exhaust - resonator
i was wondering.. currently.. my exhaust set up is like this.. headers.. cat.. 2.25" piping w/ aftermarket (ultraflo i believe)muffler..
now.. it sounds prety damn ricey.. really loud.. and kinda med-high pitched.. basically your bee in a can sound.. would adding a resonator bring the volume down quite a bit?? and also.. would it change the tone of the sound coming out? cuz mine is really ugly sounding.. id prefer a much quieter lower sound
also.. when buying a resonator .. wut shoudl i look for? can i just buy any resonator for a civic si? or any resonator at all?
is it better to buy used or new??
thanks guys

Re: exhaust - resonator (EG_Si)
yes a resonator should take out the bee sound and it will quiten it down a bit. not sure on brands or anything. never bought a resonator by itself. a muffler shop has them though

will it reduce the volume of my muffler by a lot.. or just a little?

Re: exhaust - resonator (zzZZzzleeperCX)
my setup on my old hatch was like this.... header, no cat..resonator turned catch way, 2 1/4 pipe, resonator turned flow way, muffler. It was a decently throaty sound. I think if you got a resonator and turned it the flow way you would be happy. Just go to a good muffler shop and say you want a resonator and they'll show you sizes. I think mine were around 18 inches long, and they can be turned one of two ways, the catch way, which acts more like a cat and restricts the flow a little, then the flow way, which like it says, flows more but still tones the exhaust down. Thats just my 2 cents though, maybe that was some help
