Default 04 RSX-S or type-r muffler

I've searched but i can't find a definite answer on which would be better. I can get both for the same price.

my setup:
JDM b18c
2-1/4 custom pipes, Cat, resonator, 4-1 header.

which one will have more flow and sound better (Better as in quite)

thnx

between those 2 id take he 200 hp 2.0l over the 1.8... for some reason it seems like the rsx one would flow better... but if i had a choice id get a 05 06 type s or a dc5-R muffler

My buddy has an 05 type s muffler on his ek coupe and it looks awesome. Quiet too, just enough loudness when he gets on it.

hmmm, interesting, i hadnt thought of putting an OEM muffler back on to my car, but it sounds like a good idea. hmm... how much do they cost anyway? (runs to do a search) Can you fit a sway on there with that muffler? sorry to thread jack

From 05-06 the Type S got a muffler similar to that of the JDM DC5R... not to mention the tip on the 05 06 and R look WAY better and sound quiet as stock and have a nice lil growl at higher RPMs

heres a link of some pics i found n posted https://honda-tech.com/zero...ge=71
if u look at the type r it has a lil valve so the gases can bypass all the chambers and go straight through which probably equals to way better flow and the 05 06 muffler has a similar design but has to go through at least 2 chambers no matter what... id think either would be a huge upgrade from stock. Im also gonna try to find a good clip of a dc5-r so you can get an idea of how that muffler really sounds, ive heard one and it's awesome!

nah just get a used type s exhaust on craigslist. people that ugprade their exhausts sell their stock for cheap. ive seen itr and rsx s exhausts go for like $50 cuz they just wanna get rid of it. no need if they upgrade. most are low mileage too
