I was thinkin of getting an Apexi N1 Cat-back, but want to keep the noise down. I know these come with a silencer. From what I can see, the silencer just sticks in the end of the exhaust and just seems to make the opening smaller.
What I wanna know is, if the silencer defeats the purpose of the high-flow exhaust, will it be better to get a quiet high-flow muffler and some custom pipes from the cat back?

 

Here's the link for the silencer: http://www.autocarparts.com/part/list/16/

 

just get a quiet exhaust.....the silencer just restricts is more.

 

so, you're sayin to just get custom pipes with a quiet, high-flow muffler?

 

ya thats what i plan on doing........i like exhaust on muscle cars.....thats it......a civic aint going to sound like a SVT Cobra........so id rather have it sound like nothing..........unless i could get it to sound like a G35 or 350Z
