Exhaust Options
I have a 2000 SE 5spd and want to start modding. I do not want to add an aftermarket catback exhaust because I don't want my car sounding like everyone's Honda Civic with a buzz bomb fart can. So here is my question...
Would replacing the mid-pipe with a higher flowing one make the stock exhaust louder, or would it stay the same? Would this give me any more power, or is there no sense of adding an aftermarket mid-pipe since I don't plan on buying an aftermarket catback?

Buy a resonated b-pipe (midpipe) and leave the muffler alone. This will add a few (1-3) hp without increasing noise much. I suggest a flowmaster 50 series. I have it on my car (no bpipe yet though) and it sounds amazing.

Any definitive data on which is better: a y pipe or a b pipe
My impression from reading the forum was that a y pipe and an intake were the two best initial mods for creating power (rumors of 15-25 whp). I also got the idea that neither one changes the sound too much. Would a b + y pipe combo add anything significant in terms of power?

The biggest change in noise for me occurred when I put my WSP y-pipe on. At that time I had a modified stock intake. Then I put on a Berk Intake, a little louder, you could hear the whoosh of the intake a bit more, you know that tsssst you hear when you tap the gas. Then I put on the WSP B-pipe w/o resonator and I could begin to hear a rumble, low drone at highway cruising RPM, which for me is not in the least bit annoying, and at high RPM's the sound became very spirited. I am leaving it alone as is w/ stock muffler, it's plenty loud and muffler mod won't improve horsepower.

Is there any consensus (or heaven forbid, data) to show the power differences between lets say the Greddy Evo catback compared to a y+b pipe combo? Assuming both have a non-stock intake, of course...
