Normally I'd suggest listening for yourself...checking out various websites for sound clips of various exhausts...especially skeetfire or honda websites.

Magnaflow has many vehicles on their site and I'd also suggest taking a look there.

But its a Honda and thus ineherently far more difficult to stop from sounding like shit. I have looked myself; owning a pissant 1.6L but still wanting a bit more power and audible exhaust, I carefully checked my options, and rather than opting for the cheaper, possibly more powerful option of custom making it, I chose Magnaflow as it isnt annoyingly buzzy, loud, ricey, or abysmal.

After searching all sorts of different brands, companies and options, I chose Magnaflow myself.

Magnaflow seems to sell more towards turbo back exhaust and and domestic exhaust systems. Domestic wise, it seems to be more of a raspy and and deep sounds, similar to a buddy's turbo system he has on his Integra. IDK what it may sound like on a NA newer Civic, but check different websites like ^ said...

I have a Magnaflow.. I think they're one of the best sounding exhausts but mainly for higher displacement engines... smaller ones like yours I'm not too sure about... mine has a 2.4L turbo I5, so it sounds nice and deep...
