Well what I wanto to do is this. I want to increase the pipe size to 2.25" or so and continue to use my ansa muffler which was a direct bolt on off of another civc. The muffler is here in video with stock piping, and it already has a nice deeper sound then the magnaflow I had welded on.

(My shoes are in horrible shape there, lol)

Anyways, if I add say some piping from one of those ebay catbacks as I see they have 2.25" piping, would that be a wise idea and still use my ansa muffler, or should I get some custom work done. Also, how much louder would that exhaust be with larger piping, as its nice and quiet on highway cruising right now! I think it needs a longer resonator anyways to get rid of the rasp, correct? Thanks for any help

 

it will be considerably louder, but the resnator will help it out, and yes the longer the better. I'd go custom if i was you, dont even worry about possibly getting some piping with a sh*tty weld or something, idk, i'd say just go custom, it cant be that much more expensive.

 

jc whitney has piping

 

Ill go the custom route, and thanks marty for jc, its a good website that I can find some usefull stuff on! Thanks flip for your input too
