I'm needing some help on choosing the right exhaust for my Type R. I obviously want a high-flowing piece, but sound and looks are important too. I wanna know what you guys are running on your cars. Or should I just go and have another custom exhaust done? Has anyone done that with satisfying results? Any info would be great. Thanks

Use what ever you can afford, the more you spend the better the results

Try SMSP if you want quiet and power.

Also take a look at this pics, just some small stuff I got: https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/s...d.php?t=133911

 

Hmmm.

I think you'd better tell us what the budget is, before we go too far.

I have SMSP from the header all the way back, but the header by itself is probably $1200 these days...and that's assuming you can wait for him to make it.

 

i have the spoon sports full exhaust system; 4-2-1 stainless header, oem jdm itr cat-converter, b-pipe, n1 silencer.

although i have a full jdm system, many others out there are running customized "usdm" systems that in some cases surpass the performance of many of the "jdm" systems.

my setup is not as expensive as the smsp system that bbasso and george describe. another high-end custom exhaust system manufacturer is hytech in irvine, ca.

yeah, like gk suggests, maybe post a budget you have. the sky's the limit with exhaust systems.

As far as a budget, I'd prefer not to spend more than about $600. I hate spending money on an exhaust that at most might produce 5 or 6 HP. It's hard to justify that that.

 

I really like the Thermal R&D cat back on my car. Really good sound...

 

Thermal is a good company, but their exhausts tend to be loud. The new Apex'i exhausts look pretty cool, as do some of the exhausts that flow back into themselves (Mugen knockoffs).

A semi-ghetto setup that I personally like a lot is the custom pipe/supertrapp. It's ghetto in that it looks funky and those on the street might scoff. On the track though, I haven't heard a better sounding exhaust (my buddy ran this setup on a GenII GS).

Personally, I'm running a JDM ITR manifold and a Type1 Racing cat, B-pipe, and muffler. It's loud and has good performance, sounds great at idle, throws CEL's all the time, and set me back less than a grand for the whole thing with shipping.
