Civic exhaust - fuel economy???

[RandomFact314]

I don't know a lot about OEM vs Aftermarket but I was going to replace it anyways and was looking for one I would be thinking about keeping it light weight

Now I'm not saying you should buy carbon fiber b/c that's expensive but you get what I'm saying

I'd go with stainless if you can get it. I've had to repair multiple rusted pipes on mine, and I live in Texas where there is no salt on the roads.

For mileage, oem-style is good.

I've actually had good luck finding cheap oem exhaust parts on ebay and thepartsbin. If all you need is the pipe and a muffler (is your cat. converter still good?), then you also may want to try your luck at a salvage yard. You really never know what you're going to find. In New york state at least I've found some good exhaust parts here and there, but they are required to nip off the cat for salvage yards.

Muffler does not show up but everything else looks to be avalible.

Well the muffler makes up basically 50% of the parts that I need... lol

Got the other part (long pipe with resonator) for half of the Honda OEM price.
