team integra might be a better place... just search for an answer.

Most people here will for the most part just rep what they've got on their car, and dont have that much experience with stuff other than what they have..

Ive got the Zigs, and its not too shabby for how much I got it for.

whatever you do, make sure you're getting the proper cat back.

Apexi WS 2 sounds real nice if you dont want a huge exhaust tip.

Big Hairy Gino 06-23-2005 08:25 PM

Ive experienced: Apex'i and Tanabe

how loud its gonna sound will depend on which style you choose.

Canister style (ie 5Zigen Fireball, Apex'I N1, Greddy EVO, Tanabe Racing Medallion) are all generally pretty loud because of their design.

Or you could go with the "stock" looking style exhausts (Apex'I WS, Greddy SP, Tanabe Hyper Medallion) and they sound very quiet. Almost close to stock.

Ive got a Tanabe Hyper Medallion on mine and its got a nice low tone. I love it!

^^ Wait a minute, didnt you sell your car? LOL

Anyways I also have the Tanabe Hyper Medallion full cat-back and this thing is nice deep and throaty. Its not like those fart cans, plus it looks good and is full stainless steel.

It wasnt the cheapest, but you get what you pay for.

Stay away from 5Zigen, I had one on my Integra originally, the canister rusted out from the inside. Replaced with a Greddy Evo which was quiet with the stock header and cat.

Right click and save as to hear what the Greddy Evo sounded like. This was with just an intake and exhaust, no other mods.

For my own sake... How long did you have it before that happened Wayne?

5Zigen sounds really freaky loud, but the buddy club spec 3 and 4 are all stainless steel, probably can last longer. hum,,,,

anyone know where is the Greddy and buddyClub dealer in toronto?

DooD 06-24-2005 01:31 AM

the apex'i ws sounds nice....but i don't think i like the way it looks or how it hangs low. Damn that was one of the only choices i liked. I thought the comptech would have been quiet...but it kind of sounds loud.

For a couple of years. The condensation from the exhaust is what rusted it out. Once I was backing up, and the tip touched the curb, the entire canister broke and you could see the rust inside.

96vtec 06-24-2005 02:45 PM

Really? Wow... Thats really suprising to me. All the stuff Im hearing about the 5Zigs...

Is my car really that loud? Anyone on the board tell me honestly from experience? I never thought it was that bad...Thought it sounded way better than 99% of the axel backs out there, and weld on mufflers... And the other thing. Ive had it on there for about 75K, maybe a bit more. Through 3 full winters of commuting weather... And the only thing that has a little rust on it is the flanges underneith...

Im really curious now... Any input people?

Thanks Sam, that was great help.

I knew I could count on you!

Here's the truth about almost every exhaust out there. In the car all exhaust sound amazing. It's once you let someone else drive your car away and you hear it from the outside, that's when your mind changes.

HKS Hi-Power sounds better than sex IMO not loud and and has a nice low pitch to it...the ones for gen2's have 2 resonators....Smart :D

When I sold my car and heard the new owner gunning it, man it almost made me cry. I miss my World Sport. :(
