Exhaust setup for and LX?
i had an lx to ex exhaust conversion on my car, but i was driving without a front sway bar, so i took that off. i was wondering, how could i put an exhaust on my car? does anyone know of any good brands that make an exhaust for an lx? and how could i keep it rather quiet? if i keep the stock resonator on there will it be quieter?

Anyways....I have the Kamikaze Header, Tanabe Extension Pipe, and Apex-i N1 Exhaust. Sounds LOUD!!!!!!!

the magnaflow exhaust system with stock header is quiet as hell, that's what i have. but i threw in the kamikaze header and its louder now 
only problem with the magnaflow exhaust is the muffler and midpipe, it always scraped on things...even at stock height

Rep Power: 0 yeah i think we did project2k2, but like you said, your setup is loud, i want a quiet one. greenvicious, is teh magnaflow exhaust for an lx? and did it go all the way up to the stock exhaust manifold/catalytic converter on the lx?
yeah, its for the LX, that's the only reason i got it, i didnt feel like getting adapters for 100 bucks to get EX exhausts. direct fit, just remember that ify ou're gonna DIY, make sure to get welded up too, and by a good shop. The shop that put it on and welded it did a horrible job, i had the biggest exhaust leak for the longest time, but finally got around to taking it to my buddy to get it fixed

I believe thermal makes a good catback exhaust. Derek (site owner) had one installed on his LX a long time ago. Maybe you can PM him and ask.

Rep Power: 0 heres an idea i had. what if i did have a muffler shop do the work? i could get an aftermarket muffler, and from the outside it would look practically stock. what size piping should i get if i do this? and about how much would it cost?

Rep Power: 387 For a complete custom exhaust? Depends on the shop actually.. Normally a catback will run you between $350+ so I would assume a completely custom exhaust would hover that area..

Rep Power: 0 My boss and I installed a custom stainless steel exhaust on my 02 lx. Cost him around $80 for 2 1/2 in dia. pipe in a 10 foot pole. We used all of that plus another 3 feet. Then used stainless steel clamps and rods to hold it in place. Total cost of parts around 150...and about 3 hours to get it perfect.
