Integra FlowMaster Exhaust

I have this exhaust on my car that is annoying the crap out me. It’s so loud. I'm sick of the loud exhaust systems. I want something that is going to sound good. Have a tone but not something your going to hear a mile away. So has any ever check out the flowmaster exhaust system for integra’s? Just want to see what people think about it,or if you know of a performance exhaust that’s not sounding like I’m 16 hit me up. Also any good cats?

This is the link for the FlowMaster Exhaust check it out!

I'll weigh in on this one...

I have the Apex'i World Sport II cat-back on my 97 DC4 and without a doubt, it is a fantastic product. Fitment was a breeze and it's totally devoid of flatulent resonance.

Since you're not in the snow belt, the coated mild-steel tubing will be fine for your climate. If rust-through is a concern, look at the RS*R ExMag. It's of similar design as the WSII, but made solely of stainless steel.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the RSR Exmag black? There is another one thought that is stainless, but I forget what it is called. However, I'll vouch for the WS2. I also have that exhaust on my car. Nice tone, good performance...

Yes. I somehow remember that the black finish is a high-temp enamel sprayed on the stainless steel body.... but let me check that.

UPDATE: Yep. I was right.

The polished stainless steel one is the ExMag GT II. It improves on the canister-style exhaust by designing the entire system for the lightest weight 9without going to the extremes of titanium). As it's a straight-pass exhaust, it will likely be just as loud as the 5ZR FireBall, if not louder.

I did not know that. Would paint actually stick to stainless steel? I picture that being able to scrape off real easy.

Absolutely, the enamel will stick to bare stainless without a problem. The differences in metallurgy between "mild" steels and stainless steel do not interfere with the bonding process for enamels. Many stainless steel appliances have an acrylic clear-coat finish on the steel surface; RSR just chose to use an opaque enamel for durability.

Hell, with good quality control on the steel and thorough painting, the exhaust might very well outlast the car.

Yes, the Fireball has a distinct sound, but it sure as heck is not quiet. Not by any means.
Based on what the original poster has said about noise level, I don't think the 5ZR FireBall is suitable for his needs.

That said, welcome to the board.

All Greddy exhausts are fully stainless steel.

Ok so the MS*R Exmag, WSII amd the Greddy sounds like something I should check into. Yeah your right about the Fireball, to loud. I want something that’s going to sound good and not drive me crazy.

Is this a good price for this system? The link for the Exmag

the greddy SP2 is also pretty good, has a nice deep base sound. that RSR exmag also has a very nice bass sound to it. I heard both of these on G2s but im sure the sound wouldnt change that much for the G3

both of these are far from that loud obnoxious sound...its just a matter of seeing which one u can get cheaper

doesnt Borla make an exhaust system for the teg? i met someone with one on a G2
