Rate Your Exhaust

Ok i'm sick of the exhaust questions so let's start a thread like the clubrsx one. http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread.php?t=68567
PLEASE - ONLY RATE THE EXHAUST IF YOU HAVE FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE WITH IT. Please help keep this thread the "go to" place for the important exhaust information and post questions elsewhere. REFER to the sound clips thread for obviously sound clips. If you want to search for a particular exhaust use the "search the thread" button on the top of this thread.

Fit 1 to 5: How well does it fit the car without cutting, making new hangers, etc. 1=fit like hell, all the way to, 5=fit tighter than stock without rattle.

Power 1 to 5: 1=less power than stock, 2=about the same as stock, 3=some gains, 4=very noticeable, 5=Feels like its been boosted

Loudness 1 to 5: Volume 1= Quieter than stock to 5= Loud, wakes the neighbors when you get on it.

After the name is the material: SS= Stainless Steel, PS= Stainless can only, AS= Aluminized Steel and then the pipe/tip diameter.

Also if you decide to update your review at any time just insert *UPDATE (and the date)*
__________________________________________________ ______________
*UPDATE 05/17/05*
DC5 Integra Type R muffler (same as new 05 RSX type s mufflers)

Fit - n/a this is a muffler only which i had welded to my custom catback piping

Power - 3 nice midrange

Loudness - 2 Stock with a deeper tone, just like the RSR exmag.

Great muffler that gives performance with out rice or fart cannon looks. It does have a larger tip but it still looks very clean. Also has a valve in the muffler that opens at higher rpms to increase exhaust flow.





Tanabe Tuner Medalion - SS (muffler only, custom piping)/2.25"/4"
Fit - - - - - - 4.6 (rattles in heavy rain/going through puddles/deep snow)
Power - - - - 2 (without silencer) 3.5 (with silencer on)
Loudness - - 4.5 (without silencer) 4 (with silencer on)

Power: 3 when I was N/A (nice mid-range and top end), 3 for FI...needs to be larger on the piping diameter

Loudness: 3 when I was N/A (kinda raspy, real bassy), 2 for FI...quiet, bassy low tone


Exhausts I had:

Fit: 4 rattles from time to time against my rear sway bar

Power: 3 when I was N/A (nice mid-range and top end)

Loudness: 5 when I was N/A (real raspy, real bassy, neighbors always complained)


5 Zigen Fireball http://www.dezod.com/pd_5_zigen_firbeall.cfm

Fit: 5 snug, fit real nice, minimal to no rattles....

Power: 4 nice low and mid-range, but died in the top end

Custom Exhaust Piping (turbo-back)
V-Force Muffler
Fit - - - - - - 5 Welded to the turbo, fits perfect
Power - - - - 5
Loudness - - 1

Here is a pic


Sounds like a higher end car. Sounds extremely clean, low, and somewhat quiet. Very low though. 0% rice sound to it.

Sounded like sh** before the turbo though, but fit good of course, gave like a 2 on power, and loudness is 4-5. Not anymore.


edit- Everything

I thought the Apex N1 is supposed to be loud. Loud like in the 4-5 range, atleast noticeable louder then the World sport? Are you making this rating with the silencer on?

apexi WS

Fit: 3 didn't install it.. however i hit a curb with it and it started rattling a lot, but i fixed the rubber hanger thing and its better. My friend got it for her 00si, and it didn't fit.. just to note, and apexi didn't refund her. tip is also not centered, however, most exahusts are this way

power: 2 can't really tell.. not much difference i guess, maybe loss of low end
loudness: 3.. just like stock for first two months, then gets louder. quieter then intake, can't hear it that well from the inside, but definately from the outside
