2001 civic ex 4 door exhaust, what to buy

I own a 2001 civic ex 4 door and want to purchase a catback exhaust. Performance in mind but not obnoxiously loud. Any recommendations?

if u want performance, and you're stock; dont get a cat-back exhaust system..... cuz you'll be losing low-end torque...we cant afford to lose anymore torque...

i sugest you get an AXLE-back instread of a cat-back.....HKS has a REALLY nice one... not to loud.... and i heard it in real life too....... its sweeeeeeeet...

i didnt really notice any torque loss, but i kept the stock header. if you look under the car, the catback piping is the only part thats smaller on our cars. the dp and cat is huge, then the piping really shrinks. but imo catback matches the size better. i have the RS*R exhaust magic, it looks the best to me and tucks nicely when using oem coupe kit (i have sedan, yes it fits). Just had to get the hangers adjusted cause it was touching bumper at first.

Hey gearbox just curious as to where you bought the exhaust from, and how you knew the coupe exhaust would work. And by the way car looks nice!!

methinks he meant the oem lip kit was made for a coupe but works on the sedan.
