Icon7 ► EM2/ES1/ES2 Civic Exhaust Thread (Questions, comments, etc.)

With the amount of questions about exhaust (headers, cat-back, mufflers, test pipes, etc.)
I thought it would be a good idea to have an Official Exhaust Thread.

Questions, comments, pics, ranting, raving... whatever it may be.
If it has to do with exhaust, it needs to be in this thread.

It's all subjective, but if you remember you get what you pay for, you'll do alright.

The dc tcs that I have is pretty loud. I want something a little less noisey. Are the headers going to make a big difference in sound or volume?

Its proven that the 3 inch exhaust works the best with the k20 n/a and its not 'that' loud n/a. I've had a 3 inch exhaust on my k20 for over 3 years.

hows the 3 in exhaust stack up against a 2.5 in exhaust in tq comparisons? i mean i could see SOME power being gained up top but there should be significant power lost low end.
