as far as what muffler/exhaust setup they used, it didnt exist. good luck making a civic sound like anything but a high power weed wacker.

I'm pretty sure the main cars were all modded, mostly exterior stuff, and they had lots of extra cars that just had bumpers and wheels on them. Paul Walker actually drove the cars for all of his shots, went through lots of training to pull it off.
They used the real civic engine sound about as much as George Lucas used the real Millenium Falcon sound.

I have 3"ipes fdrom the headers back, with turbo muffler and mine sounds good? No high RPM rasspyness and not too deep to where it sounds like its passing gass when I take off.... The pipes cost me 40$ and the muffler cost me 20$ and the welding and brackets cost me 60$ = 120$, 60$ if you do it with clamps and hang it yourself.
P.S. Its not about the sound, its about the flow..... Usualy if you have a good flowing system it sounds good as well...

The only "mods" on those cars were lighting and exterior. Everything thing else was fake from the exhaust sounds to the blowoff valves of the turbos, which you thought they had by the fake FMIC.
