If there is one suggestion I'd make...

DO NOT BUY A CANISTER STYLE MUFFLER...

they all sound raspy and gay imo...

nothing worse than a civic that sounds like a hive of angry bee's are following it.

I am all about Magnaflow. I had one on my '97 civic before I sold the car and now have one on my '03 si. They are built with stainless steel, mandrel bends, sound aweseme imo, and cost alot less than other exhaust systems. I got mine for $322 shipped from hottexhaust.com . Here is a sound clip of one on a rsx if you are interested. http://www.magnaflow.com/04sound/import.htm By the way this exhaust is more on the quiet side, especially for the 96-00 civics, so you may or may not like it.

I have a tanabe racing medallion exhaust on my 99 ex. its nice, very deep sound and provides good horsepower, only downside is without the baffle it is really loud! its not the annoying loud but its a really deep raaahhhhh sound..

all i have to say is when i go through the tunnels around here it sounds like a lemans car..

quote from website:

"Since 1982, Tanabe's 20year history of product development has been with one thing in mind, The "Spirit of Racing". As a supplier of N1, Formula Nippon, JTCC, JGTC and other racing series, our craftsmanship and technology is highly respected. The entire line of TanabeÕs suspension and exhaust systems are developed using track data"
