Default Need an exhaust???

I have a 07 Si Sedan and am about to install a full greddy turbo kit. I wanted to wait til they came out with a full cat-back exhaust but I can't wait any longer.

So I need an exhaust and dont have a clue what to do...NEED some advice.

I was thinking about going with the Skunk2 Mega muffler but what do I need to know about custom systems?

What kind of shop do I look for to do the work?

Please help!!!!!

look for muffler shops in your area... not chain stores though. they usually don't do custom. try your local yellow pages - that's where i found my exhaust shop. anyways, get whatever muffler you think looks/sounds nice, and have them custom fab you a mandrel bent exhaust with 2.75-3" piping. probably 2.8 ish would be good. the new civics are MUCH better than the last gen, especially the si edition

make sure you get a good resonator, too... otherwise, you're exhaust will sound like ****. I've heard Magnaflow resonators are amazing. I'd search around for a dedicated exhaust shop. Talk to people that had custom work done at certain shops (if you can find anyone who's had custom work); see what they have to say about that particular shop. And with turbo setups, you need piping 2.5" or bigger; 2.75 or 3 would be perfect, like my05 said.

But have you ever driven the new one?

There isn't even a comparison. Your gen got a crappy platform, and a crappy K.

sorry to say, but the crappy k part is at least true.
