someone told me that putting a glass pack behind the cat on a 1.5 crx would sound lower and deeper than the si's stock motor, is this true?

 

dont put nuthing i dont have anything

 

Resonator between ur catalytic converter and muffler will make the sound deeper (not quieter) at a lower resonance.

The longer the resonator the better. Go for the good ones, not the cheaply made ones.

thankyou
btw im not going for the quiet note, i plan on it being very loud but mostly deep. plus the laws in texas are not enforced as much in some parts

can a blown out cat change the tone of the exhaust? cause either my resonator is blown out ot high flow cat is..steel wool or wahtever it is is on my exhaust tip....

 

Yoooooo read this article guys. Cmon now =\

How a Resonator works

It's amazing what you can find out about stuff online!

i was asking because i have a resonator and a high flow cat. either my resonator blew out or my cat. if my cat blew out(packing) could that change the tone is what i was asking....im just to lazy to unbolt the cat to see if thats it

 

your cat really doesnt have the fiberglass ****, its mostly made of ceramics with a steel wool outer covering to cut down vibrations and hold the ceramic snug. The res. usually is completely packed full so thats prolly where its coming from. You will notice a louder tone and possibly more raspy than before. how long has your resonator been on? they tend to blow out and get louder in a few weeks.

 

man to put it as simple as possible..if you have inspection connections like i do, CUT the damn CC off and go with a 2 1/2 or 3" straight pipe all the way to the *** end of the car. I did it and also added a Flowmaster 60 series for imports. the sound is way deep while driving regularly and extremely intimidating at high speeds. Plus it frees up horsepower.

 

yea steel wool is what is covering my exhaust from tip to as far as i can reach inside. i have had this resonator (invidia) for about 8 months.....the cat cheap **** off ebay straight through basically a test pipe. its fine below 3k but once i get higher and heavier on the gas it gets super super raspy ewww...unlike before where its deep all the way to 7k..

 

Im running a gutted cat and a cherry bomb resonator, used to have the rest of the piping and a flowmaster 3" setup but that got ripped off during a bottom out on a large curb, never put it back on

Sounds awesome but everyone says they can hear me for blocks, cant talk inside the car, ****** loud
