Just get a Magnaflow, or a flowmaster. Or a s2000 exhuast.

It's not only the muffler that makes it sound good. The resonator makes quite a difference.

Quiet mufflers don't make power, sorry.

Anything straight through

i dont see how you threw in s2000 within those groups.


s2000 is pretty restrictive i have that right now i think he's looking for something more straight through.

I looked around awhile and I kept hearing borla was the quietest. Throw on 2 resonators and you should be darn quiet.

I'm doing this setup soon and will get back with just how quiet it is. Of course I have a turbo and that acts as a sorta muffler itself.

Stock RSX-S canister and 2.25 inch piping should be a nice performance kick and still sound mellow as poo.

I've never used one, but I've heard that ES mufflers are nice. They are supposed to look stock and be quiet as well.

Well I disagree.........I have a friend with a Integra Type-R and he went to the dyno to do some adj for other ****, and one thing he thought was how restrictive his stock muffler actually is..... after he ran and got his **** adj he removed the stock can and only rec a .08 horsepower gain.which means NO RESTRICTION.....and we all know that the stock **** is the quietest...I have a CTR muffler for my B16 JDM SIRII motor with the Intgera Type-R B-pipe....... fits like a glove and guess what more power LESS RESTRICTIVE and what... what... ohh quiet.

Suck on that tailpipe..

go with an ES muffler, but they are ALWAYS on back order and are hard to find! my cousin runs them on his rebuilt b18, tubo'd and really beefed up hatch. No sound unless you are at high rpm's.

magna flow are also great too!

itr stock exhaust is much better than an ek stock exhaust. apples to oranges buddy. i stick with my e-cut out and stock exhaust though. you don't need the extra power all the time, so be quiet when you're not on it, and loud as f*** when you are.

I have one on. It's pretty quiet i guess at idle, but it seems loud to me when moving, but it's also catless, that's how I got the car.

Stock exhaust system and you expect to gain tons of hp by removing the muffler? That's like saying by removing the resonator from a stock intake and expect to gain some good hp.
