What is the quietest cat back for the 5th gen lude. I want a very silent one, but not one thats so restrictive it is gonna be useless. It will have to be a good diameter piping, because i will be using a turbo or JRSC.

that's the oxymoron of the millenium. here's the deal, for hondas and 4 cylinders in generarl, the quieter you get, the more restrictive it is. the louder it is, the better free-flowing hence better performance. you want the best of both worlds?? you ain't gonna get it if you're going turbo or jrsc. what i would suggest is a custom setup using the N1 muffler for example, or any other muffler with a silencer. put the silencer in when you want quiet, remove it when you're racing.
i would say the apex ws exhaust is the quietest, but if you're going with a turbo or the jrsc, it's probably one of the worst. sorry man, there isn't any exhaust that can give you a quiet exhaust note and good air flow, particularly when FI gets involved. it's just not going to happen. you can run the ws exhaust on a turbo or jrsc lude if you want, but no one, myself included, would suggest doing that.

Sorry man, I'm new to the import word, never owned one, I have had a 6 banger camaro, an SS, and now a GT mustang, I just don't want the lude I get to sound like a buzzing piece of shit. Let me rephrase:
"Whats a good exhaust with a nice throaty sound that won't make my car sound like a chain saw having sex with a weed wacker."
Not tryin to be an asshole, just gain info. Thanks guys.

I have heard that the thermal exhasut are great too. DSM owners praise them, but have also said they are quite loud. I will have to find a few guys with ludes and just listen to them. I imagine the Mugen is quiet, but expensive.

Loud might get annoying, but it isn't so bad when you have the acceleration to back it up.

how much mileage do you lose when u install a cat back exhaust system?

I assume you mean gas mileage?
You actually gain gas mileage because your engine is working less hard to dispel exhaust gasses from the chamber.
