i've got a 1.5L breeze and im gonna get a muffler (again) this week and i've got these 3 in mind, all opinions apreciated.
first one is a firehill 4" tip with a 2" inlet priced at $130:

second one is a 3" Zigen with a 2" inlet priced at $90: im wondering if i get this one how different the tone of it will be since the 1.5L carb doesnt have much power and some people suggested i get a smaller one because the 4" will produce a more deep note instead of the screaming note which i want.

and the third is a HKS 4" which is $140 with a 2.5" inlet: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4571282829&fromMakeTrack=true

if the first 2 have a 2" inlet will they fit my civic since its 2.5"? which one would u guys pick? (for a 1.5L civic)
all opinions welcome (no smart comments).
thanks guys

aren't they all a bit too big?

i'm suprised you have a 2.5" inlet on the carb, the tips are way too big, wonder what they'll sound like.

whatta u mean? the 4" tip? why would the tip be too big? 3" isnt that big its a baby cannon. im not sure about the piping isnt the 1.5L civics 2.5"? if the tip is too big then what the hell do people with breeze buy cause i've seen alot of breezes with 4" cannons and they sound alright, i've currently got a oval sports box from liv exhaust on and sounds ok with a deep tone to it but i want louder and better looking muffler thats why im going for a cannon.

If you can stretch out your budget, get the real deal like tanabe, apexi
if its too much, get xforce..fitted once on my friend's jazz and sound better than those mufflers at autobarn I've bought
cheap aftermarket muffler are very loud and sound like its ready to blow up..no offence bro
and those muffers on eBay are not that good, they are made of cheap quality..I've bought one a while ago and only lasted on my car for 1 week

I suggest you to spend more and get it right

^^^ great info thanks bro, yeah i might as well just get a Xforce then, this trader on ebay has the LE05L xforce cannon for $130 brand new which is 3.5" tip and 5" barrel with any size inlet. the issue now is what size i should get to get the best sound from the muffler. im gonna go to my mates performance shop tomorrow see what hes got first i think he can whip me a good cannon for around $150 fitted but i dont know the brand.
thanks again joey.

1.5 Cab I suggest no more then 2.25inch inlet. 2" would be the best choice

hey do the have the apexi one aswell?
coz i had the apexi one onmy CRX and god dam its loud, due to the barrel size.
but it looks cute as its small.

i prefer the 5zigen one.

with these mufflers it makes a buzzn noise.

3" inch cannon is a baby cannon? bro you've being looking at turbo exhausts.

you should be looking at 2" inlet with 2.25 or 2.5"

i got a hurricane one today at liverpool exhaust for realllll cheap cause i told the boss i was unsatisfied with the last one they put on. its a 4.5" tip with a 2" inlet and looks like a jet engine sticking out of the back (humongous). not real loud cause of the piping under my breeze but sounds nice and clean and looks really good. i might get a catback and extractors later on.
