Aftermarket Exhaust Help
I have a '97 2.2 CL and I am looking for aftermarket exhaust. I need a new cat as well, I would prefer stainless steel. I am not looking for a loud car, just something more noticeable than stock. Any suggestions on web-sites? Bolt-on is prefered. I am looking for a direct replacement, I dont want dual exhaust.

A lot of people have been telling me to look at Ebay. I have and most of the exhaust's on there have 4' and 4.5' tips. I thought those tips were REALLY loud but im not sure..

i just picked up a magnaflow 14805 dual tip exhaust..as long as you keep your resonator on then it's not as loud as if you were to take it off..if you want more of a stock look, i think what your looking for is the magnaflow 14814 (someone correct me if i'm wrong) it's also a dual, but the tips aren't as big, and like Quentin said, eBay would be your best friend.

But isnt the Magnaflow 14814 just a muffler.
I thought he was looking for an exhaust.
Would just a muffler make the same difference in power?

I am looking for a full exhaust system. Reason being is because it is stock, 12 years old, 174K on it and I live where road salt is down from November to March. There is a hole the size of a quarter behind the resonator and the rest of the exhaust is looking rough. Instead of doing piece by piece, I was going to do the whole thing.

the CL shares it's exhaust with the 94-97 Accord coupe. Search for that. Anything aftermarket will usually be "performance" oriented. So you wanting a full exhuast half way between stock and performance sound wise is sort of unreliastic.
Get custom mandrel bent piping done into a muffler of your choice, for a bit more tone, people go with magnaflow.

you'll get better results searching with "94-97 accord".

Axel backs are also an option, 94-97 Accord.
Another option is to buy a separate muffler and have a shop do all new piping for you. I'd reccomend a resonator (18" or 22") to help cut back on that "ricey" tone, also make sure if having piping run that the exhaust shop can bend Mandrel bent tubing for better performance and less restriction.
