Search around, there's a million exhaust threads around here with all kinds of opinions and experiences. The real question is do you want a full cat back or are you going to just get a muffler? Or build your own exhaust? That will give us the best idea of what to suggest.

ok if you have a 2.x your car is going to sound like a fart can, personally i kept stock exhaust and put on a resonater with my 2.3, and that sounds ok.. 3.0 is the only engine in my opinion that could have an exhaust.
but to each there own.

Most guys on here go with Magnaflow because they have a nice deep tone without the raspy sound of a fart can

Exhaust
Cat Back exhaust systems are from a 94-97 Accord 2 Door.
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.

Ive got a big ol fart can on my 2.2 and it suuuuper deep. when i had the header and test pipe on it the exhaust note at idle made me wet. its nice and smooth and deep and mean sounding. and from like idle to 3500 it was smooth and then when it gets up to like 4-6500 the exhaust and the intake screaming is heavenly. and it never sounds raspy or buzzy. just sayin. plus i think it looks mean as f**k with the four inch tip when youre behind it

This is a 4" tip, is this considered rice? I happen to love the way it looks.

Damn, that WS2 looks a lot bigger than I thought. Hopefully it's as quiet as they say. I just ordered one a couple days ago.

well mine is the one turbo cars usually use, 80mm inlet with 105mm outlet.The normal one is 60mm inlet and the canister looks a bit smaller. Its quiet when you're cruising but quite vocal when you're on it. I hardly hear it when i'm not on the gas.

I'm running a magnaflow muffler without a resonator and it's downright obnoxious on the highway. Nice deep sound, but loud as hell. I'd like to get something quieter, but don't have the $$ right now.
