My next mod is a AEM SRI. My goal is to get a good sound, I'm not too concerned about performace. I was looking at the Flowmaster 60 Series, but it's kind of expensive. I know it takes a lot of $$$ to get a good sound. I would like some opinions on whether or not it would be better to get a whole 60 series exhaust or just the muffler? Here's an example of the sound I want: 1999 Honda civic EX 60 series flowmaster muffler - YouTube

 

Has anyone used the eBay muffflers I've seen for $40-50? I'm pretty skeptical, but after a few trips to the local muffler shops a lot of the guys are pushing very similar appearing stuff. Just wondering how these no-name mufflers sound (a) and (b) how they last appearance and durability-wise on a daily driver?

I'd love to tack on a set of Borlas, Greddy, or Apexi if anyone has some for sale...

 

in the same boat as the OP

would love a nicer exhaust but i can't stand the typical ricer sound(good sounds out of a 4banger are hard to come by haha)

 

After doing more research I found the Megan N1 exhaust. It sounds a lot cleaner than the flowmaster and it's not too loud. Here's a video of one: 97 Accord Ex Drive By Exhaust Megan N1 - YouTube

 

that actually doesn't sound too bad

 

I know! And for a little over $300 for the full exhaust it's not too pricey.

 

$300 for 2 years.
Megan exhaust systems start falling apart even before you install it.
I am pretty sure soda cans have thicker metal than megan uses.

 

I have the Magnaflow stainless steel system with race headers on my 1990 Cb7. It sounds real decent. Does not sound like the trash can set ups out there.

i got this catback exhaust off of ebay for $100 or so, and i personally dont think its too ricy. its just got a really nice deep and throaty sound. it came with a silencer, but it sounds alot better without it.

 

I'm with Bugman, You cant beat the sounds and price of a Magnaflow CB
