ok, first of all, I'm not concerned with performance. I drive a freaking LX

but that dinky ass tailpipe has to go. It looks way out of place.

But I'm kinda on a budget, and since I don't think I need one of those $500+ systems, what a good one to get?

theres a local shop here that suggested the Reactive catback for $270 + install, but I dunno on how that would sound. I don't want a raspy tone.

any other suggestions in a decent price range?

also, theres a Tenzo R one I was looking at for $375. But I think the only reason I'd get that is because it matches my intake.

DSC

I'd say Apexi WS.

hey, when you get that car hooked up, you definitely have to post pics. I've never seen a sedan in that color with anything done to it. All the ones I've ever seen (which is a lot b/c they're very common around here) are totally stock. I'm curious what it would look like.

actually, I love the color. I was thinking of painting my plastic accents, but the black accents the blue very nice :thumbup:

but about that apexi setup, what does that run?

avoid pacesetters they are the raspiest you'll hear I had one on my 86 si and it was like a weedeater on crack

yeah, I saw those (pacesetters) on NopiOnline.

one look at the price ($160) and I knew not to get it.

I refuse to spend less than $200. Theres a better chance of it sounding like crap, then.

MoFo

Custom.

Price, I dunno, my buddies girlfriend's dad owns a muffler shop. When I had my Integra he put 2.25 mandrel bent piping to an OBX muffler. (full cat back) Sound great, nice and deep, performance? Ehhh....what do you expect from an exhaust. I did feel a LITTLE extra in the highend but for $150 (I bought the muffler off eBay for $70) it was a deal.

Without hookups, the same setup should cost around $300. That's what MoFo would do.

well, I was thinking custom, but that usually requires welding, and welding = $$$$$$

if I got a full catback system, I could just bolt it on myself, no problem. Or some shop could do it, and instead of spending $100+ for install, its only $40-$50

Of course a catback from DC, or APEXi or GReddy are simple to bolton, but custom really isn't that expensive.

For mandrel bending, most shops just buy a lot of pipe and then cut and weld them to fit your car. I wouldn't spend more than $350 for a custom.

It's just $500 for a freakin exhaust is too much IMHO.
