I may be buying a 99 Accord with a vtec in the near future. If not I will for sure be getting a 4cyl accord.
I need it for a commuter car so I need the best mileage possible.

I have been looking into exhaust systems and intakes.
I prefer a quiet exhaust that still has the performance gain without the "ricer" sound.
What systems and muffelers out there can give me this?
I would also like a inexpensive header that still offers good performance.

Also what changes in gas mileage can i expect with a full exhaust system and cold air intake?

I look forward to you input, and thanks in advance!

This is also my first post so I hope to see more of everyone on these forums!

 

OBX header with an APEXi WS2 exhuast should accomplish what you need, the exhaust is pretty quiet but it will roar (non-ricer style) when you really hit the throttle, the catback (apexi) is kinda spendy, the obx is reasonable

 

Exactly what I was going to recommend.

Plus I have the system and like it! Except the WS2 is to quiet for me.

 

The Greddy SP2 gives you more performance (the most per the style of muffler actually) and is very quiet. oh and everything is full stainless steel, great for winter regions. apexi is mild steel and will rust sooner than later.

 

Well I got a free 3a racing muffler from down at my shop, so i guess the whole quiet exhaust gets thrown out the window, but hey free is free!

What changes in gas mileage should I watch for?

 

The 3A's are pretty noisy, i used to sell them but quit because customers were complaing about the loudness..

But how much is a cheap CAT and EXHAUST together that you guys would recommemd? Im low on budget and i just need more horsey

 

you can get a hi flow cat off ebay for $40 to $50 dollars, keep in touch with all your local exhaust shops for a used muffler, they get them quiet a bit and you can usually get one for really cheap. if you are looking to increase the pipe diameter, start makin good friends with them! shouldnt be too much anyways.

hope this helps!
