Is it possible to buy a good exhaust system for $200 or less? Can anyone recommend some good ones?

I drive a 99 EX.

 

Not unless you can find a shop to fabricate a custom one. Even then, the muffler will be $100-300 for a decent one.

 

save the cash and buy an apexi wsII or an RS*R trust me if u want something quiet and still give you some nice gains look no further

 

How much should I expect to spend for a good catback exhaust?

 

you're looking at $450+ for a decent cat-back

 

i got the cat back exhaust system,for $230.custom piping,and a magnaflow muffler.another shop wanted to charge $265.

i got a 93 civic ex/coupe by the way

 

Ask what kind of piping they use. I know that around here theye just use steel thats not stainless. I wouldnt want my exhaust rusting out in a few years. I paid 501 shipped for my GReddy EVO2 catback

 

stainless steel is more expensive,and heavier?...last longer,thats a good thing...


then again,the aluminized steel is cheaper,does the same job,and last for a few years,i got told that they usually last for around 8 years,not too bad.i doubt any1 will have their cars for that long,since they only keep gettin older and you'll want a better/newer car.dont get me wrong,i love my ride.just my thinking though.

 

you can find a Megan drift spec cat back for around $300

 

not possible to find a good exhaust under 200.... trust me man, I used to think theres no difference but there is... for the longest time i was an ebay junkie (ebay is great for tons of stuff, just dont buy anything off ebay that doesnt give a good name brand) and dont fall for that "greddy style" "apexi style" crap either.... spend 400-500 and get a nice new exhaust or get a nice used one for 250-300
