Will that setup be loud or should i get a cat installed???

 

i gotta greddy cat back and i dont have a cat....its jus straight pipe and its loud as hell...im lookin for a cat myself.....if you know anybody that gots one sittin around for a 97 ex let me know....

 

anybody have or herd and es oval

 

86 views and nobody can say one thing? Somebody has to have herd it before.

 

i have a gsr motor with 2.25 piping and resonator, and its not to loud at all...
i think you can even get away with running bigger piping... i love the sound and looks
of the exhaust...

 

OH my someone replyed. What knid of res do you have

 

the es oval is not too loud at all.... IMO it sounds and looks awesome, especially when painted flat black... looks tite.

 

i dont know of anyone running it with a d16z6 but SIINSI is running the oval es with 2 1/2 piping all the way back. you may want to IM him and ask.

 

i got the ES oval muff...with 2.25 piping...isnt loud at all......works great with the stock or random cat. converter

 

my es isnt loud. i love it.. 2 and 1/4 piping

 

garagespecial,

I checked the site http://www.es-sports.com, which muffler do you have?

S-series: part number ES103BD (one with nice tip)
or
S-series: part number ES721UV (one with stock looking tip)?

 

just stay with stock piping and add an exhaust, it will sound good. i have stock piping with the dual DTM muffler, it sound perfect.

 

i dont know if you seen the stock piping on a civic but it sucks.....really small in diameter and it look so restricted.....may sound good but thats about it.......

 

for NA motors..no more that 2 1/4 inch piping for modest mods and SC...they like a little restriction...up to 3 inch for turbo...bigger is not always better

 

i'm also thinking about an es oval muffler and 2.25 custom piping. i want a quiet but flowing exhaust. does anyone have a recomendation whether i should use a resonator, and if so, what size?

 

i wouldnt think so..but think ahead..are u going to do anything else?..and get a cat. and resonator..or ur going to hear alot of noise under the floor boards

 

engine wise, i presently have a cai, but want to go for exhaust next, then header, then possibly a cam, ignition. pretty modest stuff. no f/i or anything. should i use a resonator to keep the sound down with those future mods in mind? i plan to keep my cat as well. i want to keep it stealthy.

just try the muffler first..and if its still too loud , then consider a 12 " resonator..ive got 2 1/4 inch piping with resonator..think im going to try the 24 " resonator to quiet the exhaust more..even the speed shop said my exhaust is too loud

 

deepnite, what type of muffler do you have? do you have a 12" resonator on the exhaust now?
