Good quality cat back exhausts?

By biretsu89
- Sat Dec 20, 2008 1:31 pm #84658 When I did my d16z6 swap in my civic vx... i got a cheapo ebay cat back to replace my exhaust since i had to relocate where my catalytic converter goes..... (i didnt have much money left due to swap)
The ebay cat back n1 crapness exhaust is just horrible quality fitting.... when I start my car or just driving sometimes... the exhaust vibrates on the actual civics frame! ... from the inside the civic sounds like its going to blow up .. but its just the exhaust not fitting correctly....

I just want some opinions or experiences of other cat back exhaust out there..... I dont want to worry about my exhaust hitting my car O.o... I would prefer something not so pricey... but a decent exhaust is going to cost a decent penny right?

They have bolt up kits, all you need is what ever muffler you want to run.

- Sun Dec 21, 2008 1:34 am #84755 Hmmm... I always considered skunk2 or magnaflow catback....

I never thought about trying to bend the exhaust hangers either.... I might try that one for now... The only reason why I dont think it will work is due to the quality of the metal..... I think it will break more than bend... we will see though :thumb:

Pacesetter exhaust? how does that sound... I always wondered... all the youtube videos i try to find are crappy sound quality haha

Thanks everyone :thumb:

Custom quality exhaust with a good warranty. Just ask what grade of stainless steel the exhaust fitter will use to make your exhaust. Usually cost a fair bit, but the good thing is that with a warranty, any problems you go back to the fitter with your receipt and they fix it for free :)

If you manage to save up, just consider what you want from the exhaust, as far as quality, durability, and decibels are concerned, different manufactures will have different mufflers with different exhaust tones, make sure you get it right the first time, or as near as, so you don't have to use any more of your hard earned cash than you need to.
