exaust
as most of you know im running a b16a (stock) setup, in a 91 civic dx, as far as exaust i dont want it to be loud, but i dont want to loose any performance, right now as it sits i am running header and lower manifold up till the cat conv, where it is chopped off, as far as a new converter im not wanting to hollow it out because it will sound like crap, where can i get a rather new cat. converter for this motor?
i didnt use the stock dx one because i have tried and tried to get some rusted bolts off but its impossible to do, so i have to go get another one

On my B16 that is in my 90 hatch, I have a 4-1 DC header with a, I think it is Landspeed.com "race" cat, with 2 1/4 pipping all the way to a "stock" muffler pack.
I lost some power by adding the "stock" muffler welded in the back, but I'd rather be quiet and not attract attention of cops. When I go to the track, I just take my axel-back portion of my exauhst off, and run off of an open exauhst pipe.

Have you tried running with the exhaust both on, and off?
Just curious.
Back to the topic at hand. A hollow cat will not sound like shit. Any exhaust you get is going to be pretty loud. There's just no avoiding it really. go with 2.25 mandrel pipping, or 2.5 crushed pipe.

What size would be better for 00' Si 2.25 or the 2.5?

i have a dc 4-1 header to 2.25" piping back to a stock muffler. i have no cat. you cant really hear anything till about 3k when the stock muffler gives a shitty rattling sound (i think i need to replace the muffler bearings 
) then above that its not really that loud, just a mean growl from the cold air intake.
if youre going to get a new muffler i suggest an es oval muffler. i have seen a couple cars with these mufflers on them and they are a very nice muffler, ask anyone who owns one. i know neil (getrdun) on the boards has one and im sure he feels the same way i do about the muffler.
