Well as the title suggests, i have a few questions, I am thinking of getting an exhaust for my civic i have an 02 civic Lx Coupe, i dont really want to spend over $400 and nothing ricey, and i'd like to lower the car as well, i found skunk 2 coilovers are they any good??? and headers are dang near impossible to find for an LX any suggestions would be great, thanks in advance..

exhaust is really a personal preference, magnaflow makes a good catback for the ex, i have the flowmaster axelback muffler, not too loud, but sounds good, specially if u remove the resonator, lots of people also claim the apexi exhaust is good too, secondly, springs are really about how low u want to go, skunk2 seem to be a good choice, as are progress, goldline, and eibach. lowering is great, makes cornering really fun, and gets rid of that bouncy ride that our civics are great at. before u drop, get a camber kit, and get some struts too, cuz ur stock ones will blow sooner than they normally would, however u can get by on the stock ones for a while, im on my stock fronts stil l after a year, but my rears blew in only 3 months, and lastly, there seems to be only one header for the lx, which is made by kamikaze $300, i just got one, sounds good, and flows really well, but eliminates the cat, so u will get a check engine light from it... if u want to really do some worthwile upgrades, swap to the ex head, its not very hard, and ull get better performance out of it, plus exhaust will be cheaper, and u wont have cel problems.

hmm..i love the WS2 from what i've heard it's got a great tone and i'm running an Injen SRI, any idea how the V2 stacks up as far as sound, i know i'm gaining no power with the SRI i just like the sound, no twang, how much are those teins new, i've heard nothing but good about the Tein products
