damn ur lucky...im prolly gonna end up paying 220. So our stock piping is 1.75? Would a increase in size to 2.25 make it sound louder and maybe give some horse power?

Mandrel isn't too much more expensive, and also a crush bend will rust at the pinch points overtime.(Depends where you live too I guess) I do find it's a lot better when your exhaust has a smooth path on the way out, seems to also help get the right tone. I just started tuning my civic and I pulled off the stock exhaust and mid-pipe and put on this APC muffler, costed like $150 at an Autozone. Anyway thing sounds kinda crappy. Time for me to get HKS too.
