Exhaust help

[Jake98Civ]

Hey what size is the stock exhaust pipes that are on my civic. (98 Ex)..... what I am asking is most of the mufflers that you can buy say 2.5 inch inlet..... i didnt think that civic pipes were that big..... so basically what I am asking is if a muffler has a 2 inch or 2.5 inch inlet will it fit my civic by being welded on......

Damn ... I was hopin this thread was about trouble getting the exhaust off ... I was gonna say " if it doen't work at first, USE A HAMMER!!"

Anyway, don't quote me but I think the stock pipes are 1.25" to 1.5"

 

[Jake98Civ]

ok... so can i use a muffler that has a 2.5 inch inlet...... it can just be welded on.... is that right...

 

[Declectic]

well, im not sure bout you SOHC'ers

but on my Si, the stock piping is only 2.25 inches... or maybe its 2 inches flat??

if you get a muffler with a 2.5 inch inlet, just get custom mid piping done .. 2.5 inches mandral bent, but your going to need a different cat.converter for that to work . . with that is 2.5 inches obviously, and then the same would apply to your header

don't just get a muffler...rice. save up a little more cash and get a cat back system.

 

[Declectic]

but why get a cat back system when he can get a APexi N1 muffler and get custom mandral bent piping and have less restriction in the mid pipe for about the same price?

exactly, I have a Magnaflow muffler and am getting custom mandrel bent piping and my setup is going to not only cheaper but amazing sounding. Has anyone heard Magnaflow before? It sounds great.

Yea i heard it did before..... it sounds nice but this dude also took his Cat off and it sounds hella loud >.> then he put a resonator and now it sounds seksay

uuuuhh Si has a fat pipe. mine Ls has more like a 1.5 or 1.75 inch pipe and looks very ghey.

i guess what a Ex has a 1.75 or 2 inch pipe!!

ok so if i do just get a muffler... will one with a 2 inch or 2.5 inch inlet fit on my stock piping.... i know it has to be welded or whatever.... but it will fit right.....

 

[big_dan]

i was wondering if i got nice muffler now (have it fit to my stock exaust) and then saved up and got either custom piping or a catback would i still be able to use my muffler?

 

[munky]

Any good muffler shop should be able to get it on there... but yeah, either get muffler and custom piping or a full cat-back. Trust me.. I was gonna go that route but I'm glad I didn't.. GO FULL SYSTEM OR LEAVE IT STOCK

 

[O.Z Chi]

Leave it stock.

 

[chimchim]

What about going muffler/axelback?

6th gen EX is 1 3/4" pipe

 

[ArTex]

Hey you want a new factory Exhaust? I got one only has like 30.000 miles or less on it.

 

[big_dan]

im gonna go for a new muffler and then later im gonna get some custom piping

btw how much do you think is a good price to get custom exaust piping from the cat back

 

[slimddozen]

OK, THE ONLY REAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SI AND EX IS THAT THE SI HAS 30 MORE HORSES AND 7 MORE LBS OF TORQUE. MOD THE EX AND YOU HAVE A MATCH. THE SI WEIGHS A LOT MORE TO.
