best sounding exhaust

[Arlorn87]

hey me and a friend both have 94 honda accord EX. and we're looking into starting to mod them. I wanted to know what you guys thought was the best sounding CAT_Back system

[IAmCman]

Apex'i World Sport, no doubt. Just got mine on, and I can't get enough of that sound.

Of course...this is all a matter of opinion...

If you want quiet and deep, go with Apex'i World Sport. The Greddy EVO is slightly louder, at least on my friend's EK civic. Both are quality systems, and you won't be unhappy with either choice.

If you want something loud and buzzy, go order some crap ricer system off ebay.

Obviously you can tell what my preference is

Cman, what's the quietest one out there for a 98 accord i4? the WS? or something else, I don't want anything loud at all.

I've always HATED magnaflow's in V6's and esp V8's, but the accord I bought had a magnaflow already installed and I must say I'm 100% impressed on how a magnaflow sounds in a honda.

It's not loud, it's not buzzy, it's perfect.
All you'll get is a sweet mellow tone that is 100% for whoever is in the car and not intended for anyone outside of the car and like any other MUFFLER you add to a 4 banger, it's only for slight gains.

Myself, I have a 96 Accord, so I have no personal experience with 6th gens. But if I had to take an educated (and most likely correct) guess, I'd say that the World Sport for 6th gens sounds similarly awesome (if they make it for 98+). It all comes down to GReddy exhausts and Apex'i WS, with the addition of maybe a few others. Those two are the only ones that I've heard nothing but good things about, not to mention have personal experience with.

Stick with either of those, IMO...good stuff.

That's where I ordered mine from.

I just bought the RS*R ExMag. Not the GTII, just the ExMag. It's actually more expensive than the GTII but in my opinion, looks much better. I just posted some pics (if they work) here in the Accord Forum. It hasn't been installed yet, but it may be tommarow or monday. I hear it is the quietest aftermarket exhaust, but it comes at a heavy price. The exhaust retails for $629 from RS*R for the rear-section and b-pipe (so it's a cat-back).

[IAmCman]

I've heard pretty good things about the ExMag too...other than the fact that it's out of production and kinda difficult to find....I think.

So add a third to that list of exhausts you can't go wrong with.

I've also heard the Tanabe Hyper Medallion is nice too...

I have a '90 Honda Accord LX and I put a Mangaflow on there and at first i was so pissed becuase it was so quiet unless i gunned on the highway. But i think i've had it on there for about a year now. Man i think that is so much better sounding than those god damn coffee can muffler i always see. That's my input take it how you want.

I have a 96 accord. I really like the sound of the Greddy EVO but if cost is a factor you can get a powertech muffler cheap. They produce nice, deep tone and they're affordable

[dougthegreat]

I doubt this opinion will be popular, but...

Go with something that isn't loud, isn't obnoxious, and doesn't look like you stuck a metal trash can on your muffler. I had a custom exhaust on my '93 Accord that made it sound turbocharged when you wound the engine up. Other than that, what's so wrong with the stock exhaust?!?

like alot of ppl say. Greddy EVO, SP, APexi WS, and DC Sports cat-back is pretty quiet. so is RS*R EX-MAG.

hey just wondering what series of magnaflow on your vehicle? I got a deal for magnaflow racing series. I afraid the sound will be really deep and loud.

im tellin ya man the APEXi WS exhaust is the best exhaust ive ever herd. my friend has it on his 2002 Accord V6 and it sounds great. its one exhaust system thats sounds like it has a pair of balls. it roars when u punch. if u hear it goin down the highway u would think it was a mustang. now i realize thats an accord v6 but it shouldnt sound much different on an I4.

[jajimo]

The RS*R sounds awesome when I floor it, however, since it is an automatic pushing around 150HP at 3000lbs, it lags like a mother fucker... so basically it sounds like I have power but I really don't =(

I went with one of those $40 generic stainless steel mufflers off Ebay (a DTM, or dual tip) it looks almost like the ones on BMW's (squared off tips, 3" diameter each) Then, I went to my local Midas, had them custom bend a new A-pipe (it was needed to accomodate the muffler's inlet location, and because I wanted something more solid than a couple widening sleeves welded together onto the end of my existing pipe- the muffler inlet was like 3 1/2 inches, the stock Accord A-pipe is something like 1 3/4 or 2") This ran me $140 for the pipe fabrication and welding, mounting of hanging brackets on muffler, and installation of the whole thing. SOOOO, for about $180, I ended up with a custom A-pipe/muffler combination, that sounds AWESOME (the muffler has a really nice, low tone to it... I'm told by many people that the sound is perfect) Just discreet enough so it doesn't alert any of the 5-0 in the vicinity, but you can DEFINATELY still hear it, and feel it. Plus, I still have my whole OEM A-pipe/ muffler setup, in case I ever want to bolt it back on. I wanted to steer away from a full catback system, mainly because 1. I didn't have the money, and 2. There are just too many concerns about backpressure related issues with bolting a large diameter pipe onto a 4 banger. I've heard bad stories of people's cars losing all their oomph to unnecessarily open exhaust system piping. From what I understand, it is great for turbo charged or other high output engines, but not for some 2 liter i4.
