I dont mean to double post, but you can find images of my new muffler on this thread. It way over on page 5. I figured more people would see it, if it was in the photos section.

I know this is double post, but hey at least I used an existing thread instead starting a new one

thought I would share some pics of how the muffler looks on a stock sedan bumper.

word of caution though, if you value a nice quiet ride over a deep exhaust note, DO NOT get this muffler. It drones quite loudly at 70mph

otherwise it's a GREAT buy for sound and looks (and maybe some mental power gains )

this is the stock muffler:

Just so everyone that is considering buying the muffler knows, as you can see in this picture, the muffler fits PERFECTLY to the sedan's exhaust cutout on the stock rear bumper.

closer look at the exhaust tip:

and a full rear shot of the car with the muffler:

 

Wow, that looks great! How loud is it during normal driving? I don't want that normal Civic "fart" sound exiting out the back of my car.

 

read my reply on Edmunds Clint. Basically it doesn't sound like the Honda buzzing bee engine at all, it's a very nice low tuned sound.

 

Great! I'm considering getting it now, I just wasn't really wanting that rice sound at all. Don't want my car attracting attention from the wrong people...lol.

 

Thanks for the pics, that thing's beautiful . I have almost the identical car, so it's great to see what it would actually look like on mine.

Now all I need is some money .

 

that is nice.. im thinking of getting it too!!

 

I think I've made my decision between Racing Beat and Mazdaspeed. Mazdaspeed it is. Thanks for the help ZoomZoomH.
