Default What kind of muffler would make my 2005 civic lx sound better than a stock muffler?

I need a fair priced muffler just to make it sound better than my but i don't know what kind to get.

An exhaust system and headers combo. Look into Greddy and Buddy Club parts. You can check the soundclips on youtube if you just search in the model of your car and the words "exhaust sound clip".

First off, is it an Automatic or Manual, becasue you get two distinct sounds from each. Manual sounds much beetter with aftermarket exhaust than an automatic, you can regulate which gear you want vise the computer. Second, check with you locla coppers and make sure it is legal because if it is too load they will keep pulling you over until you pay for that muffler in tickets and then some. Last, dont buy anything of Ebay that looks like a coffee cann with holes that costs $20. Go with the brand names like Greddy, Borla, HKS. For a honda look for Mugen catbacks (they work directly with honda in Japan). Also, Comptech should be back in business again, look for a system for your civic there too. For a moderate sounding exhaust with the same power look at Tanabe.com. you should pickup a issue of Hondatuning magazine to get the latest too.

good question but you need to answer these questions first,1.auto or manual2.boost or no boost3.a new header makes a difference in sound alsoif you are running all motor then i think a 2.5 inch header and exhaust will be the limit, unless you plan or are already have turbo then maybe 3 inch.dont go over 2.5 if you are n/a because it just sounds like SHIT!
