Exhaust purchasing guide     Change Background Color

This article is designed to be a last step in choosing which exhaust will fit your needs. If you have not read our previous exhaust articles please check these out in order to help you choose the right exhaust system.

Hopefully by now you have a good idea of the characteristics you require out of an exhaust system. Sometimes it's hard to drag the actual specs of exhausts out of the manufacturers (because they know it's the same as alot of others out there) so this chart is designed to help you see just who is who in the world of catback exhaust systems.

Exhaust tubing is measured on the outer diameter meaning the thickness of the walls have also been added into the measurement. Depending on material used in the system, wall thickness can vary from 0.8mm-1.5mm. The most common wall thickness you find in exhausts including the stock exhaust using 16-gauge steel is 1.5mm.

Will an exhaust made for a different model Integra fit my car?
Please view the Common Topic: Exhaust size differences in the Generation 3 forum for information on this.

Dan, i.e. TheGSRGuy, has submitted the majority of soundclips for you all to download and listen to exhausts you may be interested in. Keep in mind that sounds can differ depending on other engine modifications, recording conditions, microphone quality, etc. so the actual exhaust as it sounds on your car may or may not sound the same as in these clips. Also, I don't guarantee the accuracy of the pics provided as most of them are "stock photos" provided by the manufacturer. Your application may slighty differ.
