I would advice against all of those brands you listed. All of them are of poor quality and will start to sound like a weed wacker in no time, not to mention the fact they will rust. I dont know how much you have to spend, but I recommend getting a Thermal Universal Muffler. You can get one shipped for 120 from landspeedracing.com. The tip is a little small, so just get a universal tip and put it on there. My friend got a Thermal muffler, a new 3.5" tip, and installation for $175.

well i'll tell you what, we just got a dual tip muffler off ebay and so far it sounds good as hell and it has a really deeep sound, hell im even thinking about buying one for my 94 ( we also have a 99 ex ).. my personal opinion i would go with a dual tip, you know the one that has the 2 tips that curve upward....

Yo,
Check it out:

Carbon Fiber Muffler by R1. Sounds great, looks incredible.

ok people tell me the reason why you would pay extra money for a damn muffler that is carbon fibre, when the damn thing is under the car and gonna get dirty and all beat up and scratched up, and especially if you have your ride lowered, MY PERSONAL OPINION I THINK ITS JUST PLAIN OLE STUPID...

how bout you just go to a local muffler shop, have them make you a custom 2.5" exhaust piping and then get a oval es muffler and go with that. It's a very clean looking setup and sounds nice.

Hey guys.. thanks for the info... i apprechate the Replys.. right now i havent done any motor swap to my CX hatchback .. it still has a fukin 70 hp engine in it... its slow as balls.. right now i am saving for a b16 SiR motor that has 170 wit a much higher compression ratio... i guess the reasion it dont sound as good is b.c the engine is only 70 hp ... HAHAHAHAHHA... anyway thanks again.. my friend does that that muffler wit the duel tips that point upward, it really does sound good... thanks guys.. Keep Replyin

Well Candle,

Why do any of the stuff we do to our cars? I also have 17" Momos that I know will eventually get banged up by the road---didnt stop me from gettin em. I have a four-piece body kit by erebuni, that before i bought, the salesman said "the urethane tends to get beaten up"---didnt stop me from gettin it. Personally, what I think is "PLAIN OLE STUPID" is when guys slam their cars to the road with ridiculous drops, knowing theyre going to have to deal with REAL road conditions. My car is lowered only 1.5" as to protect my investments, namely my kit and yes, my CARBON FIBER muffler. But when I first started building my car I did not approach the project with what's the most sensible or practical approach--I dont know about you, but I'm more passionate about my hobby than that. Basically, I pay the money and do the things to my car well, first because I CAN and second because I think they look sweet. Everyone that eyes my muffler says either "damn thats hot" or "whyd u pick that one". Either way, I really dont care...I did it because I wanted to.

Sorry, didnt see the Apexi on there. I got thrown off by names like bomz and arospeed. Yes, Apexi is a good quality exhaust, loud, but of good quality.

actually the jdm b16 is rated at 170hp at the crank, so he's right.

[Honda83]

yeah i am deffentally saving up for the JDM b16 SiR engine.. its not too heavy it has alot of power .. and there are soo many things u can do to it to make it beet some of the other engines, like the b18a the b18c.. thoes i think are a lil to heavy for my ride.. i mean my car only weighs about 2065 pounds.. so my car is mad light to start.. thats no joke... anyway is that Apex Muffler a real good muffler.. i mean i see some civics and they get on the car and it sounds amazing.. i dono what muffler they are using.. i am still trying to find out...

[92egBOI]

the mufflers that you pick are really crappy,in my personal opinion i would go with a mugun duel tip,it my cost a lil more than the others but you will get that real jdm look to you car..
