Default Good sounding exhaust for an EK..

The car shop that we trust the most is Little Tire.. and they only have Flowmaster and Magnaflow exhausts. would either of these sound good with a stock 1.6 liter?

I find that Hondas sound the best with their stock exhaust.

Don't get either of those. They will sound like shit. Let Magnaflow and Flowmaster stick to the V8 domestic crowd.

If you want a nice, not craptastic sound exhaust. Get an Apexi Ws2. They sound very good and even better when you go B-series. A lot of single cams sound like shit, unless inducted by force!

fuck it, just take a sawzaw and cut the pipe after your header if your looking for noise. Why waste money for noise, why not try to get performance. Exhaust doesn't add 100hp, 10 stickers do!!
