Pretty much all of the bolt-on catbacks out there use 2.25" pipes. Thermal R&D sells a turbo-specific 3" catback. If you get a 2.25" system now, it'll be too small once you get the turbo. If you get a 3" system now, it'll be way too big until you get the turbo. Neither option is really ideal. Either keep it stock or buy a 2.25" system for now and sell it when you get the turbo.

 

that sucjks, haha. there are no 2.5" catbacks around to comprimise?

 

The appearance doesn't draw unwanted attention, but the sound is definitely noticeable. Actually I'm not sure whether you want to pay that much cash to get a generic looking tip (my biggest gripe w/Comptech)....

yea i definately need an exhaust, my muffler is rattling like crazy. now i just dont know which one...definately want quiet. any other quiet exhausts with thicker piping?

 

im in the same rut as you are. I want a quiet 2.5" peformance exhaust.
Here's my idea.
2.5" custom piping from Midas with resonator $130 + JDM type R muffler (jdm type r's had 2.5" piping compared to usdm 2.25")

 

hmm..i dont know if i trust the sound that will come out of the custom job. i had something like that o my old accord and it sounded like ****

 

it will sound good with an ITR muffler.

 

how much would it cost? im looking to do this very very soon.

 

Just buy somebody's used A'PEXi WS for now. Run it until you get a turbo and then sell it again. You'll make most if not all of your money back. If you sell it for a little less just consider the difference as the cost of "renting" the exhaust for a few months.

 

hmm..i cant find a used one...i think im between the apexi WS, greddy SP, or the dc sports one, cant decide. any ideas where i could find a used one?
