    well my exhaust is rattling like hell and sounds like its about to fall apart.... which it is

    what is a good exhaust that sounds good. price isnt an issue as long as it isnt like $1k

    what sounds good but doesnt sound like the typical fart can bullshit?

    custom build?

    pipe size depends on motor, future plans, turbo/ n/a but 2 1/4 should be fine.

    magnaflow, and a few other mufflers arent too ricy sounding,
    FLOWMASTER makes an exhaust for the crx, that isnt loud at all, but still sounds nice (its not like a truck lol)

    get a ebay cat conveter and then get a custom downpipe job. its practically silent.

    look at "the new guy" thread on new members, and look at mine.

    i dont have the cat conveter cause i have a turbo, but the 3" downpipe and muffler, sound like best exhaust youve ever heard.

    3" ??? yeah right. are u jsut saying 3 in. "downpipe" as u call it, and then smaller or 3 all the way back?

    cant jsut say 3 inch dp and muffler, theres a pretty good bit of piping between the two.

    If price isn't an issue go for an exhaust like the GReddy or Thermal R&D, they run about $500.

    You could always buy my exhaust! Its a skunk2 catback. It sounds aggressive as hell LOL.


    Well my favorite (and future) exhaust is the buddyclub spec II. Its like one of the best exhaust on the market and its a lot cheaper then most catbacks. The only flaw is it exits on the wrong side of the car, but still look hot as hell.

    yea, but... idk, w/e.

    lol my car is slow, so i dont throw massive amounts of money at it to get it fast, i've just faced the fact that the motor has no potential, lol.

    Maybe one day i'll sell the ZC and get a b16 and call it a day

    Even tho I say the ZC is a worthless motor, it has the same potential as an a6. I would get invest in a greddy turbo kit for it since I hear that kit was first designed for the ZC. Plus, that kit is less than $1500.

    Go custom. It'll run you about 200-300$. No rasp. I know a great shop in Marietta. I haven't been there myself, but I sent a friend there, and he had no complaints...

    B16 - 2"
    B18 - 2.25"

    Of course...if you get a turbo, I don't think size of exhaust matters...but turbos aren't my field of expertise..

    you just need to put some new muffler bearings on there and your old exhaust will be fine.

    turbos like bigger exhaust than that. as big as you can get basically. makes it easier to spool

    the problem is, i need the exhaust now. i cant wait to do a swap and then do the exhaust.... i guess ill just get a stock replacement for now. nothing fancy just new pipes and shit.

    ill do a nicer one when i get around to doing the swap. and i wouldnt expect a stock replacement to be more than 250 or 300.... so thats not bad.

    but then again i had one made for my last crx and it cost me 450.... and it was just stock. but i know a guy that does an AWESOME job over near tucker and ill go check it out

    Both of those are good choices.
