silencer exhaust in the civic
For about 8 months or so i have been puttin up with this loud *** exhaust on my car(apexi n1 style muffler) well just today i decided to put the silencer on it and man that thing made it so much more quieter, i love it i can hear my engine now not the gases escaping. The thing is the silencer looks ugly to me and tacky, any of u guys agree with me on the silencer's but still have them on your car? post up a pic of it if ya want.

Re: silencer exhaust in the civic (Vtecin94dx)
I have a silencer in my exhaust, because I got pulled over a few mos ago and the cop said my muffler was too loud and said I needed a silencer...so I threw it in. I can feel the restriction of power on the butt dyno, but its nice because it's still fairly loud at WOT but I don't have to deal with the buzz on the highway. My muffler is getting old though...i'll definitely be picking up a WS in the spring.

Re: silencer exhaust in the civic (Vtecin94dx)
You are exactly right.............not two days ago i took my silencer out to hear what it sounded like. I couldnt handle it more then a day. I put it back in and realized that it sounds so much better with it in. You can definitely hear your motor a hell of a lot better and its just flat out a lot less annoying. When you downshift it feels like your in a tunnel and i hate that. Yeah the silencers are not the most appealing thing in the world but who cares.

maybe u have a bunch of exhaust build up, i put my silencer in when i first had my car and it went in all easy then I put it back in like 8 months later and it was harder to put in because of all the crap that had builded up, but i just whipe it off and it went in. That or you could put some KY JELLY on there, just lube it up.

Re: silencer exhaust in the civic (civic_type_r)
God you guys are so noise sensitive (excluding those that are required to deal with it like in cali). I have a 3 inch exhaust with a n1 and no resonator, no cat and certainly no silencer and it doesn't seem any louder to me than any of the other exhausts on the road. I don't know if being turbo has anything to do with it though.

You could try sanding the edges down...might make it easier to slide in.

I didn't mind my loud exhaust, it was when I got pulled over when I decided to put my silencer back in.

No it doesn't.
The silencer only has to do with muffling which occurs in the muffler. Restrictions ar minimal. I have 2.5" piping in mine and can look straight down the muffler with the silencer and see 2.5" piping. What I'm trying to say is there is no bottleneck caused by the muffler.

Let me ask you a simple question. Why do you think "The silencer silences by changing the way the muffler muffles" without restricting flow? How do you think it accomplishes this feat?

Re: silencer exhaust in the civic (scratchy)
IT HAS BEEN DYNO PROVEN THAT THE SILENCER WILL KILL YOUR POWER!
Now that I got that off my chest, I have seen silencers cause the car to loose as much power that it was comparable to the stock exhaust, +/- 1-2hp.

True but I don't think its as bad as you make it out to be-

Spade Dynoed 114.5 with a silencer and 116 without one. But then again...the exhaust probably puts only 2hp to the wheels anyway
