Best Muffler for this situation

My friend has a 2000 silver ex. hes mostly exterior styling etc.. he doesnt really want to do anything to the engine because of financial reasons etc.. But he would like to have a muffler to make it atleast sound nice. He wants the loudest meanest sounding muffler he can for his car within a reasonable price ranger, under 200? He really wants it to be loud dont ask me why. anyways any help appreciated thanks.

being loud is a mistake man talk him out of that...especially if u have "finacial reasons" too loud u get pulled over...trust me i have duals in mi car straight pipe no resonator....it was one big mistake..it gets to u in a while.thank god i had silencers that came with the muffler.....plus sounds like ****.......get one that has nice deep quiet tone

I agree with that, tell your friend to get one of the tsudo cat backs for something, I have heard them and they sound nice as ****. And you spend like $100 more for this.

performance wise on our car, you wont get much between the 2. I have heard both and I think the N1 sounds a bot better. But both are a good choice.

I got my Megan Racing cat-back for $324 shipped (eBay), but I saw Tsudo looks similar, ita probably identical.. (sound, looks, etc)

It sounds really deep too, not ricey at all from inside the car, I was told that from behind it sounds a bit ricey.. but I did a drive by recording and it doesnt sound bad to me at all..

jttegx has a spectacular aura aboutjttegx has a spectacular aura about
if he wants crazy loud, tell him to buy a hi flow cat test pipe/resonator and run open cat. i did that and my car was so fcukin loud, i get paranoid driving around.

as for muffler, the apexi n1 sounds nice and loud but not from stock piping. if hes willing to invest into 200 or so, might as well add in another bill and get that tsudo catback that sells on eBay. i heard that exhaust system is pretty loud and doesnt sound that bad either...

and i cant beleive your letting your friend become more of a ricer. talk that fool out of doing stupid things for his ride. school him or something. go up to him and say "does loud mean faster?" in a sarcastic* tone. do something, not help him do the ricer things!

thats only 150, so is their any better near 200 or is that the best? lol wehenever i tell him what you guys say he keeps reminind me he wants it to be loud and mean lol. so i said "buy a v8" i guess he didnt think that was too funny

i was looking at this thread http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=71100

and is that apexi n1 in the video right there just a catback? and is it prety much the same as the tsudo n1 that i posted from ebay? i like that alot sounds mean.

Yes it is similar, but the one in the video uses custom piping, and depending on whether or not he got mandrel bent piping will also make a difference in how it sounds and performs. And the one on ebay uses mandrel bent piping. And it is bolt on which I think is better.

You arent really going to find anything cheaper. Maybe keep looking around for the same exhaust, maybe someone has a cheaper shipping price. It is a pretty good deal if you ask me.

what would you describe the tone of the this exhaust? is it a low tone or move of a high one? The one in the video of the apexi n1 sounds too me a little bit higher with kinda of a muscle car throaty sound, anyways all the reviews ive read say its a low tone muffler, but from the ideo it doesnt really sound that way? Anybody have any experience on the tone this tsudo n1 makes? if not thanks anyways guys youve been a big help.
