I just installed an HP Racing Muffler and holy crap that thing is loud. I am so annoyed. I needed a muffler bad and couldn't make up my mind on a rear section to buy. I think I am going back to a stock exhaust because this whip ain't a civic and I don't like loud ass exhaust. Now everytime I see a freakin cop I'm gonna have to put in the clutch and let idle until I pass him..F%$#

 

Hahaha, i know how u feel man. Thats why i wanted to buy an axle-back system, cause its cheap, and u can swap mufflers in 10 minutes. "civic nation: bbaaaaaaaaaaaa, baaaaaaa"

 

get a silencer for it.. it makes it 100x quieter

 

The messed up thing it does have a silencer on it and still is loud as hell. It is not even that big that is why I bought it , I'm gonna have to get a new exhaust quickly.

 

thats what you get for not getting a magnamuff

 

did u just buy the muffler, or a cat back?

 

Just the muffler because I want a complete exhaust but haven't made up my mind which one to buy so in the meantime I bought this f'in thing and it is louder than my rusted ass muffler I replaced

 

shiiiit. Same thing happened to my brother and his civic (baaack in the day) he just played his stereo louder. Lol. Sorry man. See if any one wants to trade with u in ur area (some people like it loud)

 

Magnaflow

 

from what i hear.. bigger the exhaust.. the quieter it is..

this is usually with stock engines.. or with minor modifications..

i have a 3.5" tip.. with short-ram intake..

how big is your outlet?

 

shizzle

 

Could get a nice long resonator on it. would quiet it a bit.

 

meineke bob told me the resonator just takes out the raspyness doesnt quit it at all....true?

 

Well me and meineke Bob will have a chat this weekend because I'm gonna rip that loud ass biatch out and replace to OEM..

 

 

u might want an aftermarket exhaust after u do your h22a swap or the back pressure will be tremendous..just go with the magnaflow..i was just listening to shineylights old vid that he posted and that shit sounds good-
(be easy w/ meineke bob hes a big dude and is in no shortage of 2 1/2 pipe to go upside your head w/)

 

After f(&^(*in around with several different mufflers, i ended up just buying a stock muffler and had midas weld the muffler to the 2.5" cat back b-pipe. I've got a magnaflow resonator on it right now, and honestly, it sounds damn good. Nice and quiet, but it's got a growl when I punch it. Oh, and I got all my torque back. I really dont believe in aftermarket exhausts unless you have forced induction. It's all mental in terms of power production - the louder it is and more money that you spent on it the more you think you actually did something for your car. but that's just my 2 cents.

 

well the main problem with the muffler is how heavy it is.. i think someone weighed it at 40+ pounds.

the weight loss and the lower restriction probably result in similar, small, gains.
