Couple of questions yall....does anyone have or have they heard the Magnaflow exhaust on a 5th gen? If they have it, what's the performance like and what does it sound like? And secondly, what's a good strut bar for the 5th gen? One of my friends who's a honda/acura tech says that the bars aren't really good if they don't bolt into the actual strut and not on top of the tower. I have no idea what that means but which ones are good? I'm making some moves in the next couple of weeks so i'm doin some research. Thanks!!!

Magnaflow uses the street mufflers on their cat-back systems, which I explained earlier sounds like ass. My recomendation to use is to buy a Universal Magnaflow Race Series Muffler and get custom piping done at your local shop.. You can check them out by going to http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/m...raceseries.htm

After you pick out the one you want post it here and I will find it online for you real cheap.

Remember you want a 2.25" or 2.50" inlet.

Hey I appreciate that. Quick question....is this one louder than the Apexi World Sport? I actually heard that the apexi is the quietest one. Does this one give a nice throathy sound? I've listened to the magnaflow that they have on the the magnaflow website for the Acura RSX. Any louder or quieter or sound the same as that one? Sorry to be botherin u with these questions i just don't want to get it and not be happy.

the neuspeed strut bar is the best out there IMO. there is very little flex in it and it bolts in at four points vice the standard 2 points that the usual strut bars bolt up on.
