I have a 5zigen on my civ, it's pretty loud but very very deep sounding. Not like alot of the bee's in a can sound that i hear around here. It's only an axel back though. I tried using my stock mid section and it made my 5z sit all weird, so i ended up buying a 2-1/4 after market mid section works perfect now! And now my exhaust is full stainless! but in the end the cost was just about as much as a thermal or dc cat back. $250.00 +$200.00=$450.00. But i wouldnt trade my 5z for either of them.I like it loud!

my friend has 2-1/2" pipe no resonator and DC headers and a free flow cat, with an arospeed BOMB muffler on the end, it is loud as all hell, like shakes windows in buildings and stuff.

go get the cheapest muffler you can find. Now get a hammer and chizel. Bash a hole about the size of a baseball in the muffler. Bash a golfball sized hole in the resonator. Now you have your loud exhaust.


why the hell do you only want it loud? Most people get stuff because it's faster, not because it's louder. Are you just trying to piss off the neighborhood or what?

I have a friend with a jeep and he put dual glass packed mufflers on his car and you couldn't even talk in the car it was so loud. When I heard it at first I thought it was cool then it just got really annoying.... I want performance not annoyance!

We also tested my friends 90 prelude, it had a flow on it. That thing hit 135 decibels. His car was sooooo loud.

Even though I'm new here I still can't understand why you'd want a really, really loud exhaust

I run a complete custom system, 2 1/4 glass packed muffler, hi-flow cat & custom headers mostly cos I' a poor student and I could only just afford that. Until I had a small hotdog resonator fitted it drove me and everyone else nuts. sure performance wise it helped but it sounded cheap and annoying.

I got pulled over one night on my way home from uni taking off from the lights quickly but not taking it to the redline, not even going over 60 Kph. The cop wasn't a pig and I managed to talk my way out of it. I'm sure that if it even looked like I was trying to race they would have thrown the book at me... is it worth it?

With the small resinator I've lost no hp and gained a car that isn't annoying and doesn't sound like crap.

i don't like mine. after the fender bender...i kinda had to get it. i wanted to go jdm but at the time the front end wasn't straight enough and i was getting pulled over daily ( :finger4: ) by cops who thought i was an easy ticket with no ins. whatever. hopefully before the year is up i'll go jdm
