Any bumper burning or black soot on the bumper? Do you ever scrap it? Like backing up into a parking spot etc.
I’ve had the exhaust for almost 9 months. Never scraped it, no burning bumper.
I only put the downpipe on the other day so i can’t comment black soot just yet

All gaskets included and plug and play?

This might be a weird question, but does Greddy or most exhausts include a Front pipe?

All gaskets included. I did the install in about an 2 hours with minimal clearance. That includes taking the stock one off. Just spray some silicone on the rubber hangers.
It does not include a front pipe, but you don’t really need one. The restriction is in the downpipe

Your title say best B4$ and so it should have a stock exhaust option or DP only option. No exhaust is even close to worth it for this car if you are considering B4$ only. Get a catless downpipe and be done with it if you want the best B4b$. If you need to spend $ on an exhaust know that it won't noticeably help performance it just sounds and looks cool.

Also worth noting that if you put a catless down pipe and keep the stock exhaust system, you will develop a raspy sound at higher rpm’s. You’ll have to remove the resonator. But yes, don’t expect the power gain from a cat back exhaust

Added Stock set up, too the poll.
Prl proved no gains from exhaust systems. And i dont think a Downpipe should be classified as a Exhaust system, a component yes but not a complete system.

Do you run a exhaust set up? If so which one? Do you like it?

No, I am a cheapo and the CVT Civic is my family car. I keep up with the threads and performance options, but am still 100% stock. I really need to get a ktuner though, my Civic has been paid off for a year and a half. I should just throw $1k at a Ktuner and PRL DP.

Is there a huge sound difference between catted and catless? Other than the raspiness. I’m having a hard time choosing between the two
