LE5 exhaust help
I bought my car used and riced out to the max so I had to tune it down, the exhaust however is still the same he threw in long tube headers I have no idea who makes em, also a scrap yard resonator and magnaflow muffler. Not sure which model. Now I want to keep the headers but the car sounds like garbage. What would you recommend for exhaust that's not too loud but still sounds like performance. Sick of sounding like a straight piped civic.
Any help would be great;
Thanks

if you're still N/A and plan on staying that way just find a used stock LE5 or LSJ exhaust. I'm running a non catted long tube with the stock LE5 exhaust and it sounds fine. It's not loud until you get on it and even then it's not very loud at all.
I plan on keeping this setup when I add the supercharger also.

The eBay catbacks aren't bad. They are all stainless steel. There's a lot of people running that exhaust. The pacesetter muffler isn't stainless steel and will rust through in like a year. My muffler rusted through in like 5 different spots. And it sounded like crap
eBay catback>pacesetter catback.

did some digging around on the car, they are pace setter long tubes. so I may need to change the headers too if you guys are saying Pace setter is garbage. idk how long they have been mounted but they have help up so far we will see how this winter goes. the question still remains, what should I throw on there it sounds decent at low RPMs it just humms along but when I put my foot down its either a hole in the flex pipe(which I have put my hands around while the car was runn ing and felt nothing) or a hole somewhere else. also it might be the magnaflow muffler that's making me sound like a RICE MACHINE
