Greddy Evo if you want a really nice exhaust with a nice sound, and great look at a low price...
Thermal R&D if you want stock looks, and a more subtle sound.

Sup everyone,
Depends how much money you want to spend. If you have the $ get a MUGEN, nothing can beat that. Looks great, sounds great and preformance is great. Other then that.... RS*R, Greddy, Apexi... pick one...

You have to decide what you want out of the exhaust...
Louder is usually more straight thru design... straight thru = more high end power.... (ie Apexi N1... Racing Medallion)
Quieter usually mean less power (Mugen is the exception, but it costs you)... (ie Apexi WS, RS*R...)
Theraml is the only Full Stainless Steel... has more of a stock look..
The Apexi Dunk is moderately priced, isn't too loud... can't say I have seen a dyno on the gains though...
As far as the Prelude goes, you aren't going to get a bunch of power out of the exhaust. The determining factor come down to the "look" and "sound" that you like... maybe you could try to meet up with some other from the board and listen to their exhausts.....
Decide if you are going N/A or FI... for F/I you are going to want a 2.5" -3" piping.... if you are staying N/A then you want to stay with 2.25" (this is the norm)....

Being VERY optimistic you can expect gains of about 1-3. I have never seen any proof but supposedly the MUGEN should generate a couple more HP.

mmmmuuugggeeennn! But it does depend on which modification route (NA or FI) you are going to take. Greddy Evo is good (not best) for both
