Yeah I really dont know what to go with cause they are so expensive. I guess I will have to spend some $$ then. I want a nice sound. Have seen any reviews on the Concept G? I checked the website and they sound nice but the quality of the video is not very good so its kinda hard to decide.

A bit of wisdom...eliminate all of the canister or "N1" style mufflers right off the bat. All of those mufflers lack enough physical volume to quiet your exhaust note.

If snow (and therefore salt) is an issue, buy the Apex'i WS2 rear muffler.
Then have your local muffler shop fabricate the rest of the tubing out of stainless steel 2.25" ID tubing, using mandrel bends.

The Apex'i rear muffler uses 60mm inside diameter tubing, which comes out to about 2.36". You're better off keeping the diameter of tubing constant from the exhaust header all the way back, but you'll be fine with a minor increase that far downstream.

Also, I would add a perforated core resonator between the flange downstream from the catalytic converter and the first bend you have to make to clear the gas tank and rear subframe. The full cat-back WS2 (which I run on my Integra) uses a similar setup and it's needed to keep the exhaust from getting too boomy at highway cruising speeds.

i want to get full cat-back WS2 but they dont make one for 95 civic dx sedans >_<

btw is this an easy to install if i were to buy the cat-back cuz i know if i just get a muffler i would have to cut/weld this and that. O and i just found out the rust is eating away my stock muffler so i would rather save up and get a new cat-back instead of just gettin a new muffler.

Again, you're hung up on the canister style exhausts.
Early on, you mentioned that you don't want to attract undue attention from the police.

Well, 92 dBa is damn loud.

If you had read the ad copy on the T1-C, you'd know that it requires a slip-on silencer to comply with most drive-by noise regulations. That should clue you in right there.

UPDATE: Given the priorities you've talked about so far, I'd look at the Greddy SP2 instead.

go with the apex'i ws2 muffler, or the rsr exmag. I have the rsr on my 95 civic and I love it, the tone of the exhaust is nice and low, and it looks good too.

i wouldn't get the T1-c unless u have a lot of performance done to the car cuz it looks like those are for high app vehicle. but since we are talking about greddy i like the sp2 and evo2 both not loud fart cans. that might be my alternative if the tanabe concept g or medalion touring price is too high.

Cuz i think the greddy cost a lil bit less?

I'm going with the HKS hi-power and Holley Airmass header myself, hopefully will have it ready in a few weeks, when it gets warmer.
