Does the 2012 TSX have a exhaust silencer? I read on another website that they did and figured to come here and ask the real guys

 

elaborate on silencer like ones on aftermarket exhaust? cause no stock car has an exhaust silencer

 

are you referring to these ricey shit

 

the exhaust comes with a RESONATOR, other wise known as a "mid muffler" and then two mufflers

 

^^^ I thought the stock exhaust has a resonator and a mid muffler....

am not very sure about the TSX...the 3G does come with a resonator + a mid muffler + 2 mufflers and tips....

 

i thought we have resonator and mid mufflers as well. didn't know they are the same?

 

^^oops, correct.

 

ed, just like mufflers resonators are sound deadening parts as well....

mufflers are usually OVAL and come in sizes like 5x8 etc...they can be either straight through (which mean there will be deadening material surrounding the pipe in the muffler but nothing in the pipe itself)....or they can be filled.... filled mufflers deaden the sound very well but are not good for performance....mufflers are usually put in the end of the exhaust along with tips....

resonators are ROUND and com in sizes like 14" long and 3" diameter....resonators are usually put in the middle of the exhaust to kill rasp and drone....

essentially they are the same (perform the same thing) but the location and the size is what differentiates them...

 

So what should I put in my car if I want to make it sound nicer? I removed the intake resonator so the intake just drowns out the noise of the stock exhaust. I'd like a deeper but slightly louder exhaust. Any recommendations?

 

many users have made exhaust modifications, just search for custom exhaust in the forums, and even on youtube, you can hear multiple magnaflows, megans, fujitsubos, ct-e, and apexi, and even skunk setups on the car

 

Im doing custom exhaust in the next 2 weeks so what set up should I have on my car? I'd like it to be audible but not ricer loud. This is my first time doing a custom exhaust so sorry if I seem lost lol
