i did a head swap which gave me 8 more valves... which surprisingly enough made it alot louder. and now its just too loud and sounds like crap


i have a header going to 2.5" pipe to a magnaflow muffler.

and yes.. i know i dont have a catalytic converter.. but ill put one on if it will
keep it from sounding like crap you can hear a 15 blocks down.

but other than a cat... any other suggestions?

i heard about pinch pipeing... where they pinch the exhaust pipe at points to make it quieter. :hsdunno:

throw on a cat and the biggest resonator you can fit under there

theyre sellin high flow cats/glass packs on ebay for around 50 bucks


but they come in 14" 16" or 18"

should i go with 18"?

daveb91

Yeah 18" that usually quites them down a little. Just make sure it doesnt choke down inside the resonator.

daddiodanger

second that

you don't want cops chasing you down from 15 blocks away just to make a couple extra horsepower.

Does your B-pipe have a resonator, or is it straight piped? I cut mine out and straight piped it cause it was coming apart inside; sounded like an aluminum can in there. I noticed the exhaust got a little louder, but not too much.

If you're like me, and don't like the big fart cans, I plan on doing a whole custom system. I'll probably go with a 2 1/4 or 2 1/2 inch piping with a high-flow cat, magnaflow round muffler for the resonator in the b-pipe section, and a 1 inlet/ 2 outlet magnaflow for the rear section so that the visible tailpipes appear stock.

The goal is reduced backpressure, quiet, and appearing stock.

Hope that gives you some ideas on possibilities

i got an ebay header to custom 2.5" piping all the way to my magnaflow


sounds like shee-yat after i swapped to a head with 8 more valves


and i too hate fart cans...

i bought a 16" resonator... and gonna put that on... see how that works... and then probably go to a high flow cat after that

drop the magnaflow and get an apexi ws2 muff

you put a 16v head on a 8v block? A 1.6 onto a 1.5? did you change pistons?

menappi

LOL why would he need to do that? you ever heard of a mini me? (not saying you have vtec, i forget the term for swappin an si head on a dx block)
