just about every aftermarket exhaust will scrape (if you lowered)

you'll get many opinions from many ppl on this board. what are your priorities?
-sound
-performance (which is doubtful)
-looks (flush, simple, etc)
-price
-stainless steel? (so it wont rust)

etc. post your expectations and priorities in what you expect from an exhaust system. performance is very doubtful because bolt-ons give minumin to no performance gain.

just sound - deep not to loud
price does not really matters
does stainless steal effect alot ? i live in CA so I don't really think about it

GET THE GREDDY EVO-2
it sounds nice. its legal. it looks nice. it adds performance. its loud but not loud like the nasty ones.
definately cross out magnaflow. my friend has it on his teg and it makes the crappiest sound. Kinda like a rattling sound. DONT GET MAGNAFLOW

check out the members ride pics for greddy evo 2. very popular exhaust. the greddy evo I and II are the same exhaust i beleive for our year civics. other applications vary with the canister and sizing. the greddy evo I/II hands out a deep rumble tone from low rpm to high rpm. its not rapsy at all and stays deep toned from idle to redline. im not too sure about the performance of it, but my bet is it gives the same as any other aftermarket exhaust system catback

their are many performance shops in LA but if your willing to purchase it online, you can save up to 100 bucks because shops usually charge retail price (which not many ppl will pay for). ppl tend to purchase parts online because its cheaper and already in stock. and im not talking eBay. im talking about sites like www.importhorizon.com www.dezod.com www.truehonda.com and www.robearracing.com etc

as for the install, real easy. its just messing with nuts and bolts. very simple process and great expierence if its your first time going at it. it doesnt require special tools, just jack, jack stands, wheel chokes, wrenches and some slack. i installed a catback with another buddy in 2 hours since we were lazy and slacked off.

greddy evo II better than magnaflow? it depends. ppl like different sound and looks for everything they buy. check out the exhaust clip thread.. many clips of various exhausts in that forum. it'll give you the basic idea how it sounds (and looks)

as for the scraping, i have no idea since i never owned both exhaust. i do have the apexi world sport I which doesnt have a huge canister like greddy evo, but i still scrape since im 2" low all around.

when looking for an exhaust catback system, their are 2 different models for the civic 01+. the first one is the "ex" and the others are "dx/lx". the civic ex exhaust is slightly different than the lx/dx/etc models. you can search more info on this site about this minor issue but im not too sure if they make the greddy evo I or II for the civic lx. in the market, most exhaust seem like their meant for the EX models rather then dx/lx.

I have the magnaflow and I really like it. here are the pros and cons:

Pros:
Nice fit (at bumper), stainless steel, sound is great, affordable (I paid $219)and a very good brand. Easy Installation

Cons:
The pipe connections use U-clamps and they leak air, need to have it welded. sits a bit low, so may scrape.

I dont have any pictures -sorry. to show the fitment at the bumper

The Greddy exhaust is sweet. Just what you are looking for.
