"Preformance" Muffler Question
Sorry for the n00b question but I have searched and haven't been able to find an answer.
Please keep in mind that when I refer to a "performance" muffler that it is a muffler other than stock, not a muffler that will actually give me performance gains.
I was told when inquiring about one for sale that a performance muffler will not pass or not be acceptable when doing emissions testing. Is there truth to this?
Reason being is that I need a new muffler for my 95EG and don't really want to shell out money and find out later this year when I have to do emissions that I cannot use the muffler. Currently I can purchase a used muffler for cheaper than a new OEM one. Unless someone would like to sell me one?

you shouldn't have a problem with passing emissions. it takes quite a bit of engine modification/ bolt ons to fail an emission test with a honda.
as stated by peter, i'd go with a full cat back exhaust. not much point in just going with a muffler.

Thanks guys for the responses.
Not to sound rude, but I'm aware that a muffler will not give any performance gains (cetainly not on a D series). That's why I'm all about cost.
Cheers
