

now i finally have a civic i was wondering what muffler would be the best. either a dynomax or a flowmaster. or do you think that i should just go with something like a apexi or ractive.

Depends on what you want your car to sound like?

i had an apexi n1 on my crx for about a year. i'm taking it off next week b/c i was getting hassled by the cops b/c it is too loud. i just purchased a dynomax super turbo which should be a little quieter and look more like stock. i'll keep you posted.

Yeah, something like that. It should work, it's not like the muffler gets as hot as the header.

I have the Superturbo muffler like above with Dynomax INT pipe with resonator and "walker" (from dynomax) high flow cat. Sounds great man you'll love it. Very clean low idle and screams in vtec.

Fun fun fun

Only one problem....see that long hanger on the muffler in the pic? It wont support the muffler. Mine kept bending up and the muffler would hang down like 2-3 inches. I just went to Meineke and had them cut it off and weld a hanger onto one of the actual duel exhuast lines like the stock exhausts are. I'll snap a pic later and show you...

They did it for free only took 30 seconds. Just drove up with the long hanger on and they bent it right off!
