I drive a 2000 civic ex, so far my only mod is my AEM cai. i'm looking for a performance exhaust that has a deeper aggressive tone, no rice, and decent-to-good hp gains. I'm planning on getting a header, too, most likely a DC 4-2-1 stainless steel. I'm split a couple ways as far as exhaust goes, though.

Currently I'm looking at (all are full cat-back):

GReddy EVO 2 (which I've heard drones and rasps bad with a header, but great sound and pipe width)
APEXi N1 (loud with a 115mm tip, decent pipe width 60mm)
Tanabe Concept G (heard mostly good things, pricey though is it with the $$$?)
HKS Hi-Power (Pipes aren't stainless prone to rust, piping only 55mm, nice sound)

Which is better from all of these?
Any help deciding at all would be much appreciated

 

If you're looking for no rice then I think you should go back to the drawing board. All of those look pretty ricey and are too loud.


Coffee cans FTL

If you must have one of those, EVO2 is probably the best of the 4 IMO... but not by much.

 

Magnaflow!!!!!

 

When looking for a sound you like, look up these exhausts on youtube, they have many videos of civics with as many exhausts as you can think of.

 

Evo2 ftw! if they havent discontinued it already.

 

Umm I was looking at Meagn Drift Spec. It sounds really good (as long as you have the silencer in it). Look it up on Youtube, it should be for a 2000 Civic EX coupe black. It sounds great. Also maybe look at the Apexi WS2. Its quiet, but has a nice sound at higher RPMs. But it might be too quiet for you. I don't really like alot of those coffee can mufflers, most sound like crap and it seems pointless to me. Why put a loud exhaust on a stock civic with no major engine mods? Unless its a race car, why even bother?

 

Apexi WS2, Megan Muffler, or Magnaflow muffler with custom pipes. Those are the only ones I'd recommend.

 

I have always been a big fan of the RSR Ex-mag and Apexi WS2 exausts. they will get you about the same HP gains, and are much quieter and mellow tone and not obnoxiously loud.

 

If you can find one.

Also check out Greddy Spectrum elite, a bit expensive but sounds real nice and has good dimensions plus Stainless.

Look at my project thread, I have a video of it.
