Finally, I can afford an exhaust...help me decide

I have about $700 for an exhaust. I want a deep sound from something like a Tanabe Ultra Medallion or Greddy Ti. Something still in the legal limit. I don't care if it is a turbo-back or not, but decent gains if it is a cat-back. What are your suggestions? So far I'm looking at the Tanabe Ultra Medallion.

no such as decent gains from a catback....and greddy Ti is almost as loud as a cutout so thats like 120 decibels give or take lol....ehh megan is 500ish...but seems like bushur has the hotness at the moment.....rnr has a deal going on as well...pretty much to be hones with you..they are all the same shiit...just find something that is a real 3" (if ur not sure call the company selling it and ask...) and find something that looks nice...i havent read any1 who says there exhaust is comparable to a civic....


cheers!

From everything I have read, it seems as though Buschur Racing is the exhaust to have. They say it's only a few pounds heavier than the "TI" and at about half the price. If you want used, check the classified section of the forum.

Because he's after the bling and noise. If he cared about actually making power or saving weight he wouldnt have stated that he didnt care if it's a turbo back or not.

+1 for the TXS TBE.

You can get a Megan for that money , but brotha, you ain't gonna get a Greddy . Just depends on what you want. Either save more and get a big name or save a little more and get a quality piece that is known in the community more with equal gains.Its really up to you .
