ok guys im runnin a d16z6 bolt ons, hi flo cat, and then 2.25" ALL the wya back no resonator to a cheap *** OBX muffler greddy evo lookalike. its loud as ****. Its super raspy bumblebee lawnmower fart can ricey bwahhhh u can think of. I use to have a resonator on it but it was leaking so i put a pipe to where it was. Now the question is, should i get another resonator or a new muffler? Which owuld help keep the noise down more? I was thinkin of gettin a magnaflow muffler or magnaflow resonator both are the same price aorund 70-100. Thats all i have so getting both is not an option. thanks in advance guys help a guy keep the rice noise down

 

if you want to get rid of that raspy noise get a resonator

 

new muffler

 

I'm personally a fan of 22 inch resonators going into a Magnaflow oval muffler. Quiet enough to satisfy most people (including the police), plus it looks virtually stock.

Yep, a resonator will not only get rid of the raspiness but also quiet the volume. In fact, any muffler can sound like **** ... just depends on the setup. I used to have an OBX muffler on A'PEXi N1 piping, and it actually sounded LESS raspy than the N1 muffler it replaced. A little deeper, too, but just as loud. A resonator will definitely help you out in terms of tone and loudness.

 

A silencer has been able to quiet down my muffler to a tolerable noise level.

 

See if a muffler shop can get ya a resonator, or try kteller.com

 

my set up include a magnaflow catback, which consists of JDM h22 header to a custom 3 in collector, 2.5 in carsound cat, 2.5 mandral bent catback piping, 2.5 magnaflow resonator, and 2.5 straight through muffler.

it is LOUD and bumble bee ricey. and just recieved a ITR muffler in the mail, i will have it installed this weekend maybe. hopefully that will quiet it down, and give the car a deeper tone.

 

im thinkin about buyin that "cherry bomb glasspack turbo muffler" from autozone for 24.99 and usin that as a resonator...what u guys think?

 

i have heard of that idea. i may do that also, in addition to the ITR muffler. so i will be running 2 resonators, lol. thats how badly i want my car to be quieter.

Get the longest one that will fit on your car and then tell me how it sounds, I'm thinking of doing the same thing.

 

new muffler AND resonator(s).

 

find a used rensenator from a si or from a accord or sumthin... any thin would make it better... also the high flow cat gives it that empty can sound so putin a oe one on would help too
