I think the Apexi Noir is just the WS2 system with a different finish....

If you're going turbo you'll need at least 2.5" front to back depending on how much power you'll be making.

The apexi system is 60mm which is not quite 2.5 inch, so do you suggest a custom exhaust? Or just go with the apexi?

Forget the WS2 system then. 2.5" at least.

on the apexi site you can get just the ws2 muffler with a 80mm inlet, what im trying to stay away from is the loud sound really want it sounding as close to stock as i can

Check out the vibrant stealth flat black muffler. They make it with 2.5" inlet and I've heard a few civics with them. They sound nice. Not overly loud or obnoxious.

if you look @ my posts you will see i did a thread regarding the Apexi WS2 Muffler.

im in the same boat as you..

i need a new muffler this year, theres no way around it..

i have 2.25" exhaust system 400CFM cat and a resonator.

im debating on either the

Apexi WS2 Muffler
or the
Vibrant Stealth Performance Muffler


i was told that the Apexi WS2 Muffler alone is a bit louder than the full exhaust system..


any one have any of these mufflers? and would like to share some input on them ? or suggestions?

thxx

If I plan on doing the turbo is 2.5 inch good? Because they also make a 3 inch but I'm not going crazy with the boost maybe just 10 psi.

^Don't pick a boost limit, choose a power goal first. Boost level will be subject with regards to the power goal and specifics of the setup.

2.5 is good to 250-300whp.

Ok man thanks for the info, so what if I do 3 inch incase further down the road I want over 300 would running a 3" from the beginning make that much of a diff? Or when the time comes change to 3" and just do 2.5 for now? And don't forget for the time being I'm still NA till I get all the parts together, thanks buddy
