#62129 Hello all,

If I was to purchase a cat back system for my hatch does the cat back include a high flow cat convertor or is this something extra I would need to purchase to put between the headers and the exhaust?

Also are there any manufacturers that make a system that doesnt end with a massive cannon on it?

I'd prefer to have high flow and keep the noise as low as possible, does such a thing exist?

Cheers

#62142 in regards to the massive cannon question. spoon makes 2 different mufflers that do not have cannon tips

this is the N1, however, it is 110db which is pretty loud. you can buy a silencer for it for about $60. Spoons other muffler is the street type s, which is 90db and very low key. I know tanabe prides itself in its catback exhausts that deliver power under 93db. I believe the application for the EG hatchback is $690 and comes with a high flow cat, but the tip is rather cannon like

#64343 What about an OBX Twin Loop system such as this? Are these units generally very loud?

#64348 with that twinloop no they shouldnt be too loud..its more quieter than having a big bore muffler with a silencer..but some twinloops dont work too well with some cats..but 98% sure it will be very quiet..thats a real good mufler..silent but itdoesnt constrict the fumes

SR*S makes one that I found, It's around 250, which isn't bad, and it has a real nice deep tone to it too. I'm purchasing mine in a few weeks.

I hadn't heard of it either, but I met someone with one on their civic, and it sounds really good. They make a catback that I found a lot of people put on their integra's.

[url]Here's the only link I could find, it's an ebay auction. but if you go into their store, you can find a video of one on a STI I believe

#64477 *drooling*.... Apexi though eh?... to bad i dont have the money to buy like 3 of them and try them at haha....
By b18govroom
#64483 well, if I were you, I'd go with the srs or megan racing. Megan racing is a lot better known of a brand than srs, so you might feel safer going th route, but both are very good, inexpensive brands. Apexi, yeah drool. best exhaust I've ever hard, but expensive.
