exhaust recommendations...
I'm looking for a full exhaust (header excluded) for a '00 Civic. I'm looking for one with a great sound but this is hard to imitate until you hear it on your car. What have you heard and seen that has impressed you? So far I've liked what i've seen from Apex. What are your suggestions?

From what i've seen, A'pexi and HKS make the best exhausts for the dyno, but are also much louder than most exhausts. As for a header, I'd go with DC or A'pexi.

Thermal R&D makes fully stainless exhausts, with definitive sound, and a cheap price. They are just as good, if not better than Apex, DC, GReddy and HKS.

my bf has the greddy evo exhaust on his prelude. it is really nice sounding (its a deep growl sound) he got a very good price on it at
www.groupbuycenter.com it was like 500$ on the greddy site and at the group buy place he got it for 375 shipped. it will be cheaper for a civic tho

I would highly recommend a Thermal (if you want a cat-back). They sound great. High horsepower gains. The Stealth systems are quieter but they are tuned more toward the low-mid RPM range. Whereas, the Classic system is tuned for mid-upper RPM. Besides, the Classic system has a low throaty tone...so who cares if it's loud...it is not that high pitched, raspy, hearing aid killing sound.
Thermal is going for $499 shipped, for the civic, at a certain unmentioned online store...(see below)

I tried to do that at GroupBuyCenter and Thermal had the PartsWhorePolice on me in no time. They called me and said that they would do everything in their power to make sure that I am unable to sell their product, if I was going to sell that low.
They rambled on about how it 'degrades the integrity of their products'. (selling at such a low price). See the Tanabe effect.
