but there are different cases. i want to know the differences between the two. there is nothing out there comparing these two exhausts. i want to know because ive decided on one of these two. ive heard sound clips and dont give a **** how they sound. i care how they perform.

The Buddy Club has better build quality. It will be louder due to the thin-wall tubing it uses though.

If you're wanting 200whp you should be looking at something 2.5" though.

Crock of ****...theres over 50 threads in this forum about exhausts and them being tested (dyno tested) and having exhausts compared..but no you didnt even bother searching just figure ahh ill post a new one...

Now tell me did you look through these:
» Search Results

Your search for exhaust returned the following 81 results.

I did this in the EG Civic and selected archived.
Look at all the exhaust comparsions,etc,etc.

whatever man if you don't have something useful than don't post. I been around a while and i know how to search. those are archived which mean old. those are old opinions and i wanted fresh ones. you've done nothing but waste my time.

Whenever i get the money and feel like it, im going to make a custom exaust with 22" resonator, 1 bend and a magnaflow 2.5" in/out straight thru canister. If i really feel like it, ill dyno open header and with it bolted up, probably will be extremely minimal difference or none at all

also will this be a bolt on exhaust. im getting the comptech header for a b18c1 obviously and the spec III for a 92-95 hatch and should i just get a custom test pipe??? will that work or will i need to do something else

*edit* if i get the custom piping from him all i need is an exhaust. im confused. im gettin the header and does his piping take the place of the test pipe back or what. does the muffler weld onto the piping.
