I am looking to get an exhaust system for my civic hatchback LX. So far there seem to be only a few options that I am looking at, and was hoping for some advice one which one to get.

The first one is the new BLOX Racing exhaust system mentioned in https://www.civicx.com/threads/new-...-sedan-and-non-sport-hatch.33081/#post-558812

The second option is to get a DBX muffler and have exhaust shop install it with custom piping like this one https://www.civicx.com/threads/2017-civic-hatchback-ex-with-flowmaster-dbx.12666/
another video showing the DBX

It seems like the cost will be about the same so I am mainly trying decide sound, i want it to sound nice but and not too loud or rice.
Also I like the smaller dual exhaust look better but would like your opinion as well.
Let me know what you think!

Just to clarify when I said i dont want it to be to loud, i mean i dont wanna be that guy in the street waking everyone up just driving normally. But i would like to sound good and loud when at high RPMs and going fast

I haven't gotten either yet, unfortunately i got rear ended pretty badly a few weeks ago and my civic was really messed up. Hopefully will get it back from the body shop this week!

Just my two cents, I ended up keeping the oem exhaust and changed the resonator, cutting the muffler, and threw new exhaust tips on there. All in all cost me about $400 and it sounds perfect! Not too loud but decent enough to make the car seem sporty.

Do you happen to have sound clips of the new exhaust?

Here’s a short sound clip of a cold start and Rev of my car with the mentioned mods.

A local exhaust shop in Oakland had them, outside of that I’m not sure where else you may find them. They were only $40 a piece if you do decide to go that route.

Sure, granted the rims are black not but the borla chrome tips really add a nice accent to the car. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions or anything specific you want to see!

What warranty is lost when doing a muffler delete?

To my understanding there isn't a loss unless something happens to the car and they prove that the muffler delete caused it
Lol they'll probably use that as an excuse if the turbskies go bad!
