If you want performance my recomendation is to remove the resonater and put 2 1/4 piping to the stock ex muffler. The you have an Exaust with no noise. That way you'll be a little faster with no loud Automatic shifts.Automatic Civics get laughed at when they have Loud Exausts with auto......and Automatic Honda trannies go out when they're dogged.......espically if the owner doesn't flush it out often

Wow..... where do you pull this stuff from??

If you have an EX, SI, VTEC, or other top end Honda model keep the stock muffler and put a 2 1/4 pipe from the Catalytic Converter to the muffler. Get a new piece to fit from the 2 1/4 pipe to the muffler too. This removes the 1 1/4 pipe and the very restrictive Resonator. Get rid of the Resonater is the key to a Honda exaust. Leave the CAT or you will lose backpressure which you need, espicially for turbo. Gutting the CAT results in a Catalytic Rattle that is very annoying and heard between 3 - 8 k RPM's. Make a quiet custom stock exaust and you car will chirp 2nd gear even nastier; besides you'll be able to hear the intake. 2 1/4 saves gas and gets better mileage. Spending money on a loud bomb is not worth it. It adds no speed, unless it's a 1995 Saturn SC2. If that's the case go with RS Racing. But if it's for a HONDA Remove the resonator and stick with the stock muffler. Turbo requires 3 inch...........

I just like how VTEC is now a Honda model. I missed that memo, apparently.

I plan on buying thermal stealth for my car very soon, once i figure out what kind of civic to buy it for some people tell me 97 lx others tell me 99 si altho, when compared to a friends Si the cat resides in the same place, so once i find a reasonable price, im going to get the thermal stealth
