Exhaust
I have a 1999 Acura Integra LS and I'm going crazy trying to figure out which exhaust to get. I want something that's not so big and only gets loud when you really step on it. I heard Mugen makes a pretty nice one like that but I'm not sure. I already have Intake and headers so my car is already sort of loud and I would prefere it to not be too loud. Not loud enough to give a cop an erection when I'm driving to work anyway. =P Any suggestions?

been there done that
first, you have one header :squint:
second, the mugen exhaust is like $900+. do you really want to spend that much on an exhaust unless you're going for a complete NA buildup?
apexi ws or rs*r exmag i say

hmm.. you have one header.. as snoopy would say.. lol.. all you care about is the sound and not the preformance? dont even care about specs? mismatchin specs would get you less power gain.. but anyways..
i heard the apexi WS is pretty quiet
:edit: wow snoopy beat me to it

really $900 the guy at my shop said it was like $600. And I know I only have 1 header =p. I just got in the habit headers for some reason......Maybe cause there are multiple pipes. Anyway the rest of what you said flew right over my head. Not sure what you mean by "NA build up." I hear apexi is really nice though.

$600 for a REAL mugen exhaust seems shady :eh:

Ahhh NA, all engine. Gotcha. Just got in to doing up my car like 2 months ago. Still learning all the lingo. Sorry. Hmmm well, I don't want to spend that much on an exhaust. I'll check out Apexi. Thanks a lot.

chambered and twin-pass exhaust systems are the quietest. While the chambered exhausts put a slight restriction on exhaust flow, the amount is negligible. Twin-pass systems are the best - excellent flow, excellent tone...the best of both worlds.
Mugen and Hytech make twin-pass systems. But their prices make it a less reasonable choice. Isn't DC Sports working on releasing a twin-pass system???
The Apex'i World Sport is chambered - good flow, good tone (slightly louder than OEM). And the prices on them drop every few months.
I'd recommend the WS.
