HKS Hi-Power! My favorite Exhaust!
I have a skunk2 exhaust i used for 6k miles for sale 450
All those fart can exhausts are far too loud, attracts the man like a kid to candy. A loop exhaust is the only way to go.

I don't know about 'bang for your buck' but I absolutely LOVE my Greddy SE, nice and quiet, even with a race header. And its pretty easy on the eyes too!
AkA EX FULL-RACE EP3
That is one sexxxy lookin exhaust man. Like that titanium look with the VBP too.
Most bang for your buck exhaust, Megan Racing 2 1/4" midpipe. The midpipe (factory, 1 7/8") is a long thin straw. A loooooooonng time ago Hondata did some dyno testing and concluded the factory muffler isn't a restrictive factor till nearing 300..
Yes the factory backbox is heavier than an aftermarket one but you get hassled for being in a Honda, why add noise also. Besides dual chrome tips are hard to beat..As for sound, it's hard to beat IMO...
more than I thought I'd write.
supersprint FTW..
Spoon n1 axle back, and you have the option of adding a t1r mid pipe or megan mid pipe to sound meaner.
Go down to your local muffler shop and have them make you a custom set up. Heres is what i have on my EP3 and recommend to you:
From the cat back:
Mandrel bent 2.5 inch SS midpipe > Magnaflow resonator> 3 inch Magnaflow tip for OEM appearance.
*Basically a "straight pipe" from the catalytic converter.
My inspiration for doing this was after seeing/hearing the Buddy Club Spec II on my friends Integras/S2000s.
*Exhaust note is deep and throaty, low RPMS to mid and highs there is a nice "growl". Drone isnt bad at all, surprisingly its very minimal compared to other set ups ive had ie. Skunk2 catback aka N1 style. Also the car isnt loud unless i hit mid to high RPMs and floor it...if i drive the car conservatively its pretty quiet. So dont worry about the Popos popping you. Appearance wise this set up looks OEM because im running a small SS tip ie. Magnaflow. Stealth mode baby.
Good luck to you.
BTW i didnt go with the Buddy Club Spec II cause they dont have an application for the EP3. They have a Spec III but that one is not as loud since its a muffler.
*Also here is a youtube video of a Buddy Club Spec II on a RSX...its not an EP3 i know but your EP3 will sound like this since it has the same K series motor minus the peformance Vtak. This is how my EP3 sounds. Okay enough chit chat, heres the vid:

I love my megan racing drift spec. Its a full 2.5' stainless cafback exhaust. It sounds real nice too. Its only 315 dollars shipped. Only complaint i have is it is realllllly low. Im not dropped much and its about 2 inches off the ground. I jus gotta get some hangers welded up.
I have a Apexi N1 catback for sale for 400 shipped. Has the heat coating all the way to the muffler for keeping the exhaust flow hot for faster exit.
