Tanabe, Skunk, or Greddy exhaust 
Right now, I just have an aftermarket muffler thrown on my car,I couldn't stand the pea shooter look from the stock one. Anyway, I wanted
to go with a full catback, looking for mostly loud sound, but high power gains
as well. Between the Tanabe Race Medallion, skunk 2, and the Greddy Evo
exhaust systems, which would you recommend to get? Also, do you know
who has the best price for full catback systems?

Rep Power: 0 O KNOW HERE COMES THE TANABE GANG!!!!!.........JK
I have the Greddy I love it.....i bought it because I don't like the small muffler look of the tanabe....I like the canister look.
But yes.....the Tanabe Gang will be here in full effect soon!....lol
O yeah and the Tanabe is louder......if thats what you are looking for.

Rep Power: 0 sometimes people say the greddy rusts and then the people that actually own it never mention it. sooooooooo, what's the deal? does it?
edit: and even though the "exhaust clips" are KIIIIINDA helpful, the recording always distorts what they really sound like. i wouldn't base my decision entirely on that...

I got bombarded with Tanabe recommendations! I heard about Greddy rusting
too, does Tanabe rust? The muffler I have on there is already starting to rust,
which looks ugly. Also, it's just a muffler, and it's quiet as hell...even without
the silencer. You think if I throw in some headers, will it make my MUFFLER louder,
or should I just take the $ and get a full catback, then headers?

Rep Power: 413 The Tanabe is full stainless steel cat-back system. The piping and muffler is ALL stainless steel. It will NEVER rust!!!!
You can't throw on headers. our Civic's only have ONE "header".

Rep Power: 0 i'd have to say the greddy is nicer, i like how it looks, the tanabe looks bah ... i don't like how it looks. Greddy isn't loud and even with a header, its not bad. i like the deep low growl it makes when you gun it. in my opinion i'd have to go with greddy

Rep Power: 374 Tanabe has the looks, the performance ands the sound. You wont be dissapointed. ITs the best out there and gives you the best gains in torque and HP, dyno proven. Why go for anything less?

Rep Power: 0 I would recommend the Tanabe, my boyfriend has it on his car. Make sure you can fit other parts on later with the exhaust too. My example: I have a Thermal R & D exhaust, put on a Progress rear sway bar and they touched. I had to take it in to have the tubing adjusted. I think the DC Sports TCS is the only one that people say really is hard to fit other things with. Tanabe my opinion.

Rep Power: 0 I'd go with GReddy. Tanabe is nice, but everyone and they mama has it. J/K. Anyways, it depends what you want. Like ppl say the GReddy is the canister look which I also like, but Tanabe is louder if thats what you're looking for.
As for the pipes rusting on the GReddy, it will take 3+ years for the piping to rust all the way through. And if you take into consideration the stainless still pipings, they might get holes after 3 years. DOnt tell me that stainless steel is totally rust/weather proof. Ever notice those cars that sound all loud becuase their exhaust system is messed up or has holes??
But yea, GReddy is not stainless steel piping but Tanabe is. GReddy is the canister look while tanabe has a smaller can. BUt as for loudness, tanabe is louder. And as for Tanabe getting the best gains, I have my doubts. THey are all about the same becuase our car doesnt really respond to mods.
