Default DNX mufflers

Has anyone ever heard of a company called DNX performance. They make mufflers, catalitic converters and such.

Looking for info on their stuff since i'm thinking of getting one of their universal mufflers. Would anyone know if they are any good?

I've been to their website of www.dnxperformance.com but the info there is minimal at best.

Thanks for any info

There was a point in time when apexi had never been heard of, but as far as i know their stuff is good.

The DNX stuff does look good, at least the muffler i'll be getting does, all stainless steel with tig welding and guaranteed for life can't be that bad???

Was just wondering if anyone else had ever gotten their stuff and could give me their experience with them.

i dont mean to nag at you but i just took a look at the DNX website. I would compair these to the mufflers they sell on ebay for like $70 this is just me talking, but i wouldnt put that one a 97 civic with a b18c1 swap

and yes i do see there dyno charts, Remeber that that is about $1,000+ they spent on the car, and it only makes 9 more horses

This is the only thread on honda-tech about them, sorry it does not help that much

Actually i wasn't even able to find their dyno chart. Main reason i'm putting on an aftermarket muffler is for the extra flow. If i get a little extra horses out of it that's a nice bonus but i don't expect anything more than 2-3 extra at the very most. Plus, although i do want the flow, i don't want all the noise, my first choice would have been an apexi WS but i can't afford to get that so i'm getting the best i can afford for the time being.

The guy doing the job tells me that it sounds similar to the WS in the sence that when driving normally there is barely any more noise than stock, just gives a low rumble type sound when you get a little more playfull

My exaust piping will be custom made for my car with a highflow cat. The guy doing the work for me is a bud and swears by those mufflers. He has 2 cars, one that he uses for drag which is a civic with an h22 and the other is his street car.

I was mostly looking for other people that might have those mufflers on their car that could give me their first hand opinion of them. What makes you say you wouldn't put that on a b18c1 though?

btw, the one i have on order is the universal one with part number 38434 and sells for ~180$ US, i'd put a link to the specific one but it's all a flash site.

I hate their site though, pretty tough to navigate and i have a feeling that going to it with a dialup connection would be an exercise in extreme patience

Thanks for the info you can give though, it's appreciated

Btw, i can't wait to have that engine in my car, the outside looks bone stock, will be a wolf in sheeps clothing around here because the canadian ex only comes with a sohc 1.6 with no vtec. :driving:

just about any muffler you get last for more than 200,000 miles......realy no need for warranty unless they rust.......i would just spend the exrta money on a universal N1 or hks:thumbup:
