3" Muffler question
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.

Re: 3" Muffler question (ih8jdm)
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.

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.

Re: (Timmay)
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?
