Do any of these sound ricey? Like the kind you'd put on a 2002 Honda civic??? Definitely not interested in that!

Of all the clips I've heard, none of them exhibit that type of sound.

The HKS HiPower sounded a little ricey to me. It wasn't awful, but it was definitely a little moreso than most of the others I've heard.

In my opinion:

- Best sounding: Ark GRiP, Supersprint
- Best sounding & power: Perrin non-resonated

Resonated, I want to keep it fairly quiet after I get the high flow cat and overpipe eventually.

My favorites are Nameless, then Perrin. Both local companies to me here in Oregon, and great people at both places. I am running a Nameless myself.
But take the advice about it is your choice to heart. If looks are most important to you, use that as your biggest factor. HP/TQ improvements of just an axle back will be so similar it is not worth much consideration. If sound is the most important to you, go to meets, or ask to meet up with people in your area to hear them in person. Take your time to decide so you can be happy with what you get!

Do exhaust systems have to be installed professionally? I'm new to this stuff

ABQautoxer · 11-21-2012, 11:54 AM

No. They are relatively speaking one of the easiest things to install. The hardest part is getting the stock muffler off those annoying rubber hanger. This car for some reason is more difficult than most in this regard.

I am going to say yes.

I mean .. if you have a big jack, stands, tools and are good with your hands it's EASY

But, if you've never worked on a car before .. it might take you forever.

It's pretty simply if you have a friend to lend a hand.
