Default Exhaust Advice?

OK, so heres the deal. I put on a cheap SRI on my 96 Accord EX. I had to take off the resonator, so that will factor in to what exhaust i should get.

now the question....

does anyone have any suggestions on what make/model catback exhaust system i should get? im going to get a cheap header and a cheap high flow cat to go along with the system, so it will end up being a header back exhaust system.

so far im looking at a borla, greddy or magnaflow.

the magnaflow is a dual exhaust and im liking that right now, because the greddy and borla have the fart can N1 tip.

so any help is appreciated!!!

thanks in advance

I've loved what I have heard so far. What's the hp gain like on a 2008 a/t v6?

ummm, if you have an intake it will be more. but magnaflow reported 7 or so. but for me its more like 12 with the intake cuz K&N is prettyu good about their gains figures. basically an exhaust adds to the effectiveness of an iontake..so increase wat u get just with that by about 20%.

So if I get 12hp with my CAI, it would be more like 15hp plus another 7hp for the exhaust? How do the two sound together? Would a CAI and exhaust sound too much?

the horsepower is more like..12+ 20% of 12...so

12 + (.2 X 12)= around 15+/- if you are lucky. I actually have a louder SRI and its awesome..so its up to u
