Well... I guess the real question is... Will That exhuast system make a difference in Performance.. and will it sound decent.. I just dont want that cheap ass Cherry Bomb sound that 99% of the civics in the world have...

I want something deep... Not like a 454 Deep though... haha Just deep enough so that if your near my car you can feel it like bass... I LOVE THAT!!! haha.. My buddy has an RSX with a Magnaflow Dual Exhaust..... I wish I could make my car sound like his... But anyways... Just looking for something that will sound decent/good and help my Performance a bit at the same time...

THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL THE HELP GUYS!

OK here's an exhaust setup for you, using all 2.5" piping:

Header > Magnaflow high flow cat > Straight thru resonator > Large oval straight thru muffler

It'll be the best flowing exhaust you can get and it'll sound deep, but not overly loud.

Have a custom setup made at your local muffler place. Put a Magnaflow straight through muffler after the cat, then piping to a Dynomax Super Turbo. It'll be a little more aggressive with a lot more flow but have absolutely no rasp, no rice. Here's what that sounds like, well, with boost: http://www.ion-productions.com/exhaust/exhaust1.wmv

sausage fingers lol

2.4 here....I got the dual muffler idea from ion...header-cat-muffler-muffler...sounds nice. still a bit loud, but pretty smooth, and kinda deep. no resonator. would probably sound even better when I get the setup welded. lol

my mufflers are a Magnaflow straight-though and a Borla ProXS Camaro-style muffler.

tip for in-store muffler purchase: one way to figure out whether a muffler will be smooth or raspy (before installing) is to look in it. the style of the muffling surface is the tell-tale. if it is piping with round holes punched in, it will be generally smoother. if it piping with flaps cut out (which also look restrictive to smooth flow) it would generally sound raspy.
