exhaust advice
Ok so Im looking to get a single or dual catback exhaust for my 2k1 civic
the problem is that since im only 16.5 everything that goes on my car my parents would need to know about. They are preety linient on buying small things. But since this is something rather noticible they say no. im trying to convince them to let me get an ehaust but my mom said to talk to my dad.
So im hoping that some of you with an exhaust can tell me some benifets of having it like improved gas mileage and stuff like that.
Hopefully I can convinve him to let me get.

Rep Power: 0 maybe just try to get them to go for an axle back. that way, it isnt as "big" a purchase. a full cat back looks big, but an axle back is only one piece and a muffler.
well, exhausts tend to be a BAD thing to get as far as gas milage or anything else goes. Your only real arguments could be that they would be less restrictive for air, and won't rust when it rains (but being in Los Angeles, I'm sure it never rains). I'm sure you know that exhausts tend to make loud noise, and it's something that your neighbors will just love T_T;;
Intake, on the other hand, you can argue that it does give u better gas milage, acceleration and other whatnot.

You are only 16.5? You sound like you are 2. You don't use "halfs" any age after 8.
Exhausts are good for attracting cops, losing gas mileage and scraping on speed bumps.

Rep Power: 0 What are they gonna do if you get one against their wishes? If you really want a cat-back, just get it......you might get punished, but seriously...who cares? I sure as hell didn't when I was "16.5". (Gee, I'm a real good influence!)

yeah its true..they cant really do nething about it. i thought maybe my dad would take my car away but i just went ahead an got rims and a drop and when he saw it he actually liked it so bleh..just do it.
and oh yeah..
16.5 = 16 1/2 .......1/2 = a half. 
just wanted to clear that up.
and oh yeah..
