Funny, I asked essentially the same question in June of 2007: http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/bolt...s-mellowest-cat-back-exhaust-you-can-get.html

aki the evo is a very mellow exhaust if ur jus running the exhaust with normal cat and header ive had this exhaust b4 and another one of my friends as it aswell and with jus the exhaust it is very quiet compared to most of the other exhausts and its well known for this rep

Go with the tanabe medalion touring. I just got it on my 06. Dare I say, it's got a slight beefier tone than stock, but its not louder at all. In fact, in certain ways its quieter than stock. Keep in mind I'm saying this while running a vibrant header with it.

tanabe g.... i own it and i get told all the time that it's quiet...
now with my strup header installed last week, i bit of difference, alittle louder...
some websites, have "test how loud button".... go test them!

I would have to say the Tanabe Medallion Touring exhaust is the closest to stock that I've heard. I've owned a Apexi WS2 and a HKS Sport Ti and they are both really quiet but the tone on the WS2 makes it sound different than stock and the HKS sounds a lot deeper than stock but still really quiet. I've also heard a Greddy Evo 2 in person too and it's a little louder than the WS2 and the HKS.

the greddy is a great system its not too loud and the tone is reli nice, the apexi i thought was louder but its jus a different sound, but if you jus go to youtube all of these systems r on there you can just hear it for your self in sted of everyone jus basically giving there opinion and theres also a thread on this site that has almost every system for our cars on it with a sound or video clip of it..

Not to thread jack, but... I have a Vibrant Race Header w/ HFC. I want something that will give me more power, without making my car any louder. In fact going quiter = better. Any ideas?

Jdm_2009 · Mar 6, 2009

HKS by far. Nice deep tone to its very quiet. I would say its a little different than stock and no drown on the freeway. Look at the thread about it you wont regret it.

Greddy SE. Its just barely louder than stock. Sounds great in vtec.

BRSi · Mar 6, 2009

Vibrant, but if you add a header forget it. It will be loud inside the car. I'd say go for Fujitsubo.

Sounds like a good plan now that i think about it. Not wanting to get flamed but most aftermarket exhausts for hondas (and other cars for that matter) sound like ****. Just my .02

Find a good local muffler shop. Let them fab up something for you. 2 different resonators along with a good muffler would be nice and quite. Or 1 resonator, 1 glass pack, and 1 good muffler.

Well I agree with this, but there are a couple options that sound nicer than stock.

HFP
Greddy SP2
Greddy SE
Apex'i WS2
LSD (coupe)
SRS (lol ebay but it sounds nice)

Aside from the above, aftermarket exhausts sound like weed-whackers at higher RPMs, and that even includes ones like Mugen.
