Help me choose an exhaust!!

I have a 95 Civic EX Coupe and I'm looking to buy one of the following exhausts. They are all around the $450-500 price range.

Tanabe Hyper Medalion
5 Zigen Fireball
Greddy EVO
Greddy SP
HKS Super Drager

Anybody have past experiences with these? I need help deciding on one of them.

Thanks!

Do you know how big the tips are on those exhausts? Are they angled any?

Thanks!

A drop over 5 inches for the SP.

3.9 or 4.5 inches, both are available for the HM.

Thanks for the info. I don't want anything ricey that's like a 6 inch tip or anything. Have you heard either of the exhausts? Which one is better for the money given horsepower and sound?

Tanabe $479




Greddy $472




About the same price.

Thanks again!

I installed my friends tanabe exhaust on his 2nd gen integra. Before we put on the exhaust, we started the car with just the catalytic converter on to see what is sounded like. Then we put on the exhaust, and they sounded exactly the same. That exhaust is so damn loud. I have to cover my ears when he goes by!

I like the sound of the Greddy exhaust. Not too loud, not too soft. It's just right.

If you want to go stealth, then go with a DC Sports. That's what I have. That thing is so quiet. You can't hear my exhaust until I start to produce boost and it's still hard to hear.

good luck,

aj

Is your car lowered? If plan on lowering it or if it is lowered, get the Greddy EVO. It gives a bit more clearance.

Greddy SP or Greddy EVO

You'll like either. I loved my Greddy SP(had it on my 98 EX). Gorgeous exhaust tone..

I plan on lowering my car 1.5" next week. Are the Greddy exhausts angled any (like the Apexi N1)? What are the differences between the Evo and the SP?

Thanks!

The Greddy exhausts have a slight angle to them. Nothing to harsh. The main difference between the SP & EVO is that the EVO has a more canister like design which allows it to hang up in the body more giving you more clearance. The SP has the same basic shape as a stock muffler except not as big(and its chrome).

ok, All factors considered.

I'd chose the SP..


HP, is not a real concern.

Sound wise, it'S what I like. Quiet, but when you step on it, it'll let out a deep rumble.

I have a Tanabe RM and my friend has a GReedy.. in comparison mine sounds WAY louder than his, they have the same low tone but mine is just way loud, if you want it silent when your cruising then get the GReedy and if you want it annoying almost get the RM..
