- Tue Aug 19, 2008 6:52 am #66661 I rock the Apexi WS2 on my hatch and love it....I would recommend it to anyone looking to retain the flow of an aftermarket catback without the loud crazy noise which can come from one...

- Wed Aug 20, 2008 3:40 pm #66801 I think you're the first person I've heard of that wants the same things in an exhaust that I do.

1) Free Flowing
2) Relatively Quiet
3) Reasonably Sized Tip
4) Affordable
5) Doesn't sound like a fart can
6) Good Quality

No such thing exists on the market because there is no market for it. The only way I've found to satisfy all these requirements is to piece together the components and have them welded together.

My current exhaust is too loud and doesn't fit well so I plan to replace it with the following: Two 18inch long Magnaflow resonators part no. 10425. Retain my Magnaflow muffler. I have to measure it again but I believe that the longest that would fit was about 20 inches long. Then I did some further measurements and made a list of mandrel bends that I need to order. No exhaust tip. The entire exhaust is 2.25 inches ID. If it was a turbo application I'd go with 2.5 inches ID. Take all of this down to the exhaust shop and have it put together.

Magnaflow uses a straight through design and has a deep, rich tone; very un-Honda like.

Thats exactly what I want in an exhaust as well. Like you I just cant find it. So one car is getting the WS2 and the other is getting a custom set up like what you listed.

- Wed Aug 20, 2008 11:38 pm #66857 I have a magnaflow muffler also.... not to ricey or anoying... I wish their cat back exhaust was the same... but it sounds RICEY... *tear*

- Tue Sep 23, 2008 11:04 pm #71197 I agree completely with suspendedhatch. I have the Mugen Twin Loop on my car with full custom 2.5 inch piping. At idle you cant even hear the car and even when i get on it, it is very quiet and could easily pass as a car without a performance exhaust. I got 2.5 inch piping with a hallowed out cat and a 24 inch magnaflow resonator in the middle. There is no rasp at all but like previously stated the Mugen twin loop is not cheap. On inlinefour they go for $820 just for the rear section

- Tue Nov 24, 2009 4:05 am #158093 if your looking for stock sounding with the performance then the apexi ws2 is the way to go i have one on my car and it sounds completely stock

- Tue Nov 24, 2009 9:44 pm #158225 What is wrong with Stock one? I rocking it and no problem on my end with wondering eyes.

And to top it off, it sounds like stock

- Fri Dec 04, 2009 1:13 am #159892 You could make your own... Buy some piping and weld up your own, well, only if you can and have a place to weld. That would be fairly cheap route. If not buy the Apex'i WS2, it sounds AMAZING!
