Question Whats the best exhaust (Not loudest) for performance

I'm looking to buy exhaust for my 98' civic ex. I want the best performance i can get, but the quieter the better, I really don't wanna wake up my neighboors and have a gay car. Suggestions?

Any of the popular exhaust systems will do the same job in giving you power. On a stock engine an exhaust wont give you much.

Re: Whats the best exhaust (Not loudest) for performance

i'm going with Thermal R&D "classic" catback exhaust for my B18C ITR swap...Thermal also makes a "stealth" model of this exhasut which is supposed to be even quiter, but both models are MUCH softer than something like the GReddy Evo catback...and yer not gonna be sacrificing on performance either.

i don't know of any other set-ups that will make you avoid having the "angry bumble-bee" sound, but this is one of them...there's some webstie with audio samples of the exhasut, but i can't remember the link right now...good luck

apexi WS or Gredy evo. both quiet and good flow. and to the domestic guys comment, its not a V8 so complete free flow isnt best. we need backpressure.
