Looking at a switchout
 

I recently put on one of those universal ebay now what I realize is a POS muffler and is not loud at all. I am looking at swapping it out and putting on a cherry bomb extreme muffler and switching the resonator out for straight pipe. Does this sound like a good idea, or do yall know of something better....FEEDBACK MUCH APPRECIATED!

loud doesn't necessarily equate to aurally pleasing. get on youtube and search for ur car with various mufflers, i.e. ractive, mugen, flowmaster, etcetera etcetera

I actually found one on youtube on a 02 civic and it had a good tone and sound, not super loud....Also does anyone know the inlet and outlet pipe size of a 00 EX Civic??

heres the link

ex/lx/dx/cx/hx stock exhaust pipe sizing is 1.75"

That exhaust sounds like crap IMO. Raspy, noisy, and extremely unnecessary. If you like it, go for it I guess.

My suggestion would be for something a little quieter, like an Apexi WS2.

Yeah i talked to the guy he said it isnt as raspy it was windy that day... What about just a full catback instead? I want performance but also economical...if that makes sense..

well i own a ractive muffler and it sounds good but i also have DC headers and no cat and its a full 2inch exhaust but its fairly loud

wtf is ractive? stock civic piping is 1 7/8". Bumping to a 2" is almost worthless IMO.

BTW, Grants.. you have one header, not headers (unless you have another header sitting in your garage for some reason :D), and I wouldn't go around toting that you have removed the cat. Not too many members here would promote you doing this.

well my bad on the header thing sorry i am use to v8 forums and 2 its a fake cat it passes air care and i could careless about them. and hoesntly they are useless if you have good edmissions

and to add i bought the car with the exhaust that way it wasnt my choice
