OK, so I know this has been discussed numerous times and many many threads but I can't find the answer I'm looking for. For a 08 type S

So I'm going to remove the stock resonator and replace it with the magnaflow resonator as described in the other threads.

1. Is it really worth it?

2. Does it really make a difference in sound but still sound good? (looking at the youtube clips, you can't really tell as the sound is always distorted)

3. Will it effect emissions? ( I don't think it will since it is just for sound but just making sure)

4. This will only void my warranty on exhaust I assume right?

Thanks,

 

I did this mod on my 07 TL-S - it wasn't much money, and I can tell a little difference in the exhaust tone. Nothing major, but subtle. I don't think it effects emissions, but I'm no expert. It will only void the warranty if Acura can trace the problem caused, back to the absence of the OEM resonator, and/or prove that a problem is caused by the presence of the magnaflow resonator.

 

it makes a difference if u do what i did

 

Get the Dynomax resonator instead. It sounds better and is cheaper.

 

Agree.


1. Sure. It's a cheap farily harmless mod.

2. Yes, but not a huge difference. Add the J-Pipe when you can.

3. No. Zero effect.

4. Worst case? Possibly void the exhaust warranty.

 

thanks everyone that replied.

So bottom line is it woth possibly voiding the warranty for the exhaust for this?

 

here's the question. How offten does your exhaust break??????
Just do it

 

Id say its worth it. I deleted teh resonator and mid muffler.

Had all custom piping done to a magnaflow Y pipe and two magnaflow mufflers.

I still today get in it and love hearing start up.

 

 

do it and take off the mid muffler sounds very good.
