pay no attention to back pressure...exhaust velocity, that's where it's at...

on a side note...no back pressure, very good for me...

preference on the sound? you don't want to get a very loud one and regret it later on...sure, it may sound good for a few weeks...but loud exhausts gets annoying after awhile...epecially driving 80 on the freeways....that's why i got myself a Rsr....think about it

as rule of thumb loud exhausts are dumb on slow cars and automatics.

I have always liked the design of the Bomz gt spec exhasts but If I had to choose between bomz or the apexi I would go with apexi since they have always had good results in the past and are more popular with preformance

Ok so if I get the "Accord V6 opt. dual kit" that says its supposed to be used only with 98-02 V6, I should be OK? (350 extra bucks tho... :/ )

no, much cheaper to do a custom catback with Y-pipe. check the midas on the chain bridge rd. in vienna. ask for joey. i think he does pretty good work. also, be sure to go for 2.5 or 2.25 in piping. for n/a applications, i recommend 2.25, for turbo or other forced induction applications, i recommend 3 in or 2.5 in. but with 3 in, you can say goodbye to passing emission.

if you want to hear obx b5, aim me at ashz3ro. maybe we can meet somewhere around here (since you're in my area). psh psh yo. (damn that was such a ricer comment) h:

I have delt with Bomz on the wholesale business level, and I do not appreciate their products or their attitude, I'd go with the Apex'i or a Megan racing unit any day of the week over their stuff. Megan racing is actually a very good brand, ashame that they've been associated with "generic" because of the massive amount of low price selling on eBay and lack of "fine" retailers.

Only Bomz's strut bars are even remotely decent, but they only make them for the Civic .
