I was thinking about getting the Greddy Cat-Back EVO exhaust, I hear it's good and everything and everyones happy with it, heard a clip of it online and it was nice.

Now I heard a few others and the Veilside Teardrop Titanium exhaust sounded really nice in a sound clip, I was wondering if you think I should get the Greddy or Veilside, OR do you have a better suggestion?

I'm looking for something with a deep tone and thats loud, you know something that'll turn heads

A few people said Greddy is great but it might not turn heads

Any ideas?

Save yourself some cash, buy the muffler and exhaust tip and resonator you wanna use and have a good shop do some custom welding of the exhaust

i disagree.
get a thermal
it may cost a little more, but it will fit and sound better

My apex n1 is pretty deep, and don't go for the muffler shop special, it just doesn't sound the same. Thermal makes good exhausts, as does comptech.

You can do greddy, but I guaruntee you HKS Sport will sound better. Go to www.carreview.com, they review all import exhaust systems.

I have the greddy evo and my boy has the N1 and they sound sooooo similar! I love my EVO and also love the sound the N1 puts out also! As for turnin heads! Trust me both of these are deep, low, gutteral sounding exhausts! And when you get revvin high and at WOT they are loud as hell! But without that raspy rice sound! Very nice exhausts!

I got a "muffler shop special" because every one of the aftermarket exhausts was too loud for me. Intake noise is enough IMO. I am thinking about changing the exhaust to quiet my car down a little.

Thanks for all the opinions, I"m gonna check out all the ones y'all mentioned that I"m not familiar with.

Also I have an automatic , will it sound that muchdifferent than a manual to where I might wanna change my mind and go with something else?

The Apex WS exhaust is not loud at all, barely over stock, but sounds deep.

I say why get an exhaust that needs a silencer to make it legal? It just restricts the exhaust! You can get 50 state legal exhausts without the silencer. Less restrictive! If you run without the silencer than it is soo loud that you just bring unwanted attention to yourself!

yes, the n1 is too loud. i was kicked out of an auto-x event for "disturbing" the peace. anyone who doesn't like imports will despise this exhaust...as i had neighbors calling my house asking me to slow down etc...because people also liken noise to speed.

but as jason said, the world sport is excellent. i paid like 400 for it for the complete catback and it sounds stock at idle and just gets deeper as the rpm's increase. the best thing, is when you're cruising along on the highway you don't have any extra attention placed on your car, which for me is what i was looking for because i've had 9 speeding tickets etc.

believe me, unless you can really tolerate a noisy exhaust even at idle, i'd go with the world sport. it sounds excellent and won't attract any extra attention.

If the WS is a quiet as you say I would love to get one, except that like every other exhaust manufacturer they don't make one for the 93 Integra. This car is the bastard of the Acura line up.
