i assume you live in Canada if you have a '98 Si. If so, that means you drive a Civic with the D16Y8, no? TONS of mods for the motor. A little research and browsing through different boards will help. As for the exhaust, all Civics -- and four-banger Hondas -- will have the inherent farting/buzzing noise. it's just a matter of whether you want it to be deep or high. Many N1-style exhausts (Tanabe RM, A'PEXi N1, HKS Hiper, etc.) will usually be the loudest and most raspy. however, there's an exception which is the 5Zigen Fireball because it uses a very big resonator. therefore, it sounds pretty mellow and has a deep fart to it. I used to have an A'PEXi N1 cat-back, and it was EXTREMELY loud and sounded like a farting bumble bee riding a lawnmower. typical ricer exhaust. it was fairly deep, though. I now use an A'PEXi N1 B-pipe and custom mandrel-bent rear section piping with an OBX MV1015 muffler welded to it. i also removed the exhaust resonator from the b-pipe. it sounds similar to the N1 except it's a bit louder since the resonator was removed. i've only had the OBX for a day, though, so i'm assuming it'll get even louder as it "breaks in" ... a.k.a. the muffler packing wears away. ![]() so in essence, if you want the farting noise to be deep, find an exhaust you like and get a big fat exhaust resonator stuck on the piping (if it didn't already come with a big one). The resonator's basically a pre-muffler that helps cut down on noise and deepen the tone. A lot of people like the GReddy SP for exactly that reason. the resonator is practically as the big as the muffler itself. |

get a mugen twin loop and put a premuffler in the midpipe - it'll be so quiet you cant handle it. or just use an ITR/Si muffler.

allright thnx guys...i got another Q....im sure all of u have watched rally's at one point or another and tha fire comes out of tha exaust when u switch gears, now i know that its because its a straight pipe so the cycle hasnt actually finshed when it comes out but does this straight pipe increase any horse power? I kno it is illegal here in canada but still....lol ...and is the horsepower alot greater than most exausts out there? thnx alot

strait pipe is not legal in CA either. As far as i know yes it does increase the HP cause they can move more air through the pipe without the cat and muff. less resistance = more JUICE!!

cuz here in the US, we dont have a 98 Si. we only have the 99-00 Si which is the equivalent to canadas SiR.
