Default Doesn't anyone make a dual tip exhaust for CRX anymore?

There used to be 2 companies that I knew of that made cat back exhausts for the CRX that had somewhat factory looking dual tips... Apexi WS and Pacesetter.

Now Apexi is making the WS2 with a single 4" tip just like everyone else (and they don't even have the CRX listed) and it looks like Pacesetter has changed theirs as well. I can't seem to find anyone that still has the old WS in stock anymore.

So am I stuck with custom if I want dual smaller tips instead of one huge one?

Scorpion Exhaust has a dual tip for the CRX. Too bad you can only get it shipped from Europe. You can try getting a custom magnaflow/flowmaster with some dual tips. Or you could try a HKS Sport Exhaust with dual tips at the end.

I found some threads in the archive. Maybe itll help you

The HKS Sport has two exits. And is the the best exhaust made for our cars IMO.

Have a muffler shop make up a set of tips for you (or do it your self as I did)



I was trying to get a "stock" look and the pipe at the tips is 1 3/4" diameter. The combined cross-sectional area is larger than the 2 1/4" diameter main pipe.



The chrome tip cover fits snugly over the pipe, not loose as is stock. As a result, it looks totally stock but flows a lot more than a normal SI would.

Here's a shot of my Scorpion, I love it. I had a local shop who brings them in for VW's bring me in a CRX one. Wasn't that hard to get... just had to be patient with shipping. Well worth the wait though

Around $800 Canadian, last spring. It comes with the muffler and the tips polished, I had the entire rear section including the pipes polished before install.

Unfortunately, the HKS is not full stainless and they have a tendency to rust out pretty quick if you live on the "wet" coast like me. The scorpion is full stainless.

Well, I just got informed by Titanmotorsports.com that the HKS sport is no longer being made for the CRX. Websites that do claim to have it in stock have the price going up very rapidly!!! currently avg. $720.00

another one bites the dust!!!!

How about the HKS Sport for the hatch - same story?

If they still have those in stock, you could just take out a section of the midpipe to make it short enough to fit the CRX.

Other than that - you could probably get a custom system to last longer and sound better for less than any off the shelf system.

It's a really nice exhaust - you have great taste - but I'm not sure if I can justify spending almost $670 USD on it though!! I wish it was cheaper!

Thanks for your help guys, I guess I'm going custom.

FWIW this isn't for me it's for a customer of mine who currently has a Greddy SP2 on his CRX and hates it because he thinks it's too loud. And he absolutely despises the "coffee can" tip. he's giving me the SP2 for my car if I can set him up w/ a stock looking, quiet, but still free flowing system for his.

I'll just take my 2" mandrel bent tubing from my old Brosal cat-back and add a new muffler and the biggest resonator I can find to it.

HKS and Mugen are the best IMO.

I still have an HKS Sport Exhaust NIB. Up until 3 months ago I had two. Sold the last one, now I'm going to sit on this one.
