Default more exhaust comparisons

okay, i come to understand these products as so from reading on here and honda-tech.

APEX'i World Sport 2 - looks great, low sound, not a lot of HP gain.
Invidia - REALLY loud
Greddy Evo - REALLY loud, decent HP gains

how does everyone feel about the DC-Sports line of cat back exhausts? and does anyone have anything to correct or add on what i said about the other three above cat backs? i'm having a hell of a hard time deciding. my main goal is for the I/H/E to gain 20-35HP without sounding a coffee can. is the DC-Sports line of cat back exhausts any good?

What year accord do you have? I have the magnaflow cat-back and it's a great unit. Nice deep low tone and really opens up after you add header and free flow cat.

I have a magnaflow(street series) muffler and custom piping and it sounds great cannot even hear it when driving . it only gets loud when you get on it . do not get caught in those names like greddy ,apexi ect. in my opinion you are just paying for the name you will get the same hp gain if any . but the cheaper the muffler the louder it will be magnaflow has different syles if tips and mufflers. and it will cost you less and the couple of hundreds you save you can use it on other performance parts h:

i have the same muffler on my civic before and i'd say obx makes some pretty decent mufflers i just don't think they have cat backs or anything like that... now since i'm a little short on cash still i have their greddy style muffler on my accord haha

Reading about sound can be sketchy since sound is all based on opinion. Here is a sound clip of an Apex'i WS2.

I agree the Magnflow cat back is one of the best bang for the buck it has full SS piping and like it says above you really dont hear it intil you really get into it and only for it to be drowned out by an intake I ordered mine from www.completeexhaust.com check them out, great prices on magnaflows
