hey man u can get a 2.25 cat back mild steel crush bent for bout 260

and fit it with a muffler from me for 140 ;)

mandrel bent is slightly less restrictive but dearer.

i got a 2.25 crush bent with stainless muffler and im looking to get a mandrel soon.
might gain 0.5hp lol

Well you can get yourself some X-Force headers for around $500. I almost got a set in unfinished mild (just plain looking no pollished finish like the X-Force) for a VTi for $300 i think it was.

A cat back press bent in 2.25 you'd be stupid to spend more than $200 fitted(unless your getting pollished finish). I paid $160 for my cat back, works a treat and sounds nice, not too loud but a good note. Cats... got no idea how much they're worth.

Is that $350 for headers AND catback with BYO muffler? Or just Catback + BYO Muffler?

nah just the piping

though..

2.5" might b a bit too big for the civics 1.6

2.1/4 is ideal

It was meant as an example of a "run of the mill" custom system.... wasn't suggesting he buy it.. lol.
Danny, $350 seems abit much, Livo quoted me $280.

although contrary to what everyone else has said, I would only go the following on exhaust diameter:
- 2 inch if its mandrel bent
- 2.25 inch if its press bent.

I believe the stock pipe is 1.75 inch. and its press bent. (pls correct me if i'm wrong).

so 2 inch mandrel should be a good compromise without sacrificing too much low end tractability (what tractability?! hehee :D )

Yes, 2.25" mild mandrel bent. From what I gather the general consensus for catback at Livo is around $240-300 depending on who quotes you.
