LX Exaust favorites?
Whats up, 2k2 LX owners...what is your favorite exaust for our cars? Any performance difference
since you installed? How about the sound? Would you say it was worth the cash? I know of only
like two Cat backs for our cars...are there more?

I have the HKS Hipower rear section...highly reccomend
if you kie it quiet, its a great exhaust....i had my midpipe modified so now there is no reso and its a bit loud...quite loud actually...but it sounds cool...combined with the AEM CAI it sounds mean!!! performance wise...if you are leaving your stock midpipe on, you'll notice a bit of midrange to top end difference..a bit.....not much....with the straight pipe i lost some low end torque but it feels better at high rpms.... HKS also...my friend Hawk has the TCS on his EX and it sounds nice too...a bit quiet but still audible.....

anyways, i have an HP Racing J-Spec rear section. still have the stock intake, headers, and midpipe, so there wasnt that much performance gain. but the sound is great!! nice and deep, and barely noticable at idle.
i did notice a slight loss of low end torque, but i actually like it this way better, its less jerky in the low ranges, and the higher revs are a bit more responcive than before too.the sound is great tho!!! no real need to go with catback, but if you do, go with the TCS!!!!! you wont be sorry. that thing is friggin nice sounding.

Rep Power: 0 I have the Magnaflow - like a lot of people on here - and I love it. Don't know if it makes much difference compared to some of the others, but I like it. I've gotten some props for it too, since it's nice and deep, not one of those stupid-*** high pitched fart-cans. No offense, I just hate them, they sound really stupid IMHO.
And it might be all in my head, but there seems to be some performance gain with it, mostly in the higher-end RPM's. Not much, since I don't have any other performance mods like header or intake, but I can definitely feel a little more pull ..
Hope this helps man
Peace

Rep Power: 0 I've got an APEX N1 GT Jspec custom cat-back with 2 1/4 pipe and the Kamikazi header... OMG with it I went from 17.4 in 1/4 to 16.28 ... You do the math
. The muffler is kinda loud but not too bad. The low end is damn near gone but I think I will get it back when I get a high flow cat... The kamikazi replaces the stock "header" and the cat. So I'm lookin at a high flow to get me past emmissions and build a little back pressure. Maybe add 1 or 2 hp with the added back pressure...
