Help on deciding exhaust

[T!mmy]

I need help on getting an exhaust...I want a low pitch but somewhat loud. I have a 98 Civic ex.

I guess I wanna know people's opinions on exhausts they've heard on the D16Y8 engine.

Thanks
Brian

I would seriously reconsider wanting the exhaust to be "loud". It is very possible that your wants are completely different than mine, but I have an APEXi knockoff, and it is loud to the point that it interferes with music (at moderate volumes) and normal conversation in the car.

It does have a nice pitch to it, but again, too loud for my taste. If I had it to do over again, I'd go Greddy.

Whatever exhaust you get, make sure you get a fullback exhaust, from headers all the way to the muffler and to the tip, we all know if you dont get a good exhaust all honda's sound like crap. If you want a more quiet kinda sound, try installing an intake system in your car, it gives a nice sound.

I wanna know the loudness of the Greddy EVO...are we talking 50 ft away you can hear it or is it quieter than that?

I'm really thinking the Skunk2 or Apexi N1 is the way for me

I hear the GReddy EVO is the quietest of the exhausts out there. I dunno though. Loud isnt really good though. My friends all have loud exhausts, they're mom's hate it, which isn't that big of a deal to them, but after about a month or two they all started to get annoyed by the constant VRRRRRMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM of their car. Just my

when you say this, do you mean a cat-back exhaust, or the headers all teh way back. sorry if this is a retarded question, i catch on slow. and if it is header's all the way back, do they have to be the same brand of headers? Is 4-1 better than 4-2-1? sorry, i'm stupid.

Out of those 3 I woudl go with Skunk2.

[T!mmy]

anyone else?

[T!mmy]

i think the apexi n1 is out so it's skunk2 and 5 zigen fireball

I have an Apexi N1 on my 97ex and it has a quiet deep sound. Of all the people I have talked to they say it sounds the best. It is also dynoed to have the most horsepower gains on a NA car. And second best on turbos. I dont like the fireball or 5zigen because all the ones ive heard sound too high pitched. If you plan on putting on a straight pipe dont by an expense catback because it ruins the sound

[Ace$nyper]

errrz n1 deeper then 5zigen? umm from what i've heard meaning my 5z next to n1 my car is shit load deeper with a crappy lil motor next to a n1 with SOHC vtec. I like my 5z and would vote for that or skunk2 they make awesome stuff
