Exhaust Advice

[Amonn]

I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on the *right* exhaust system for me. I am specifically looking for the quietest exhaust possible, or maybe to be read, the deepest or lowest hrz. Essentially, I want the antithisis to a whiny, raspy loud exhaust. I live in california, and I know the cops love to harass people with nice cars that make a lot of noise (I already recieved one noise pollution ticket for my stereo, and they actually charged me $412 for the ticket). Anyhow, I own a 2000 Civic EX, so if anyone has any advice it would be great. The reason I really ask is, I once saw a Civic with an exhaust that was just perfect, saw it idling, and it just sounded nice and deep, almost bass sound. Thanks for the advice!

2.25 mandral bent pipe with a magnaflow muffler...noise depends on resonators...get a long one, the less noise will come of it....2.25" will be good until 210 crank HP...get a 2.25" cat and a new header as well....you want to keep backpressure at a minimum and most aftermarket exhausts don't offer this....most aftermarket exhausts aren't a true 2.25" throughout..they have a bottle neck somewhere along the bent...usually where it connects to the cat...I know most tanabe exhausts have this..necks down to 2" or less...essentially bottlenecks the exhaust flow and creates unwanted backpressure...you want no backpressure, people that tell you otherwise are dead wrong...most aftermarket exhausts yeild 3-5 psi..and this is for a good one
