after i get my rear lip in a few weeks im planning to get a cat-back...i been looking into Evo2 exhaust and blah blah blah but im confused on state emissions...how do you know if it'll pass inspection or not? i been trying to search and havent found my answer...i dont wanna buy the system and not be able to pass the yearly inspection. anybody know??

its a catback meaning its just a muffler it will not effect emissions at all. sound pollution on the other hand is questionable but being just a evo style you should be fine they are fairly quiet.

Yeah. You should be good. As long as the catco isn't fubar, you should be in good shape. NY sucks. You can't have fun here.

lol sound pollution

what you mean its just a muffler though? i thought it was pipes all the way to the engine bay? lol

but yeah thanks for the replies ...reps

 
Rep Power: 256

its from the catalytic converter back hence cat back.

 
Rep Power: 206

oh so i dont even need to buy a new catco?

do you guys know of any safe sites to buy the evo2 system from? ebay only got magnaflow and N1

 
Rep Power: 256

not unless there is something wrong with the cat you have.

or get the apexi ws2 they sound really good and cost less

on a side note your EX cat is under the car DX and LX models have the cat built into the header i think thats were you got confused . also you could get the ws2 universal muffler for alot cheaper and have a shop either weld it on or clamp it on for half the price of the cat back kit thats what i would do.

yeah i thought it was the same for every trim
but thanks for the sites!!!

wouldnt just the muffler be kinda ricey? i mean it is a lot cheaper though, i'll deffinatly be taking that option to consideration...im guessing the 60mm inlet piping is what would fit the stock piping

 
Rep Power: 256

why would that be rice its a nice sounding exhaust not a fart canon . and i don't remember the stock piping size but the shop can weld it on regardless.

 
Rep Power: 206

true...hmm thanks for your input i appreciate it i might just go with the muffler hahaha, i was looking through procivic and that Ti-C exhaust looked nice too!

 
Rep Power: 256

ehhh its pretty loud .

Rep Power: 206

damn it is loud, but it has that nice deep tone that i like though

Keep in mind that's in a semi-enclosed area. ****'s gonna echo and sound hella louder that it really is. I think my A'PEXi WS-II would sound like that in a parking garage.

 
Rep Power: 206

true...hmm yoo would just a WS2 muffler on stock piping sound the same as a full WS2 exhaust?

 
Rep Power: 256

to loud for my taste plus after a year or two thats going to get really annoying especially in the cabin trust me i use to have a n1 style tsudo that drove me crazy.

I see what you're saying.. that' f-er's hella loud.. lol.

 
Rep Power: 206

lol the camera couldnt even pick up the sound right ...crazziness i wonder if he has a CAI too

but yeah would a WS2 muffler sound the same as a WS2 full exhaust?? lol

 
Rep Power: 511

Wouldn't sound exactly the same.. It'd prolly be quieter.. stock is something like 1-7/8" piping0, and a'pexi's is 2¼" or 2½".. My gut's telling me 2¼" though.

 
Rep Power: 206

oh darn...-__- lol

cant seem to find a video for that they are all full catback
i just dont wanna spend all that money and wind up with something that sounds completely stock -_-

but i think thats the option imma go with for now...$260 for universal muffler, ordering it next week when i get paidd...again i appreciate the responses

 
Rep Power: 511

Why not just wait a bit longer and order the full cat-back?

Patience really is key to saving money while modding on a budget.

 
Rep Power: 217

Haha. +1 to that. I'm still saving up for my WS2 .

 
Rep Power: 206

word? its just that im so close to being done with my exterior that im so anxious hahahaha

but we'll see what happens...i dont think the universal muffler is gonna be long enough anyway

 
Rep Power: 256

they would just ad some piping to make it fit perfect.

 
Rep Power: 217

Yep. I've just had a lot of stuff going on since I got the car last year. I signed up for school, bought some tools, which we all know are f'ing expensive. I've really only spent money on necessary things for my car so far. Tires, brakes, oil changes and some other stuff. The only thing I spoiled myself with was an intake. But I get what you're saying. My car sounds okay with the intake on it. A little more aggressive, and a good exhaust would definitely make it sound nicer. I just have to control myself since I get super antsy once stuff starts coming out the way I want it. In due time. In due time.

 
Rep Power: 206

hahaha word its hard waiting and waiting

what kind of intake you got? CAI?
