Opinions on the Buddy Club Exhaust

I've been looking into this exhaust for a little while, but I'm not sure if it what I'm really wanting. I can't find what size the piping is and I'm not sure if I like the muffler being mounted on the opposite side. What do you guys think?

personally, i dont like the way it looks, i think it looks kind of awkward, maybe because of the angle of the picture and it looks really small from what i can tell', its just an opinion though, you should really do what you want to do'

ps: ive "heard" that buddy club exhaust sounds great, but i havnt ever actually heard it in person'

i prefer the more oval/muffler style exhaust but on a crx i think the "can" style exhaust looks pretty sweet, call me a ricer but i saw a pic of a crx with a "can" style exhaust on the left side and it was slanted upwards.....typically exhaust slanted like that is a turn off for me but the crx it was on really pulled it off and it looked great on that car'

im sure some-1 will chime in with more useful information as far as sound goes, or maybe more pictures'

do you mean the spec 2? it's a mean sounding exhaust and mounts on the right side of the crx, piping for all buddy club exhausts for civics is 2.5 in
here's a pic

and a sound clip

Now I recognize that sound....it's what you hear right before a shitton of people start laughing. Seriously, that sounds like ass.

my gsr sounded like that,

WITH NO MUFFLER!!!!!
i need to be nicer though. i just got my megan racing exhaust today, ive heard good things about it, so im confident. the only gripe i have with that setup is the cutout on the rear bumper. get what you want, cause you are the only one who needs to be happy with it.

i think this type of exhaust, is more for function than sound or looks, it has no muffler looks like it has a resonator but thats about it. it lacks the whole back section that a crx usually has with that it gets rid of various bends and the muffler/tailpipe as a whole which no doubt increases flow and with that, horsepower and torque follow. i dont like the sound, but if the sound comes with less weight and less restriction ill take it...

Thanks for all the info guys.

I would be using this exhaust when the CRX gets turbo'd, so hopfully it won't be as loud as it was in the video 2coupes posted. I was interested in it because of its straight through design. If the piping is 2.5", then I may get this exhaust. Anyone else have any comments?
