2.5" on b18b1... anyway to keep it quiet if its N/A?
I have a 1995 del sol that was previously turbo sohc.. it was fitted with 2.5" piping for better flow for the turbo.
Recently I swapped in a b18b1 and have just used the stock exhaust manifold to the straight 2.5" piping.. It had a 3aracing autozone special chrome muffler on it before that didn't sound bad turbo'd.. now it sounds horrible..
I took it to the exhaust shop and my fiances dad gave me a 2.5" oval style muffler.. that helped a bit, but now it sounds like a tin can in a bike tire above 3000rpms... It had this problem previously, but was louder..
Will a 2.5" aftermarket cat and long resonator make the exhaust useable, or should I just give up, save up, and get 2.25" complete exhaust, or something smaller?
I really want to be able to drive my car without feeling like im being offensive to other drivers..
Cliff Notes: When I step on the gas, the sound is the equivalent of sticking my head out of the targa top and cussing at all the cars around me... Rice!

Re: (NINJASPY)
alright.. my fiances father can't get a resonator until tuesday, and Im not sure on the price.. anyone know a good place to buy a 2.5" resonator for a good price? He was telling me that I could but a glasspack in place and it would work as well, but I have heard that these things wear out pretty quickly.. someone give me their ideas on that...

Re: (90civichb)
I heard the same thing about glass packs. They make add ins for the exhaust to control the tone, it works like a throttle body(with a butterfly), I can't think of the name right now. But that should help with tone and flow. The cat/resonator is the best though

errr,
cats make a large difference in sound.
you need a cat.
gnarly raspiness is your companion till you get a cat of some sort.
or at least replace it with another resonator.
i'm going to try one of those ebay style hiflo cats(basically a resonated test pipe).

this guy has no clue about what hes talking about
put a good stock cat on. that will be the best mod. sometimes u can pick them up at local shops for 20 or 30bucks
