I had a 93 eg hatch d16z6 turbo and i bought a ebay 3in cat back and it was really deep sounding and alot of people said it sounded good.

Hard to make a b16/b18c sound like shit unless you use some autozone 3a racing crap.

I personally love buddy club exhaust but if I were trying to be deeper\quite Id go with RSR

Not true. I had a no name on my hatch and it sounded horrible. When i was going to boost i was running 3in pipe with a dyno max bullet. Those sound good.

I would say if you are going turbo, just get something that is 3 inch w/ a decent muffler.

My apologies.... there is also a Whale Penis in her mouth which I am sure changes the exhaust note.

well before i took the motor out to be rebuilt a month after i bought it the muffler rusted off at the axle, so thats not on there but ill see what it sounds like when i pick my car up from the shop, i was looking at hks high power they sound great on you tube but so damn expensive

DO NOT use youtube as a reference for what you buy.... nearly all the videos are going to be horrible sound quality from some janky camera phone. You won't fully appreciate the tone unless it is a high quality recording or live.

I really do actually like the way mine sounds as is. And don't need an inspection for 2 more years. However, there is now RS*R Headers and an RS*R Catback in my garage + test pipe... so I may give it a run.
