Muffler size...

[P0gKai]

What the size of the pipe/tube (whatever u call it) of a stock 98 civic? is it 2.00" or 2.5" ?
Also what good muffler fits it? its a offset/center.
I'm looking for a deep sound for less than $100.

a muffler for under $100 bucks...that aint gonna happen....One of the best, but also really cheap in my opinion is Magnaflow, good sound...check that out...as far as stock pipe size, I belive its 2"

 

[FhCRubarb]

They have some cheap ones for like 50 bucks on e bay

 

[P0gKai]

I know! I'm gonna bid on one and a magnaflow cat converter so is like 50% catback!

Remember you get what you pay for.

Don't worry its a Magnaflow..not some cheap imitation.

If I replace my 95 civic's piping with 2.5" piping do you guys think it will make a big difference in sound and performance? If not, what size would you recommend? I don't want ricey sounding exhaust, my muffler is magnaflow so it shouldnt really be a problem, I'm just curious. I also don't have to worry about emmisions because I live in canada but i don't want it too loud b/c of the po pos

Get 2 1/4" piping. Anything above that is overkill IMO. My piping is way too large on my Apexi WS but I am going turbo soon so that will change. My OBX muffler sounded awesome - if you use the stock piping you have to weld an extension piece on. Make that piece 2 1/4"

I wouldnt go any bigger than 2 1/4 inch because you start to lose back pressure and that will hurt horse power

That sucks.. 1.75"...how much a new piping of 2" will cost?

 

[91b18hatch]

i got custom mandrel bent 2.25" piping for 116 done. i also bought one of those $50 mufflers of ebay, a dual tube one, and i have to say that it is really deep, but also really loud bc i have no cat

 

[rey rey]

go with 2.25 for the best results. As far as cost........ that totaly depends on where you take it 75-125 i would guess. you gat a header for it yet?
