I've heard brospeed is a good one, but last time I mentioned it nobody seemed to tell me different, I'm actually getting a brospeed exaust unless I hear different on how good they are.

i love my Thermal R&D, you'll hear DC Sports, Greddy, Tanabe, and a few other... as well as i'm sure a few ppl will say to go custom made... but my vote is for thermal...

Forget the name brand thing man, just go to Pep Boyz, they got awesome ones for $90. With the money you save over the GReddy stuff you can get carbon hood ,m and a few other things:frog:

told ya you'd hear all kinds of answers... and as for brospeed.. if you live where rust is a problem don't bother or you'll be replacing it in a year... and i think he was talking about catbacks and not headers... but a good header will greatly vary upon how your car is set up... its all about legths of the pipes and sizes and how they meet... search around the next i'm sure you can find a very indepth explanation how they work... and yeah el cheapos can be good... till you drive a year in the salt that just eats right through the damned exhaust and you end up replacing it every year or two...

I agree with jeef, you should go with thermal. I've heard a bunch of others (not on a crx tho) and they are all too loud, like driving in 5th gear down the highway you can't hear your own radio, its hella annoying. The Thermal is only loud when you want it to be, 5th gear at 70 mph isnt that loud at all, but drop in 4th, and damn it's sexy.

I would go with APEXi. I have an APEXi WS on my 91, and an APEXi dunk 115 on my 92. last exhaust I will ever buy.
