That is one hideous Honda (not that I had to repeat myself)! However, look at the muffler - it really doesn't look that different from the Nur Spec. I'm sure the craftsmanship and material quality changes between price points, but honestly I still don't see where a difference in sound or performance might exist.
A quick Google turned up a site with a variety of import mufflers. Again, aside from looks, what would be the difference between an Apexi N1, a Blitz NurSpec, an HKS universal, etc?

Ok, fart cans VS. exhaust systems...
Fart can = just the tip (heheee), just the muffler back meaning to extra piping alllll the way up to the itty bitty 4cyl B16 (just to use the Civic as an example). Mostly cosmetic, these fart cans are added to LOOK like they're performance enhancers (like a Type R sticker on a Mustang which we've probably all seen sadly).
Exhaust system = From downpipe to tip, a much better quality than 90% of the ones factory cars come with. What breathes (turbos for example), must exhale. The faster and more efficiently the engine can push the leftover fuel out of the combustion chamber, the more it can suck in the clean air to replace it and cause more combustion.
This is all just opinion/my version...any renditions...bring em out, because I HAVE a Blitz Nur Spec R...and I didn't spend over $7-- on a fart can.

FYI a "fat can" is a canister type muffler the makes a fart noise when the engine revs. Or a "bees in a can" sound.
A canister muffler may or may not be a "fart can" but is cylindrical in shape.
Maybe you should reword your post so more people can understand what you are asking.

The thread is designed for me to learn more about what you call "canister mufflers" and what I call "fart cans". Constructive input is appreciated.

When it's a "canister-type muffler", does having full exhaust change the tone appreciably? Obviously on my V8 it'll sound a lot better regardless than it would on a Honduh. I guess what I'm still asking is what's the difference between the wet fart that the local high school ricers have and the sexy Blitz sound that RedPhoenix has, as far as the design and performance of the actual mufflers?

You made a thread with the first sentence saying " i drive muscle cars so i call every (import tuner) exhaust a "fart can."
Maybe you didnt realize it but a "fart can" is a derogatory term aka an insult.
Your sentence conveys that your are ignorant and that your not open-mided aka dont want to learn.
So if you actually want constructive input, maybe you should learn how to ask for it.

Pole Position
I don't think he's meaning to offend anyone by calling them "fart cans". Let's face it, there or several imports that really do sound like that. Just poking a bit of fun...some people need to stop being so sensitive
This is actually an issue I battle my dad on all the time. He's all about the V8 muscle with little patience for much else. I personally am trying to finish my exhaust with tanabe medallion touring mufflers...I showed him a sound clip and he laughs and says "sure, go ahead and turn that nice car into a ricer". Jackass
