i personally have a 1993 del sol with a b18c1 swap though. i have a Yonaka Motorsports full cat-back exhaust system. It goes for like $379.00. It's sounds pretty good. If you wanna know exactly what it sounds like, let me know, and i'll send you a sound clip of idle, rev, and drive. let me know if your interested, i'll send them right over.

I managed to get it to fit on my 00 hatch. I've had people tell me that in normal driving it has a g35-esque tone. It's raspy on WOT, but i plan on getting a resonator soon.

Take a look in the thread. All you do is post your link to your vid, and you've helped add another exhaust to reference.

Remember it will sound a little different for each application. I've got a stock header/cat and some ebay 2.25" piping.

That was my plan as well.

I'll probably post up pics / sound clips when I get mine on, I wonder how much different it'll sound on an EM1.

Default Re: New muffler (wiZCo)

i have a question. if i have a yonaka motorsports full cat-back exhaust system, can i still replace the end muffler with a es oval? i love the way they sound and personally, my cat-back is too loud for my taste, i didn't put it on, the guy before me did. so, would changing the muffler have anything to do with the sound? or would i have to get rid of all the piping and stuff up to the cat?

any help is apprecieted

replacing the muffler/resonator will greatly effect the exhaust tone.

Throw a flex reso on it and it will calm down the sound quiet a bit.
