So when I bought my car it came with an unknown N1 style straight through cat-back exhaust. It was loud as hell and droned when on the freeway. I've been pulled over and ticketed for it as well.

A while back there was some construction being done on one of the roads up here and the pavement had been grooved. I drove down a hill and my car was low enough for the canister to get caught on the manhole cover than must have been at least 3 inches above the pavement itself. Needless to say I don't really have a muffler anymore.

Now it's really loud. And it really drones.

I remember reading a while back that the Apexi WS2 was quieter compared to a lot of other cat-backs from Greddy, Megan, Tanabe, Skunk2, DC, etc. I've seen the WS2 sell for about $450 with shipping, which may be more than what I want to pay, but I need not to get pulled over, listen to droning on the freeway or draw unwanted attention to myself.

Is the WS2 the way to go?

World sport is great! DEW IT!

My buddies lude had the WS2, and although it sounded almost stock cruising, when he opened it up, it sounded amazing. No raspyness, and no droning sound. I would highly recommend it, regardless of the money. Plus it's just a great looking muffler on preludes.

If you want quiet get a Greddy SP2 if you can find one.

what are the differences between the SP2 and the WS2 besides as far as noise/flow?

From what I've read is the SP2 has less flow which makes it quiet

I have a WS2 on my 4G, I've had it for several years now. I like the sound of mine, still. I have also heard good things abou the SP2 but never heard one on a Prelude. My buddy who autox with me has one on his B16 CRX and it sound nice when opened up. I have my WS2 with a test pipe and it's still quiet until I get on it. If I had another choice it would be the RS*R ExMag, not sure if they make one for the 5G but that may be something you want to look into.

here's a thought: don't mean to threadjack btw.
but could you get a KTeller piping kit sayyy 3" and open up the inlet of the ws2 muffler and weld it up together? better yet, could you do it with a Mugen? that'd be sick if you ask me.

that's what i was thinkin. with like a widened inlet and 3" piping? would that work?

i have a stock muffler because i dont like mufflers that are way too loud. so whats the best muffler to get thats not too pricey and it doesnt sound loud that much.

I installed a Greddy SP2 over the weekend. Not loud until you hit 5k rpm. Sounds nice and deep until you hit VTEC then it sounds raspy.

id go with the Apexi WS2 projectLudie, but thats just my oponion
