which one is better? a custom made exhaust with aftermarket muffler or a bolt-on catback?
i'm speaking performance wise, which one will gain the best?

 

bolt on will even though bost will cost bout the sameas long as u use quality parts

 

you are not really going to feel the gain in hp but will notice the sound. yeah greddy, shunk2, apexi, ect. are all good brands but are you really willing to spend $400-$500 for a couple hp????h: apexi , magnaflow , and shunk2 sells performance mufflers and you can have a muffler shop custom the pipes for you for half the price think about it ... you live in miami just like me and i am sure you see all those fart cans driving around. custom or catback your not going to see a big difference unless you have other parts with it like intake,headers , a good tune up, ect... but brand does count if you are talking about noise cheap no name (ebay .ect)=fart can good name brand nice= deep tone untill you get on it! what other performance parts do you have ?????

 

as long as the custom made w/ MANDREL BENT piping, a decent muffler and a resonator it will perform the same as any brand name system.

 

well, i have an intake and i'm piecing the next part of the I/H/E/HI-Flow Cat...that's why i'm asking about the custom. i was wondering which will be most efficient. so far it seems custom is more cost effective.

f22b bomber...YES I SEE THAT FAGGOT FART CANNONS ON CIVICS DAY IN AND DAY OUT. i'm up in kendall, where you at?

 

I live in north miami beach and a day does not go buy with out seeing or hearing those things

 

You're not going to gain any noticeable HP without serious engine work/FI if you change your exhaust and cat. Just go for one that sounds nice and looks decent.

 

most universal mufflers cost bout 200 or so dollars and most shops charge bout 150 to 200 and thats standard pipe bending...dont know of too many shops that do mandrel bending so you might wanna do research if they do it...im sure it costs more. so youll be saving maybe 20 dollars as compared to buying a kit

 

kteller.com sells mandrel bent exhaust systems for accords. you just gotta bring them to a muffler shop and have it welded together.

 

If you make your custom exhaust wrong you will lose preformance.By the way this is a boy not a girl because my name on hear is babygirl my wife toll me to.
