Back to stock exhaust? NO
Should I take off my thermal rear section and put my stock exhaust back on? It's a sedan and the stock one curves down. I'm just sick of people doing dangerous crap around my car because they see a fartcan. That's the only thing I have that's not OEM. So what do you think?
I finally brought my stock muffler back from home and installed it today. It was wet and raining, and it took an hour to get those bolts off. One was really tight and took lots of muscle to move. I'm happy now without any exhaust noise and some backpressure gain.
I'm thinking of just leaving it, of maybe getting a tip. It's the sedan exhaust, so the tip curves downward. Thanks guys.

Rep Power: 811 It's back to stock. Couldn't stand the bass noise anymore and power loss. Once again going back to OEM gives better performance.

Rep Power: 811 Lol. I just want a normal car. It still has good mods, just not obvious ones. I'm trying to keep a low profile. 
Exhaust sound got annoying.

The thing I noticed is that a lot of people get horny when they see the 7thgen stock radiator... because it looks like an intercooler through the lower grill 
Don't worry them. Any Civic will attract more attention than it's worth. Just deal with it or buy yourself a lesser profile car like a Kia or and Oldsmobile.
on the + side with your aftermarket exhaust off, you'll be less likely to catch a cop's attention. depends on the cops in your area

Rep Power: 811 Is that a direct replacement? Cause it would look nicer than the sedan one that curves down. The funny thing is I still notice a rumble after the stock exhaust went back on. It's quiet, but not completely.
