I was thinkin of gettin straight pipe with itr muffler ...or keep stock cat and put itr muffler...

thanx..this is goin on a 99 hatchback with a jdm itr swap..so what do yall think?

Mr.EM1_EK

all depends on how loud you want it to be.

c-townekhatch

well i dont kno if its goin to be loud loud lol..but i want it 2 sound quite and nice ..i was thinkin since its a stock muffler and with straight pipe it would still sound quite..what do u think?

Mr.EM1_EK

well without the cat you will hear it but it should not be to loud. is your cat bad or something?

c-townekhatch

yea cat is takin a dump i think ..ima be doin this in the weekend and just wanted yall opinion and input..so far you the only 1 haha and thanks man

Mr.EM1_EK

well no prob, but since the cat is bad i would just go ahead and slap the straight pipe on.

hell you might as well just dump it out the sides, or something. becuase your car will likely find itself loving the limpmode setting, from goofing around with your exshaust resistance like that. get a new cat, and get a better muffler if you want to change your sound.

it wont go into limp from exhuast resistence.....................................if your cat is clogged then you will gain a huge gain in horsepower, itll be pretty loud, i had a glasspack and muffler striahgt through with no resanots or anything on a turbo motor it was pretty loud,

but keep in mid the turbo is a resantor in its self,

and backpressure is a myth so none of this you need backpressure or your rings will explode, yopur head will rip off the block and walk down the street and start eating people, type **** please people

mr_nemesis2003

wouldn't it sound raspy of there are no types of baffles in the exhaust. I've seen a couple people using their stock exhaust w/ no resonator and they sound bad. Just my 2 cents.

ywsek

imo, keep the cat, its purpose is to convert NOx and CO to N2 and CO2, not a restriction to noise level. i say just put on the itr exhuast.

I have header, 2.5 inch stainless piping to a fart can and its loud as hell. I mainly race this car so it "looks" stock. Mine was custom fitted/welded though.
No cat and only a muffler will cause a raspy sound. You might as well run a cat and side exit.

If I were to drive this car on the roads I would opt for an 18" resonator and a better muffler.

We don't need cats here and there are way bigger problems in the earth than my 4 cyl honda with no cat.

Team RS2

i live in an area where modded trucks are the ****, you know like the 3500 disels

they run those power chips, no exhuast, bigger turbos and just spit out black smoke worst thing is they are everywhere, yet they crack down on honda cars with integra swaps?

bmoua

doesn't TX have carb laws? i usually hear some TX peeps complain about getting pulled over for there loud exhaust etc...etc...

c-townekhatch

ok well i have 4-1 headers thats bout it ..i wanted this exhaust cuz it looks good too lol..i have apex i full catback but i want the stock look plus i want it 2 be quite...so should i just slap the itr muffler on and leave cat?

c-townekhatch

and yea people get pulled over for loud exhausts and **** ..but where i live cops are 2 retarded to kno if we have a cat or not lol

Do yourself a favor and replace the cat and slap the ITR muffler on there, but dont freak out when your exhaust starts to make that weird "rattling" sound because of the baffles in the exhaust and a larger than stock diameter pipe.

well i have jdm type r head 4-1 3" straight pipes to a magniflow muffler not to loud i put a backpressure gauge on it and its 0.02 off which is not bad at all and it sounds like vtec is always on i think it sounds awsome

c-townekhatch

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, what sounds good to somebody can sound like **** to somebody else.

****, don't believe me? Find somebody with a mustang and ask 'em how good ur car sounds.
