Ractive mufflers sound good. Most of my friends have them on their cars, i would recommend one. They sound great, worth the money.

I'd go with a Tanabe Racing Medallion. Its a very deep exhaust sound, full stainless steel, etcetera, not like some Honda bee farm thing. Only cost me 140$.

ok once again...a muffler's a muffler. performance is same on most mufflers depending on what style. the price dependso n size, sound, look, namebrand, and quality.<P>if its sound that youre concerned about, the straight-thru mufflers give the deepest tone. if you get those that run like a maze inside the muffler, thatll give you the raspy sound. there are SOME raspy crx's with raspy-type mufflers that seem to sound REALLY nice because you can really hear those rpms climb.<P>later on down the road, youll regret getting a deep muffler and will soon be looking for a quieter muffler. im sticking with my muffler because itll sound nice with a turbo.

I don't know how people feel about this, but I have a AC Revolution exaust. It sounds really good, espically with manual. It has a 3.5 tip and it sounds way better then my friends that has a 4.5-5.0 tip. Is AC Revolution a good company? :D Image
