i would like a nicer exhaust note and for it to scream at WOT but be quiet at idle and fine cruising. i know the stock Ti is AMAZING but im looking for a bit more. what can i get for a relatively low price (used) stainless and good looking from the rear. any input appreciated thank you.

Consider the bypass mod to your titanium exhaust.

you'll pay at least 600 for a used corsa or borla stinger system

B&B bullets, rattle the windows of your local downtown shops, I love um on my ride, NASCAR effect

I'm runnin um with stock Z06 manifolds and straight pipes(no xpipe) I don't get what others call drone, just a nice rumble on highway cruisein

i had true dual with eliminators on my 85 and i liked it but everyone else hated it but i want the car to be "classy and sassy"

Love the XS Power Exhaust!

$650 shipped(new). I have this on my C5 and I love it. mild while cruising but screams when you get on it.

xs seems good, little steep for catback. but nothing for these cars are cheap. the billy boats are eliminators arent they?

racebum

xs is all made in china, knock off and brittle stainless

anything decent will be north of $1000 if you go no, corsa sport etc

wow maybe ill have to suffer

Cedarberry

Nah, just get on the "for sale " sub forum and follow close and you can find good deals, catbacks on there all the time

I just bought set of kooks headers new in unopened box for 750 shipped, I get most everything I need want for my car off there, and I've bought a crap load of goodies over the past year, most half of retail.

What do you have from the motor to the catback? If it's stock, a set of headers and X-pipe will wake up those Ti's.

like a borla crossover/X?

First time I have heard of XS being brittle. For years on here everyone has talked about how awesome they are. Where do they break at?

There are a lot of good catback systems out there that will make your car sound great. I am running a set of the Corsa Indy Pace Cars (now called the Corsa Sport I think) and they are music to the ear. No drone or popping when driving the car and when you push down on the gas pedal, they really wake up.

id love the indys but 1200 for catbacks seems steep

racebum

no decent vendor sells them, if anything they detract value from your car over stock. xs just like obx is a cheap china knock off product that's designed to appeal to people who want to be...well...cheap

for the same money or less you can buy used z06 ti's and do the bypass mod, or, find a used set of stingers or magnaflows or other quality product

may even get lucky and find something from corsa.

my point was, for the money, buy quality used over new chineese knock offs

there is no better place to witness what obx & xs products are like than on honda tech. lot of broke kids buy those brands to mod their civics and integras. many also go back to stock and or buy quality like HKS, Greddy etc. a year later when they have issues with their "mods"

i got my stock Tis that are in good shape i want my good sound for less than $500, so at the moment i can do the bypass get the borla x pipe or get some used corsas/stingers

CactusCat

And if you really want some cheap ones... the auction site has some for under $400... be aware that I've never heard of anyone that has used them. So buyer beware... but like was stated by jcsperson, if you don't have headers and x-pipe, save up and get some. A true increase in performance and it'll make your current catbacks sound really good.
