well for starters do what you like and never listen to anyone else its your money spend it how you please...just be ready to be made fun of if it looks and sonds like shit. if you are planning to do all the work on a custom exhaust why not just wait and save for a greddy or a tanabe or even a hks. personaly i like 5 zigen and thermal research and development exhaust systems. i have back half section of a greddy evo for sale if you are interested and if so send me a pm it is for a civic ex. but my whole point is why spend money on something you will probably change outu later why not wait for the real thing have a nice day.
