I have a b16 on my 91 civic wagon. now what the question: would it make a power difference if I was to install a k20 muffler off of a new ep3 Si? would it make a big difference in the restriction since the muffler is intended for a 2.0?

 

i think that ep3 muffler would help and stay quiet. since the old stock wagon is so old in design versus the newer cars. I would see a difference.

 

thats what im looking for, nice and quiet.

 

what about performance wise? will it hurt me?

 

I think it won't hurt you but as for a gain in performance maybe. depends on how weak the old system was or restrictive.

 

right now i have a magnaflow catback exhaust but its too loud for me. im thinking about using the catback piping and just swapping the muffler

so going from a performance exhaust to a stock one would hurt? the older exhaust was less restrictive right?

 

ok I did not see that post of you having the magnaflow. still the ep3 muffler might still be ok or make the same as the magnaflow as those mufflers are for newer model cars. if you want go quiet or tone it down try a superturbo and a resonator if you don't have a resonator.

 

well i have a resonator but im not sure of the size of it.. so im taking it as the ep muffler wouldnt change the noise level?

 

no the ep3 would make the car quieter but as to perormance over the magnaflow hard to say unless you take the stab and do it or dyno it to compare.

 

thank you guys so mouch for the input

 

 

all good
