whats a quieter option for exhauast?

I Vtec, do you? · 01-27-2008, 06:39 PM

,Prolly the evo2 if you're looking for that same low, deep pitch. It's a fair bit quieter, not something I'd want. Maybe the vibrant exhaust as well, I've been hearing good things about that

The funny thing is everyone is supposed to use their little extra cash this season to pay down their debts - credit, home, auto, etc...

Evo2

Never had a check engine light for my setup with those mods. If I were you I'd go with the evo2 if you worried about being too loud.

No CEL's here...well at least from my exhaust, and intake. I've got the Skunk 2 60mm and love it. I don't think it's too loud at all. If you want something a little more quiet than that go with the Vibrant. Check with Nitrous G35. He just got the Vibrant and loves it.

i also have owned the skunk2 70mm with and without a race header. sounds amazing, but too loud both ways. if you do not plan on installing a race header, i'd say vibrant. if you do plan on installing a race header, i'd say evo2 or comptech. i didn't have any issues with the skunk2 exhaust. great fitment and quality.

Ive got a DC which has been good to me,....(no welds failing) ,.....but a BCRH is going on tomorrow, so if it's too loud im gonna be going Evo2.

I had the evo 2 on my 06 SI. I liked it. I got it and had it put on by the dealer. When I traded it for a 08 Accord coup they tried to give me less for my SI because of the after market parts which was only the EVO 2. So if you plan to trad in your car keep the stock parts.
