I like the sound of magnaflow.. but my friend brought his cavalier Z24 up... and all it had was a 5Zigen 304-T exhaust... i believe thats the model... and it sounded sweet... and if that muffler can do that to a cavalier... I just try imagining what it'd do to the ralliart....

I hate 5Zigen way too high pitched.

I've always had magnaflow. HKS is good too but can get raspy.

if any of those brands made a catback for our cars then I would vote, however if ALL of them had a catback for us, Greddy would be my choice. I had a HKS on my old civic and a greddy on my eclipse, The Greddy blew the HKS outta the water in regards to sound. But that could have also been due to it being an ECLIPSE instead of a CIVIC.

I have an A'pexi N-1 on my Eclipse. It has really good fit and finish, and a nice deep sound. I wouldn't get too caught up with how a particular brand sounds on another car, because to me a Civic sounds like a Civic no matter what kind it has - but I guess there can be some minor variations. I could tell a turbo DSM from an N/T pretty easily too. A'pexi has excellent craftsmanship, classic looks and the mandrel they use is supposedly the biggest available - so for turbo applications you can get real 3" sizes, or more depending on the car. There is some controversy in the DSM world about which of the high priced Japanese exhausts actually provide what people need - that some are too small and not a 3" system. The A'pexi is a favorite despite its high price, but especially over Greedy and HK$.
