alright I'll do the explaination on each one so I can save you time.

GReddy EVO 2- Low Deep Hum not too loud and looks great

A'pexi World Sports 2- Little bit louder than stock and keeps the stock style muffler

JIC Spartan something- Lightest one of the pack and its loudest but sounds great

TRD Exhaust- is really just the muffler unless your planning to do your own piping this is just going to be a VERY expensive muffler with not barely any gains.

So now it is up to you to choose what YOU really want.

people get exhausts for different reasons...

performance

sound

look

...

tell us which one you want. if you're stock, then adding the exhaust will make you lose some torque and gain like 2 hp... the 4 exhaust is not that restrictive (same as the 6...)
1GR-FE ftw!

No offense to anybody on that last comment, but I have a wannabe neighbor with a base model Civic DX with the only speed improvement being a bunch of Chiquita Banana and VTEC (hell, even VorTEC for GM's LMAO) stickers on a non-VTEC, and of course, a loud exhaust that wakes me up every morning that sounds like a lawnmower gnawing through metal and I just about have had it!


the 4 cylinder 02-3 has a deeper growl than the v6... we'll never know why lol

Flowmasters may be too open if you're not supercharged... if you want the american growl, just get a straight pipe made. It's mean... but it's also really REALLY loud =\ straight pipe + silencer would be perfect (and by silenced, I mean normal exhaust volume, lol)

Just take the muffler off and use a straight pipe. It sounds great and you dont need to buy a new muffler. Thats what I did
