Why do you want to put an exhuast on a stock Civic?

Probably because he doesnt want it to be stock anymore, its not rocket science.

lol actually Jon pretty much hit the nail on the head. i don't really understand what you are getting. are you asking why i'm putting parts on my civic period? i mean its a pretty simple answer. my car is so quiet i forget its even on, and of course the obvious factor that i want my car to increase performance wise. so honestly what are you implying?

i think he's implying that it's not worth it, which is debatable.

I guess the question was too simple...

Are you doing it for gas mileage? If so, you would have to drive quite a bit to break even on the cost of the $500 exhaust.


Are you doing it for sound? I guess that depends on what you think a good sound is. I wont go into what most people out of thier teenage years think about the way an exhuast sounds on a civic. But even if a civic exhaust did sound good, you will probably get tired of it on a DD car and with your car was quiter on the highway. Sound gets old on a DD.

Are you doing it for performance? Im not sure about all applications, but Horse power TV only got ~3 whp from a $400 exhaust.


I am in the market for a Honda because I want a car that is quiet on the highway and gets good gas mileage. I get tired of the sound of mine on long trips. The last thing I plan on doing it making the exhaust sound louder.

i got a mangaflow muffler on the back of mine its ok sounding but could be a little softer sounding but it not bad. but i still have the stock exhaust with just the muffler .. i've heard the one they make for my car and it sound realy low and deep but that on my car a mp5 but hondas tend to just sound buzzy to me anyway so it up to you
