Re: Is this exhaust any good?

Great exhaust, one of my favorites. Magnaflow is one of the few that actually works on an LX also. They provide an extension pipe so that both are compatible.

Re: Is this exhaust any good?

At first I saw the ebay link and thought it was gonna be another shitty exhaust but magnaflows are great, one of the ones I was considering before I got my current one.

Re: Is this exhaust any good?

its bout the best exhaust you can get for our civics.

when reseraching for my exhaust it was either teh mag.flow or the RS*R...

RSR is a bit louder, and the mag is a lil more subtle...


the mag is a very smooth and clean sounding exhaust...

i can vouch for it.....cuz i have it.

plus its a 5hp gain (really) there main site has a dyno you can see...

Re: Is this exhaust any good?

i would also have to say the magnaflow is quieter than the rsr... I had the magnaflow but was a little annoyed with the U clamps and how the midpipe sits very low... other than that i loved the sound (not annoying whatsoever) and felt a very minimal gain from it. I now run a tanabe hyper medallion

Re: Is this exhaust any good?

shoot, i was gonna go RSR cause i've heard it's really quiet and stock-like, with pretty good hp gains.

I'll have to reread my options now.

No buddy, it is for both ex and lx because they come with an extra extension pipe.

Re: Is this exhaust any good?

quietest one? not sure. very quiet? definitely. it has a nice subtle tone you can barely hear while driving unless you really rev it but it still isn't that loud. I have it

Re: Is this exhaust any good?

welding is good but then you gotta cut it when you wanna take it off. like most exhausts especially the magnaflow, if your car is lowered and you go off on a bad angle the bottom of your tip will most def scrape, esp if you got fat chicks in back lol.

For the RS*R per a member on here, they said it was nice until it got hot, then it was just loud all over the place.
The magnaflow is nice a subtle all over, you'll def hear your intake (if you have one) over it but youll know your exhaust is there when you hit that sweet spot on your tach, especially downshifting.
