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

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
