buy a muffler off ebay. Just type in 88 civic muffler and buy one with a wide tip. If you want to do it cheaper, just punch a hole in your original muffler.

Remove your Cat.converter and straight pipe it then get a resonator. It would be best to take it to a performance shop and get the exhaust done. If you dont get a resonator it will sound whiney and annoying and your car will sound like this ''RIIIICE .. RIIICCEE . . RICCCEE'' dont be a ricer get nice exhaust not a $20 muffler off ebay. The best idea is to either swap out your engine or buy a car that already has an sngine swap. The engine makes the performance sound you want, not the exhaust.

remove the exhaust and run only with the header. you may get a ticket tho. you can get a coffee can looking muffler and have it put on. that should be loud enough and not get you in trouble for not having an exhaust.

All I can say is you should installed your car with a high quality muffler, and you will the loud you want while you were driving by.
