Read the stickies or search.

There isn't even a skunk2 exhaust FOR the R18.

The only exhaust options we have are magnaflow, greddy ti-c, and tanabe.

If you want quiet get tanabe. You're probably not gonna wanna pay the cash for tanabe so get the magnaflow.

It has a nice deep growl that isn't too loud.

Stock Si muffler is the best....on an r18 you won't be getting any gains from exhaust anyway.

i read some of the stickies but most are for the Si. i also searched up tanabe and i think they don't make an exhaust for the r18.

my stock Si muffler is too loud, do they make a quiet tip insert? lol jk

but when i had the EX, i did the Si muffler swap and it definitely increased some exhaust volume, not much tho. It did backfire too when you'd let off the gas.

hi there, i'm from Singapore. Current ride is a Civic 2.0L Auto with (triptronic function). just done up my exhaust yesteday. Its a Mugen Sport Silencer. Very quiet and almost sound stock until you do hard rev say from 3k rpm onwards. the whole car felt tighter (think could be due to the release of couple of horses and torquier.) not sure you guys in the state use this.

I drive an EX coupe and recently replaced the stock axleback exhaust with the Si one.

There definitely is a deeper growl and a nicer tone to the exhaust but it is NOT loud. That was exactly what I was looking for however, :)

I'm happy with the swap; and it only cost me $50. :-D

If you're going to spend 300$ for a HFP muffler you might as well spend 50$ more to get a magnaflow catback.

Don't know if they make it for an R18a, but the Apexi WS2 is one the quietest exhaust out there.

yup yup, i like the way it looks :) i'm gonna figure out a way to get the nice shiny silver back. And it's ok that it's dirty, that's what happens to used things. :) plus, i got it for cheap anyways right?

THanks for the quick shipping and everything!
