i have a question for you guys:

Im probably going to be taking my ek hatchback to the muffler shop next week to get some custom piping done and i wanted to know what would be best....

2.25'' straight cat-back piping w/o resonator, with a spoon n1 angled n' welded
or
2.5'' straight cat-back piping w/o resonator, with a spoon n1 angled n' welded.
or
have a resonator added too any of the above choices? any help would be appreciated. Im tryin not to get that ricey sound w/ the custom piping, just more of the beefy deep tone w/ better performance!

ITS FOR MY B20VTEC

 

bump,want to know the same thing also!

 

yes any info would help!

 

anyone know anyone that has cut the piping on the spoon n1 then rewelded a straight pipe to it? if so...does it sound any different?

 

a straight pipe should make it louder

 

i was thinking that too...but i just wanted to see if anyone has done it yet?

 

to me if you want it quiet or loud ricey or not ricey,
just go with the 2.5" piping........YOU CANT GO WRONG WITH IT!!

it will definitely help you out on your times....esspecialllyy on all motor type-R's

 

yea this is for my all motor b20vtec...

 

on my eg hb i did 2.5 straight pipe with a apexi ws muffler on it sonds nice oh i got the piping from kteller
jason

 

yea i was gonna go w/ 2.5 w/o resonator but some ppl say thats too big of piping?

 

Definitely go with a 2.5".

I have a Spoon N1 with 2.5" piping and i decided to change to 2.5" piping that went under the gas tank. I didnt want to destroy an original N1 so i just got a cheap *** muffler for the new pipes. Both of my setup didnt have resonators, and the straight pipe was just a tad bit noisier. Used to be a B16 now its a B20V

 

oh so u never actually put a straight pipe on the spoon n1...u just decided to get something else?

 

i say for your b20vtec 2.5 if it stock, if not than 2.75

 

my buddy club spec II is 2.25" with a 10" resonator and no muffler, now it does have the typical honda bend but from what ive read it has gotten really good gains!

 

stock bottom w/ a built gsr head?

 

anymore help?

 

2.5 no question.

IMO, you shouldn't even consider the 2.25

 

2.5 with a resonator for sure, its sooo old hearing honda's drive by lol, you wont understand how nice it is to have a quite car until you do. my b20vtec runs with full 2.5 inch exhaust built by me, through an 18" resonator, then through the summit turbo muffler, its not a whole lot louder than stock, dont get me wrong, you can definately tell its not stock exhaust but it sounds so much better than the ricey loud *** honda's. No offense if you people have loud cars, I'm just not into it anymore

 

Go with 2.5" piping... That's what I did for my b20vtec, I later installed a Magnum cherry bomb resonator (Its Red) from Advanced Autoparts for only $20 and put it right after my header (no cat), well worth the money, my car is quieter has a great deeper sound to it with no rasp. Without the resonator my car sounded like a pissed off weedwacker

cause there is only resonator. rest of them are str8 pipe

ya 2.5" w/ resonator, w/o resonator you will have very ricy,loud,bottle scrap sound.lol

 

thanks for all your guys help...i'll probably end up goin w/ the 2.5' cat-back with a resonator.

 

Here's a sound clip of my 2.5" exhaust.

I rev'd to 5k.

Yup. The Spoon N1 was already loud with the 2.5", no reso, OEM bends. I figured that if i had the straight pipe on the N1 it would be ridiculously loud.

That was a very loud exhaust, didnt sound too bad, but didnt sound like it hit 5k. Put a resonator on it and it would sound clean

 

u are going to need a resinator if you are running a test pipe. that s hit is loud without it. get 2.5 you'll like the high end
