APEX N1
Fit = 3, hangs a lil high and has melted one bumber already, hanger bars grind against a metal part of the car(does a civic have metal on it?)
power = 3, a friend of mine has a cavalier...we've been squarin off since we both got our cars. He had to learn to shift better to keep up after installing this
sound = 5, everyone knows when i'm coming. I don't even use my horn to signal people(honestly) I just rev a couple of times. Produces a nice tone thanks to a hiflow cat and whateverbrand headers i have(can't remember right now).

Power:2(only because the D17's don't respond to bolts ons for ****! maybe around 5-7 at the most)
loudness: 3( i prefer quieter exhausts over louder ones! nothin is worse than driving on the highway to work and having a swarm of bees following you!)

Just installed Supertrapp Wavetech tuneable muffler.
*SS construction with super deep tone.

*Remove discs to quiet and increase low end power.
If you put in the max number of 12 discs, your car will wake the dead and the interior will rattle.
I have 5 discs in due to the 7000 RPM redline on my engine. It is still loud at wide open throttle, but I can't compare the power difference to the previous Apexi N1 because the motor has been upgraded a little bit more.
