just bought a used 97 accord coupe... whoever had it before put an intake and a catback exhaust system in the car. Love the car but the exhaust is too loud for me. Should i just replace the muffler with a factory one? or what are my other options?

 

Well if the very end of the muffler is round, find out the diameter and buy a sliencer for it. They have alot of ebay and are cheap. It will take away a little bit of the hp you gained from the exhaust but most of the silencers are adjustable for how low you want it and such.

Something like this
