im getting magnaflow #14815 with resonator. wut size resonator u think it will sound better on our 2.3 CL? 18 inch or 22 inch?

 

i think the 22in will give a deeper, more muffled tone. i could be wrong

 

so 22" ?? anyone else?

 

forget that take off your resonator

i have mine off and i love the loud sound

i have the dual 3in tip 2.25 inlet SS muffler

 

then theres that....just be careful, in NY, we get tickets like crazy for exhaust noise. I'm sure Cali isn't any different. its not worth it to me to get something that you have to worry about getting a ticket for.

 

i have the exhaust on right now with out resonator actually. itz freaken deep loud. i like it but its too damn loud. im getting resonator tomorrow. thinking 18 or 22.

 

97acura3.0cl's is loud, i can vouch for that but Im wondering what size resonator as well. Becuase I dont want mine that loud

 

im pretty sure the bigger the resonator, the more it keeps the sound low.

 

i think imma go with 18 inch but still not too sure!

 

i got the longest one I believe... sounds nice and deep... but not intruisive when cruising... only when accel and decel.

 

I have the 18 incher with that same muffler. Its deep but not crazy loud. Pretty much what ju5tchi11in said, when you hit the gas and let off. But sounds great when just cruising at 75.

 

just curious where do you get the resonator from? I see the mufflers on ebay but not the resonators. do you have to order them straight from magnaflow, or do certain muffler shops have them.

 

I just did a google search for magnaflow resonators had a few sites pop up, www.hottexhaust.com had the best prices. Got mine for around 35 bucks if i remeber correctly.

 

i bought it from where i installed my exhaust from... 22" it is. i liked how Robs exhaust sounds..not too loud but loud and deep enough. mine is tooo loud but is really deep. so imma get 22 inch. it was 65$ installed.

 

babyloc where did you get your muffler from , I was thinking of getting that exact same model number. I saw some on ebay for like $140 ish

 

btw rob...i called u today to ask u this question.did u get 2 missed call from unavailable numbers? cuz i wuz calling from my work. btw thx for the response.

 

oh and we need some sound clips common if you have a digicam it has a movie mode

 

hehe...yah ill try to borrow my friends gfz digi and record the sound after i get my resonator. i got it for 130$ +35$ isntallation for mah exhaust. it only costed me 35$ cuz i already had custom piping from mah previous n1 exhaust that i got rid of( soudned like SHIT). the shop is called SUPER TUNNNING. 99% of the valley people go there for their exhaust. his freaken known in the valley and also a very cool guy. oh yah...also he does a great job on exhaust. he know wut his doing.

 

oh yah...i forgot to tell u guyz my exhaust story that happend yesterday. yesterday, i stoped at the red light, next thing i know there is a cop right next to me. magnoflow exhaust gives a deep loud even at 2-3000 rpm. even though i wuz pushing my accel padel very slowly, it wuz still fuckin LOUD! the cop wuz keep staring at me but he wuz nice enough not to gib me an exhaust ticket. btw i dont have a resonator right now so itz super loud but deep loud so it sounds good. i think the magnaflow exhaust that i have is loudest when it hits 4000-4500 rpm and as u go farder rpm, the deep sound decreases n gives a lil medium pitch sound, dats when u hear my V2 intake. i love my exhaust! i got it done last saturday. but ill probably like it more with resonator installed. getting it done tomorrow.

 

lol i dont have a resonator i took it out when i did my exhaust

 

ill make one tonight on my way home from my interview

 

david that was you you fuckface I was in class and I was like who the hell is calling me...

next time leave a message dumb ass.

 

ju5tchi11in, do you have any sound clips of your exhaust? I thinking of getting a setup just like yours

 

hahahaha mah bad....im not use to leaving msges cuz i never do. well... ill leave a msg next time juss fo u! hahaha again..mah bad.

 

hoe do you remove the resonator?
thanks

 

damn jake...where have u been. i havnt seen u in this forum fo long time!

 

to remove resonator you need to get it cut off... it is welded into the exhaust piping... I don't think you could really do it yourself... I could be wrong though.

and sorry justin no sound clips I might do one if I can find someone who's digi camera has a video thing. Fuck my shit sank lower after i put the subs in... I am rubbing my tires on turns and shit if I was to put a camber kit on my tires wouldn't actually fit since they are so tucked.

 

aww damn, I really wanted to hear it, oh well. You have teins right? just raise em a bit so that you dont rub anymore

 

i borrow the digicam yesterday. i recorded the sound but i need to only take the sound out from the video i recorded cuz it will be too much to host. i dont know how to do it so im waiting for my friend to do it fo me. soon as he does it, ill post it.

 

if u get the 22 inch it will hang a little low and you will scrapei know because i have it on mine. it is pretty big (round). you will have a very deep rumble. if you drive carefully then i say the 22.

 

i don't rub my resonator... im basically almost on the floor... my mudflaps in the front are now an inch and a half off the ground... and that is after they have been worn away a bit from pavement.

 

I cant wait to slam my car more and have worn out mudflaps too haha

 

im thinking i should just take them off... yeah I have teins I hate taking off the wheels I gotta drive up onto bricks so I can get the jack under the front or the side of the car lol.

fuck I need a headunit so i can get that remote turn off wire... the feedback when turning car off with stock headunit is such abitch.

 

I reaaaaallly wanna hear some sound clips of these Magnaflow exhausts! Whether its the 18 or 22 in., with or without resonator, etc. I just wanna get the feel for what it sounds like. I definitely dont want that ricey WHAAA sound that you hear a lot. I just want a deep purr, and maybe a little bit of a roar when accelerating. So pleeeease....anyone who is capable, post sound clips!! Thanks in advance.

 

its not only the muffler... it is the custom piping...

 

So I was just reading up on some exhaust/resonator threads because I have the 14816 muffler sitting in my garage waiting for a resonator and some 2.25 piiping...

I was curious if this is the correct one...

http://www.hottexhaust.com/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=10434

and the Magnaflow part number is Magnaflow 10434

I was also wondering what the difference may be between a magnaflow resonator or just the stock... I could save myself some money...

thanks for any input

 

Oh and... I was checking the sizing of the inlets and my muffler has a 2.25 inlet and the link I posted has a 2" inlet... I can't find any 22" resonators that have the 2.25 inlets on ebay or anywhere.. any help?

 

I got the 14815 i think and it sounds fine to me. I was going to get a resonator but after hearing it I think its quiet enough. It sounds nice and is only really heard when punched. Id get the muffler installed than see if you want the resonator on later on. Cause personally I like the way mine sounds.

.02

 

Oops... I realize that, that one has only the 2" inlet I went down one to the Magnaflow 10435 and that might be correct... anyone have input again? thanks

 

So... if I get just the muffler on... How much would that cost? And If I don't like it since I have an offer an a 22" resonator I would have to spend more money on 2.25" piping and install of all that...

I dunno...
