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.

i was pretty impressed when I heard the GReddy evo and the apex'i world sport exhuasts they sound pretty dope actually;)

Altho It wasnt what I expected, I have to be biased, and say go with an Apex-i N1, I also like tanabe.... For header.... DC sports... Or hytech, if u have $1400....

look at me, im a dumbass like the rest of you.. he said EXCLUDED, not included lol... ok forget the stuff bout the headers:D

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

thermal or Kakimoto:D

Kakimota?? I may be displaying my stupidity, but I haven't heard of them. Any information?

yes most definately, I beleive he was trying to say Akimoto Search for it on google.

Anybody have info on exaust for 03 Corolla????

Any opinions on the Thermal Stealth systems?

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)

No..he meant to say Kakimoto. Very nice, very expensive!!!


Thermal is good....

basically a choice of taste...go look on websites like
www.modacar.com

I like the EVO...tho it's a bit played

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.

cripes.. they better get the heads up on their high reguards on the street

Thanks for the suggestions...you guys are alot of help

well you might as well pick something that looks nice and sounds nice to you cause you arent gonna get to damn much out of an exhaust if anything at all. assuming you arent running any boost......

For info on Kakimoto go to www.redlyne.com

For an exhaust...just go with one that you like the looks of and the sounds of...and one that is made well. It's all personal preference.

I got a tanabe G power for my ride, love it, sounds good, looks good, although i only paid $400 at a car show, not tax, and no shipping ;) :D ! Good luck.

I've got a custom magnaflow cat-back $225. Sounds pretty good.

I plan to upgrade to a HKS or tanabe one day. But, for the price, can't beat it!
