So I want to get a nice open exhaust for performance, but I really want to maintain near-stock sound. The Tanabe Medallion Touring sounded nice, but they only have the axle-back.

SO, I remember reading somewhere(and can't find it now) that some civic SI model had a cat-back exhaust that would fit on the Fit, improving flow and maintaining near-stock sound?

First off, does anyone know what exhaust that might be?
Second, does anyone know where I could find one?
Third, does anyone have a stock SI exhaust installed?
Lastly, I'm wanting to purchase the Megan Headers, will the exhaust-side bolt pattern line up with the SI exhaust?

 

What Si Civic are you talking about? Ep3 (hatch that looks like the Fit)
Or the 8th gen Civic. Newest Si's (2door and 4door)

If youre talking about the Ep3 theres countless threads on it. Do a search.

Either exhaust and muffler wont just bolt up.
Youll need to take it to an exhaust shop and have it welded on.

 

ahh the ep3, that must be it. The ep3's entire cat-back exhaust fits on the fit doesn't it?

Sorry, couldn't think of the name or i would have searched it.

 

i don't believe it's a direct bolton, but i could be wrong

 

will it line up with the hangars and stuff? that was more my issue

 

Cat-back = no.
Axle-back = yes with modification.

You will have modify the flange that connects to the mid-pipe and the hangers. The can will sit WAY TOO LOW if you do not cut them down.

 

that sucks.

What in the world are my options for a QUIET header-back exhaust then?

I'm thinking megan headers, but the rest I have no idea now. TMT muffler maybe but then what mid and b pipe?

I would really like for it to sound stock but deliver performance.

 

Just go with the Ep3 muffler, custom fitted of course because it wont bolt on a stated above.
Then replace everything in front of it. The size of the muffler, and being an OEM muffler the tone wont be loud.

 

The EP3 muffler is good up to 270 horse power.
