Deep = Greddy Evo, but they are not really that loud IMO. I think they are one of the more quieter exhausts until you go over 5k RPMs. But it has a nice deep tone, and I think it's a great sound, but that's why I got it.

Dont get the EVO because when it rains it will expand and rub against the vehicle. i have the APEXi N1 and i love its not that loud..only people that say its loud are the people that dont have it...

hks is cheaper than mostof the exhausts since it comes as an axleback but its really quiet but from what u can hear of it its really deep has gotten me lots of compliments.. about 200 bucks cheaper than most others too..as far as intakes youll hear just about everything... the aem v2 is a short ram for our car so if u want aem ull probably be better off with the sri one but if u want it strictly for perfomance not looks, go for the fipk2...nice sound, best gain youll find for an intake

The best answer to your question is for you to find out for yourself what you like the best. How do you go about doing this? Follow the following threads to download sound clips or movies of each exhaust on a 7thgen:

Yes, you have to either have the midpipe cut/extended (I forgot which, search to find out there a kagillion threads on that), Or you can but a header that fits an EX, a hi-flo cat and a cat-back.

Dezod has a special on random technology hi-flo cat: http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...hreadid=140332

You can get an EX header from Ebay, one of our vendors, or the for sale forum.

And search around for the best price on an Exmag.

I have a DX. I am going to get a Kamakaze header (pick it up Friday). It's a catless header It allready has a downpipe. I am going to see if I can hook the RSR directly up to the header (there is supposedly about 1/4 inch space so you would normally need a customer fitting) by possibly modifying the hangers. If you look at pics of the Exmag (Boilermaker has one look in his gallery) then you can see that it sticks out just a little. If this is too much that I'll try and connect it directly to the header to eliminate that problem. If not, I'll have to get a small connecting piece fabricated to connect the two. The Exmag was made for the sedan (eventhough every RS-R you see is listed as for the 2-D coupe) so it is a little longer than it should be. Anyway, we'll see.

I don't suggest that you get a DC header, it would be cheaper, and about the same thing to put on a stock EX header. HP or Kamakaze are by far the best that I have seen for our cars.

IMO the ExMag I is better. I like how subtle the Exmag I is when compared the steriotypical exhaust we are using these days. I think the EXMAG I is a sleeper exhaust and that is exactly the look that I am going for. I want people to pull up next to me, think they are going to stomp my ***, and be crying when I stomp theirs.
