aftermarket exhausts for a 91 SE?
I do need a new muffler for this car, but don't want to settle for a plain jane Midas one. I was thinking about an Apexi N1 that is a universal fit $165, or a Greddy SP cat back which is like $500. Is there any other exhausts out for the 89-94 SEs? Any input would be appreciated.

Hey artic. What year/model u got?
I'm running a 92 SE VE auto with no muffler (and no mods) with just a 2.5" muffler shop special pipe and it's quiet enough for me

I bought a 91 SE 5spd. I have a Greddy EVO cat-back on my RSX, sounds truly sweet, not buzzy. I was wondering if anyone has heard an Apexi on the maxima V6s before? My name means Arctic Blue Pearl RSX Type-S ~ Arctic DC5(chassis code for RSX). This is going to be my daily driver. I have a lot of mods in the RSX

those are nice cars. there's a guy in know back indiana with one and it's sweet. non type s though. his awesome car, however, is a mitsubishi mirage converted to an Evo 6.5! R1 blue... it kicks so much ***!!! should be done really soon.
internetautomar, how much for the 14835
magnaflow muffler? It's the 5"x8" oval body race series with 3 inch diameter inlet and 4 inch tip.

yeah, when i had stock exhaust it sounded awesome. but now that i have straight exhaust all of the way back it's pretty loud. it sounds like he doesn't want to do anything too major so a magnaflow on his stock exhaust system will sound pretty sweet. man, you are bitter. what did I ever do to you that makes you always bust my chops?

lol, yeah... i guess you do.
and you are right. I should have been a bit more clear in my first post saying that it sounds good with stock exhaust.
now that i think of it, the exhaust wasn't fully stock. they pretty much did a catback with no resonator. so i had stock y-pipe to cat, then custom 2.25 back to the muffler. my friends said it sounded like a V8 when i would stomp on it. this was when they were outside of the car. inside it's not that loud at all and there is hardly any droning. i really liked it. now, with 2.5 inch piping it is really loud. there is nothing in the way though. i just have the vg30et manifolds but where the turbo bolts on to stock is welded up. then i have a custom crossover pipe to the turbo then 2.5 all of the way back to the muffler. very loud. hopefully 3 inch piping will quiet it down.

I did take measurements of the existing muffler thats on there now. the body is 15" and the tips come out about 9". So I think this muffler should fit fine on there. The muffler shop might have to extend the factory piping though.

Well, I finally have pics taken of the Magnaflow muffler. It has a deep sound to it, no ricey, buzzy sound. After 3k rpms, all you hear is the engine, so thats a good thing. Here are some pics:

close up:
side view, doesn't stick out too far:
two brothers, ones adopted though
and they are 11 years apart.
