Can't decide

I have a 97 civic ex and i am thinking about putting a muffler on but i don't know if is hould go with just a muffler or get th whole cat bak system what will sound better and give me more performance for the money:confused:

don't just grab the muffler - just save up your money and grab the full system (pipe/cat/muffler/tip)

it is the best option - hands down

Yeah, I agree with matc. Go get the full catback exhaust system. You can't go wrong with buying the full system. It's always better to spend more money than getting shit by spending little too.:D

Yeah, get the full catback, if you get just a muffler, you might be happy for the first few months, but after a few months, you're gonna regret not gettin a full cat back.

if you decide to just get the muffler at first...is there going to be a big price difference if you decide to by the rest (piping, cat..etc.) later? And can you buy a complete system seperately like that?

Save your money. Just weld a big coffee can on the muffler.

I say cat-back as well .... ;)

enginerd, are you talking about this?

I say get custom piping and loose the resonator. Slap a nice muffler on it. You have saved yourself money, got a deeper exhaust tone, and the same (if not more) hp gains as an aftermarket cat-back.
