I bought a magnaflow magnapack stainless steel today. 2.25 inlet 2.25 outlet. I was just wondering if this will quiet down my turbo n1 muffler with 2.25 inch piping..

that's the one

do you think using that and my stock honda resonator would make the n1 quiet enough?

bump, some ones gotta know

Yes, using the Magnaflow resonator will quiet your exhaust down alot.. it will take away the tin-can sound and make it sound deeper..

Si Erik

what about the idea of using both that magnaflow resonator and the stock one..I want the n1 to be as quiet as possible, and I know that is hard becuase n1 is one of the loudest exhausts...

the stock one is very restrictive.. if you want to make it quiet, just get 24" resonator.. i have the 18" resonator on my car...

I don't care if it's loud I just don't want it too loud like alex's car

B_CRUZ!

buy another resonator if it will fit under there or just buy 1 long one. The longer the resonator, the deeper/quieter it will be.

i was thinking on a magnaflow muff and a resonator with 2.5 custom piping... is that still loud??

whats the difference between the ES muff and the mag or dynoflow ones? from that qoute up there, i get the idea that ES muff will equal the sound dB of a magna/dynoflow/N1/whatever + resonator combo

o yea, i m considering magnaflow muffler because they are cheaper than a ES.

htownteg

do resonators affect performance? yes, no, or very little that it doesnt matter having one or not?

CivicEKCP

where can you purchase a resonator online? anyone know of a good site with decent prices?

This is your warning. Read the new rules. "search yo!" without posting a helpful link is worth -1%.

ok guys so I got my n1 muffler with 2.25 mendrel piping and the magnaflow magnapack resonator and let me tell you it sounds ****** sweet..It's not loud at all, real deep and throaty, not buzzy. all in all I am really satisfied with it and would highly recommend this set up!

turbow

where did you get the mandrel bent piping at? I'm looking to do a full system, on my 91 si, but haven't found any shops around me that are equiped to do this type of work.

frostcivic

can you post a soundclip?

one of you driving inside the car?

JinDIESEL

the best setup wud be a 2.5" magnaflow cat, custom 2.5" piping, and then a magnaflow 2.25" magnaflow muffler

i have an old thermal cat back and i replaced the thermal resonator with the magnaflow 18" 2.25 res and my cat is punched out and my car sounds perfect very very deep sounding no tin can noise... if i wanted to i could drive it and no one would know i had an exhaust on it at all..

jg

Keeping the cat. in the system will quiet the car down immensely. If you plan to remove it, I would recommend either a hi-flow cat or a bullet muffler/resonator in the test pipe. I have a hi-compression b20vtec with a 2.5" system with a 22" Magnaflow resonator, a offset in/center out Magnaflow oval muffler(perforated core, but runs clean through on an angle), and i've made a 2.5" test pipe with a Dynomax Buller muffler/resonator in it. The car sounds great, but, as with anything without the cat, it is fairly loud.
Also, keep in mind the size of the header you use and diameter of the exhaust piping is a factor in how loud the car will sound.
