Suggested Catback exhausts? - Honda Prelude Forum

yais · 03-30-2009, 06:42 PM

i'm getting my ehaust replaced... cause the one i have has a hole in both the resonator and the exhaust pipe.... what the hell right?

so i've got around 600 dollars to throw down... i don't really want to spend that much if it's not necessary (i'm not trying to make it a race car)

i just need something that somewhat modest in tone (not anything that will attract the law), and helps boost hp a bit.

Read this thread..
How much would i gain from a EXHAUST. NO OFF TOPIC STUFF PLEASE

I vote Custom.

And what about your $3,600 in maintenance? :P

bdmski · 03-30-2009, 08:28 PM

lol

I'm going with a Buddy Club catback when I get enough cash.

yais · 03-30-2009, 09:34 PM

all i'm doing right now is timing belt, and exhaust.. leaks aren't anything i'm going to be able to afford atm.

okay so i checked that thread...
i'm not about to pay 2k for a custom exhaust lol. i don't care about HP that much tbh.
i just don't want another stock exhaust cause imo they look ugly.

i'm honestly thinking ebay, then slapping myself for it.. just cause i don't want to end up with a ridiculously loud exhaust

MLBZ521 · 03-30-2009, 10:00 PM

lol, eBay Exhaust... You get what you pay for... Good luck on quality... And it lasting..
I have an Exhaust Kit I'm selling. PM me for info.

RSR end of thread...

OSOFAST10 · 03-31-2009, 01:05 PM

^^ i'm with him... or apex

yais · 03-31-2009, 01:56 PM

cool, well i think RSR Ex-Mag is going to be my end decision...

supposedly one of the quietest performance exhausts- exactly what i need

incredipaul · 03-31-2009, 02:03 PM

You won't be disappointed with the RSR exmag. Quieter than stock while cruising, then stomp on it and people will think an aston martin is coming.

Uhmm not quite.

zsudz922 · 03-31-2009, 08:43 PM

do they have an RSR Ex-Mag cat-back for an H23? will the H22 one bolt right up to the H23 manifold/downpipe?

rayslude · 03-31-2009, 10:38 PM

greddy evo2 here, of course i did just spend ~2k on exhaust for the maxima...

GA_BB1LUDER · 04-01-2009, 10:20 AM

I like my Skunk2 Mega Power. It sounds awsome, but i also have a magnaflow high flow cat and a dc header. It sounds very deep and growly.

Jerryscherry · 04-02-2009, 12:06 AM

okay you tell me which one sounds better
YouTube - Honda prelude WS2 exhaust Apexi WS2
or
YouTube - Honda Prelude Greddy Evo 2 Catback GREDDY EVO2

my opinion the apexi ws2 sounds better and isnt as loud or high pitched

and magnaflows do sound nice (: heard one on a stock civic very low and mean!

MLBZ521 · 04-02-2009, 02:25 AM

What's other peoples' opinions matter for?

Get what you like. If off-the-shelf is what you want, get what you like.

I don't think Magnaflow makes an exhaust though do they? Just mufflers that you need piping for?

Jerryscherry · 04-03-2009, 03:59 AM

just save ure money and buy a house (:

XJamZ650 · 05-06-2009, 11:27 AM

i also need help in finding the perfect exhaust catback for my 98 prelude.. i have considered greddy evo2 apexi ws2. im just looking for something that is quiet any suggestions or preferences? on a white 98 prelude black rims and tinted windows, if look helps at all..

the only addition to my stock car is aem v2 exhaust, also thinkin about getting some headers.

Jerryscherry · 05-06-2009, 11:40 PM

i say go with the apexi ws2.. looks stock.. not like a bazzoka. sounds deep... thats the one i plan to get on my 4th gen lude.. heard ppl actually getting decent gains from it? (not sure look into it)

and it isnt loud so hopefully cops wont bother you

boymeetsfence · 05-07-2009, 12:05 AM

Greddy spectrum elite

lude_racer22 · 05-07-2009, 12:34 AM

ive got a 2001 lude with the loudest catback ive ever heard. its a tanabe. its nice and low tone but when it crackes v, it screams.

Sonik_Fury · 05-07-2009, 01:16 AM

Thermal R&D......of course I'm biased.

Blamo · 05-07-2009, 01:46 AM

For a catback, RS*R, WSP2, or Thermal are your best, quiet, choices.

For something possibly cheaper, and possibly making more power you could run custom pipe back to a Vibrant black muffler. I've heard they sound pretty awesome too.
