Short Version: I want to put an exhaust system on my car without making it all that noticable/drawing attention to my car. Header, Highflo cat, resonator, and STOCK or something similar sounding muffler. Also being a non-project/toy car so-to-speak, I don't want to spend a ton of money on the system. If possible, I would like to keep it under $600, but just looking for ideas ATM.

Long Version: I drive a 93 HB with a B18C1 swap as my daily driver. The car is going to be my daily driver till it or I die, and never really had any plans on pro-racing, or even making this car see anything more under a 13.0 quarter mile.

Now after driving the car, and talking to quite a few people, they all say I should at least put an exhaust system on the car and pinch those last few HP out of the block without major modification. At the moment its just a b18c1 with msd and intake (purchased it that way from my brother.) Only problem is I don't want a loud exhaust system, or sound like every other honda/acura in my city. At least once a week I get someone stopping by my house asking to buy either my civic, or my other car, and hondas are known for getting stolen frequently.

Any suggestions? I was looking at like Subliminals Tri-Y replica header, with some highflo cat, but I don't know where I can get a good resonator, or how I should step (if I even have to) down to a stock or similar muffler. Please help.

PS. Sorry for seeming like a n00b, but I never really got into hondas till I got this motor/trans etc; from my bro out of his crashed del sol. Sound is not an issue, except if its gonna draw attention to my car.

 

diameter is king...get 2.25-2.38 inch diameter

 

Diameter may be king, but sound is a priority. I don't want to be loud, nor have that honda sound that every other honda in town has. I don't want to spend a ton of money, but at the same time, I don't want to buy crap.

 

well it's going to sound like just another honda with an exhaust that's common...
i would get a 2.25 inch diameter with a silencer
smaller the diameter, depending on muffler, the quiter it will be
