just dont get Thermal R&D, I got it and it sounds like a stock system. I was very dissapointed, no growl, not even a lil bark. I def do not recommend. Im using the mid pipe for a dual exhaust set-up.

i have thermal R&D stealth and at low RPMS you can hear a little exhaust but at mid to higher rpms its all intake. its a nice quiet exhaust but when you floor it can get loud. sounds awsome too. i'd def suggest this one.

no growl?? we own 120 HP civics not triton v8's. you won't ever hear your civic growl. and no one wants a loud deep drone or raspy buzz in their ear and plus it sounds obnoxious.

ok, lets all degrade each others opinion, thats how people who join a web site because of common interests should act. like little 12 year old boys. Geez, I dont like it, respect my opinion, it sounds like ****. I think that of your opinion as well.

Sincerely,

dc sports tcs

hey i got a 2k1 civic and i put the dc sports tcs on mine. its nice, u know the whole point of the canister sys is to lower the noise but keep the hp gain. plus the tip looks different compared to everyone else.

im with importz on this one. greddy isnt annoyingly loud, but it still has a great sound. makes the 4 banger sound beefier. not like it just has a hole in the exhaust.

I dont have personal experience with any of theses but from what ive heard Greddy sounds the best and DC gives good power and keeps the interaction with the law to a minimum

DC sports is terrible on our cars when it comes to performance. I personally would go with Tanabe, but it is all up to you.

Nearly any aftermarket exhaust system you get will overpower the sound of the intake. I can only hear that sucking noise when i am at idle. I've got the greddy evo. I love it, real good tone.

my opinion anways

DC TCS is, what ive heard, nice and low tone untill you really get on it. I personally dont care for Greddy. Too many around my area. Some want to switch because of noise from the exhaust and performance issues. I still have to put it on, but I will pm or reply after tomorrow when I put the exhaust on. I got it for 489 from Rob. Quick response from order.

let me tell you, thermal sucks. i was shopping around for exhaust for a while and now i'm stuck between A'PEXi N1 or the GReddy Evo. something to consider is GReddy is 50 state legal. (f**k cali smog laws)

APEXI N1

I have the apex-i N1 and i love it. It has a deep, low tone in low RPM's but when u get on it it'll let u know. It has beautiful TIG welds, its mandrel bent and just altogether a quality piece. Plus i think the muffler is the most attractive of the ones listed. Call me a ricer, but i love the HUGE tip. Ive never had any other exhaust, but u cant go wrong with the N1.

DC TCS. I put it on and love it. Fits very nice to the car. almost no noise when idle, and very little when a/c is on. I still have to put on the header though. Exhaust was easy to put on. Instructions very clear.
