I am getting my turbo setup installed on my 89 CRX soon and want to have a 3" exhaust. Will a standard Dynomax quiet it down enough? Will it sound ok with the dynomax? I want to get something local and its pretty much the only 3" straight through I can find. Thanks.

 

i have a full 3" exhaust and its loud. i have a straight thru 12-14" resonater and magnaflow muffler. Its too loud for me but i could not afford to buy anything else to weld in.

 

3 inch exhaust on a turbo car shouldn't really be that loud.

Well its not THAT loud but its way louder than i want. Id rather hear the turbo spool and bov.

 

I have 3 in and dynomax muffler not straight thru and its loud to loud to daily drive.

 

I think if your running a streight through muffler and its too loud for ya add a 16-18" resinator and it will quiet it down a bit.. Worked great on my old turbo gsr, it was deep.

 

My friend runs the kteller 3" exhaust with a magnaflow 3"..it's QUIET *** hell..NEARLY as quiet as my stock exhaust..no lie, I could barely hear his car start up and I cannot hear him drive when he was behind me.

is that a magnaflow straight thru? it cant be cuz i have the SAME thing and its loud.

 

im using 2 20$ summit resonaters 1 as a muffler
sounds deep and not overly loud

 

Im doing a full 3" on my street car next week..... All mandrel bent stainless and 2 resonators, one in the rear as a muffler... I will let everyone know how it sounds once its done

thats my exact setup
2 summit resonaters sounds pretty damn nice

 

haha... kinda crazy... Same car, same exhaust setup... Nice lol...

Yeah, Im just running a 3 " dowpipe with flex bolted up to a resonator, and then 3 inch all the way back to another resonator in the rear with and angle/dump welded on to it to keep the bumper from getting all black lol

i will post pics when its done

 

ill have pics of mine to if anyone needs them for reference
3" dp&gt;flex&gt;pipe&gt;resonater&gt;pipe to resonater as muffler

 

So what p/n do i get from Summit? This sounds like a good plan: 2 resonators-no mufflers, right?

 

gotta keep in mind the people who have stripped interior, definitly will be louder.

just search on summit for exhaust and resonaters, 3" in 3" out 21 bucks each

 

I have 2.5" dp flare to 3". I have a high flow cat. and Thermal muffler. I also use 2 resonators. One is 18" and one is 12". My exhaust system is still very loud. Remenber I had install a lot of exhaust systems in different cars before. I know what a loud exhaust system is. May be, I should put back the factory exhaust and put an E-Cut out.

 

I have a 3" straight through Apex'i WS2 with a 26" resonator, 3" kteller piping and a carsound cat. And it's not that loud, it's extremely deep sounding.

Are you running a cat kabaroo?
