What exhaust section 1-2 would pair well with my setup?

[Bostonbruck]

I am interested in adding some new mods to my exhaust system. I have been adding a new mod every year or 2. Here is my current setup.

Headers = European Headers
Section 1 = Stock
Section 2 = Stock
Section 3 = Supersprint Race

What section 1-2 would pair well with what I’m currently running? Thanks

You didn’t mention what you dislike/like from your current setup, so just throw the money towards an HTE or Paul Claude tune.

way better use of funds in my opinion

Euro cats or leave it alone would be my suggestion until you want different headers, but you'll lose some power. How loud is that straight piped setup with the SS race?

I’d get a quality resonated section one and leave section two stock or get the oversized SS section 2.

SS and rogue engineering have good Resonated section ones

It’s loud. Has drone. It attracts a lot of attention, even when driving civil. I dislike how much it smells. Seems like the best option for me would be to get a European section 1 and a good tune.

SS Race = Honda Civic

Get rid of that muffler it's awful lol

If not,

Resonated Sec 1 and Resonated Sec 2

It is raspy. Much worse with stock headers tho. The mixed opinions are interesting, many people think it’s the best exhaust for this car, other than dixis

Best sounding for me is an El Diablo.

Loved mine.

Sadly it made less power and was more of a choke. If your car is relatively stock it's a good option.

SS Race's just fit nicely and look good. Sound is relative but they always sound like Civics to me at least.

This, and just leave the Euro headers...best bang for the buck header. The Euro Section I will def calm it down some.

Euro Sec 1 and a different muffler

Smell is due to you being catless so it won't go away until you put the Cat back on wether it's catted sec 1 or oem Us headers, SS race to me is very ricey but it's a euro pitch sound type of nostalgia thing which some love and some don't, should look into SCZA best all around section 3 and no drone. Back to what you're asking for, I recommend CPI/Bimmerworld rasp terminator section 1 as it'll help with drone and some rasp. Section 2 is a bit tricky since I don't see a lot of "good" information on whether it helps rasp and power but in general get Resonantor section 2 to at least control drone and rasp.

You can leave stock section 2, but I suggest to change section 1 to euro cats or add one more resonator to oem section 1

They now make it 2.5"

I thought it went from 55mm (stock) in Rev 1 to 60mm for Rev 2, not 63.5mm. Didn't see any diameters mentioned on their site. Do you have a link Phil?

Same take aways I got after going cat-less with a section 3 that's louder than stock. Supersprint doesn't make a resonated section 1 that mates up to the stock euro header section, but they do make a single pipe and a twin pipe resonated section 2. There's the most common recommendation of adding a Ar20/25 next to the stock section 1 resonator, or like you said adding euro cats. Are those euro cats expensive nowadays? I was going to keep an eye out on sales for the section 2 resonated x pipe.
