Has anybody on the board had experience with these? I just bought one and am going 2.5" from the cat back (meeting up to the new axleback already in place). The last OEM resonator will be deleted so the 40 series will take its place.



Here's the link for the 40 series

I have a feeling it's going to sound loud and just plain sick. I already have headers, a new RT cat is coming in, and the axle back as most of you know.

Ideas, compliments and opinions welcome.

 

Gonna be loud & drone at 2k-2500 rpms or so. They are much more common on Mustangs.

I had them on my 94 GT 5.0L. They sounded awesome, but were loud and droned pretty bad from 50-60mph.

 

Never heard those on anything but V8's (trucks, camaro's, & mustangs). I don't think they would be right on a CL.

 

I have 1 on my Explorer. I don't think it will serve any real purpose if your using it as a resonator replacement.

 

Won't it work if it has similar volume to the resonator?

 

that might sound kind of poopy. i would just get a bullet muffler or another resonator. i replaced mine with an hks resonator off of an old hipower system from a car long gone.

 

save the money....boost it....run open downpipe

 

It will be boosted next year. But first, I'm working on the internals.

My bass drones out the exhaust all the time.

 

Definitely put up a sound clip when you have it in place. I always wondered about Flowmasters on something other than a Stang.

 

Sorry man, thats going to sound really bad

 

IMO ..keep that shit in domestics

 

It will sound bad. It's meant for domestics...actually scratch that, muscle cars only. Even regular domestic cars sound bad with 40 series. I had them with custom piping on my Mustang and that was the only time it sounded good. Please, stick to something meant for imports.

 

If I read his post correctly, he's using this to replace his resonator only and has axlebacks already that he's keeping.

 

i dont think he has axlebacks, their just pipes, it looks like this will be the ONLY thing to deaden the sound. its going to be loud. i run 2 mufflers and 1 resonator on a 2.5" system and its one step too loud. but no where close to the sound of the mustangs w/ 2.5" duals. but loud for an acura. im looking to upgrade the resonator.

 

^^^He got it, I'm running straight pipes on my axle back. And yes, this will be replacing the OEM resonator on the b-pipe. I'm not going for sound cancelation. Just opening the exhaust a lil bit and add more sound.

 

in that case, i think its going to sound pretty terrible.

 

Even with beefing up the internals?

 

well, if by boost, you mean turbo, the sound will be reduced by 1/3 by that alone.

anways, go cl-p's!!

 

 

its going to sound bad, you need 2 mufflers and a resonator at the min to have a reasonable sound.

 

When I have it installed I will put up a video clip. I'll have some locals be the judge as well.

EDIT: I have a feeling some will be able to stand the sound while others won't like it at all. hehee

BTW...Merry Christmas everyone!

 

Interesting, why not the 60 series? Its meant for the I4 and V6 engines.

Looking foward to the sound clips

 

Ive seen the 60 series on an import v6 and I didn't think it was loud enough.

 

you want it really loud

 

Really Loud =

 

Maybe a lil bit.

 

maybe a lot. why do you want it loud? its an acura. you're not gaining anything performance wise.

 

I am keeping my stockies on :}

 

Stockies on what car you stealing pics from again?

 

^^^I really don't want you wasting bandwidth in my thread.

To be really honest, I want a throatier sound.

I know, I know...why did I do it? I was going for a throatier sound but it wasn't what I was looking for. So, I just got used to the sound. But, since I've been modifying the engine, when its time for the big stuff to go on, the exhaust will already be done to a larger diameter to help it breath better.

Who knows, I might add aftermarket mufflers if it is too loud.

 

You do realize he has more posts than you?

At least the 1st genners that have 20,xxx posts have something to talk about.

 

Yes sadly And I have been on this forum nearly a year and a 1/2. He has 2 months of total nonsense bullshit.

I wonder if it's possible in a forum to allow the original poster from disabling certain users from making comments in their thread.

 

Disabling users? I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask.

 

Getting back on topic, a few 7th gen Accord owners use the Flowmaster mufflers. They usually run a pipe from the cat into a resonator, then use two flowmaster mufflers with some nice tips. I would recommend going the traditional route on this one.

 

How about just banning for impostering or just plain stupidity.

 

acuracltypeso3 has to post somthing in every single thread, he has been on here for 3 months and has almost 800 post, its gettin kinda old.

If you want a good chuckle. He just got exposed for being a poser. And he has over 800 posts

 

Like I said in an earlier post, if its too loud I'll get some aftermarket mufflers to calm down the noise.

Joshimoto, just noticed you're in Puyallup...whereabouts?

 

I have a friend that did that. Well, to an extreme. He wanted just noise...lot's of noise on his Scooby 2.5RS. He had Borla headers, then a pipe from the collector straight to a muffler tip. No muffler, no resonator, no pre-muffler. It sounded like an anemic Harley. I can understand the desire to sex up a car's sound, but I say go down the road more traveled in this case. Just my

 

I appreciate all the replies, now it's just a matter of waiting for the stuff to come so it can be put on
