Exhaust Options

[SeverX13]

Ok i know this was probaly covered b4, i searched and still cant really find what i want. Anyway, i want my exhaust to be LOUD. but i dont want it to sound like a weedwacker. i was a deep aggressive pud sound. I was think about a header but im not sure what PA emissions are. anything i can do with the pipes? right now i have a muffler tip. i love the sound of it but i just want it louder

thanks all

actually, the tip doesn´t do **** to sound, its purely visual. Talking about headers, the 3S-GE has a steel-heades in stock, I guess its different in states versions?

~2,25" piping with a good sporting muffler should do the trick for you.

If you want a low throtty exhaust go 2.5" all the way with a Magnaflow muffler.

If you want inspection ticket loud you could run open headers but it'll probably not be that deep of an exaust tone and you'll have no backpressure.

Get an engine with more cylinders. All 4 cylinders pretty much sound the same...

Fork out the money for a Borla muffler. They are the deepest I've heard on a 4-banger.

all i have is stock exhaust with a cheap ractive or vibrant muffler, i dunno its one of those cheapy ricer ones u see going on those civics all the time...it sounds wicked, very very deep sound until i hit high rpm then all i hear is my intake just sucking and sucking and sucking

i have a the JDM greddy SP1 and it is pretty quiet. if you want to be real loud just do straight pipes....but u wont pass PA emissions. if you run headers, with a catback exhaust, and buy a test pipe that'll be pretty loud, then come emissions time, throw the cat back on there. PA is real lazy with their emissions test. you'll pass


and i agree with everyone else 2.25 dia. is good enough

x2 I have 2.25 but honestly the header made all the difference.

headers, id say around 150 for a decent set. exhaust, mine is used i got it for 170. new catbacks are around 200. and if you buy a test pipe it'll b around 75-80. it all depends on what brands you are going after

and if you are buying them new or used
