Now I have very little knowledge about exhaust systems. I am looking for a quiet exhaust system that performs almost like performance exhaust systems. Also, what is a “Cat-Back Exhaust System?” Is it just the rear muffler/silencer with rear pipe? Or is it a middle muffler/silencer + pipe, and a rear muffler/silencer + rear pipe? I have a 92 Honda Accord DX sedan My problem: Everything past the catalytic converter is rusty. My rear muffler/silencer already fell off. The middle muffler/silencer pipe is almost about to fall off. Budget:$ 400 Where do you guys shop on the internet for these products besides ebay?

 

Tip: Search. There was a quiet exhaust thread a while back. You're probably going to get either GReddy SP2/EVO or Apexi WS2 for an answer.

Cat-back: The answer is in the name: it's an exhaust from the catalytic converter on back. Other types are axle-back and just a regular old universal muffler.

A $400 budget isn't much for an exhaust system, but you could have an exhaust shop bend up a custom 2.5" system for you...

 

how is the WS2 with speed bumps? Are the pipes rust resistant?

 

The exhaust has nothing to do with speed bumps .... if you're riding slammed, you're going to have problems with them. I had a WS2 for over 3 years and it outlasted the tranny.

 

No, material used is a mild steel, not stainless like Greddy. mild steel will rust, how soon depends on the climate.

 

^^ I'm pretty sure that it's also ceramic coated, which reduces the tendancy to rust.

 

For me not being a car person I don't know nearly what I should about cars. Whenever I have a problem or question I have to ask someone. When it comes to the exhaust and the exhaust system I don't really know anything about it but I learn quickly especially if I see it visually. Thanks for the the help. If you want help figuring out the difference between an axle-back, cat-back exhaust systems check out the following exhaust guide (URL deleted) because it really helped me figure what the heck the difference was.
