Alright, I currently have a magnaflo muffler runing off of 2.5" custom headback piping with a res and hi-flow cat. In the car it sounds great, but the other day my buddy drove the car and I got to hear what it really sounds like It's got the exact sound that I was trying to avoid! The ricey raspy sound..you know what I mean So I did some calling around and searching, and found that I can get teh apex'i ws muffler for $223 CAN plus shipping or, I can get the dynomax for $85 plus tax (which works out to about $100) The Apex'i obviously looks a LOT better, but what about sound? Anyone have experience with both mufflers?

 

I have the Ws2 and it sounds nice and quiet but on WOT it sounds similar to a G35..

 

World Sport all the way.

Mine sounds amazing.

 

really eh? hmm, do you guys have any sound clips of one? or does anyone? also, how loud is this compared to the rsr exmag?

 

WS2 here. Very nice!

I was told that RSR is the most quiet. But, that's ~$100 extra.

yea, the rsr will be too quiet...that's why I'm asking so the ws is louder eh?

 

I had a worldsport on my last two cars and loved it. I recently went the cheaper route and bought a Dynomax super turbo muffler for my itr swapped del sol and love it. It's not straight through but I dynoed 195/126 with it, so it's not too restrictive.

Here's a cutout of it. It's basically 3 resonated mufflers in a oval case.


You can buy it for around $30 at Advance Auto or Pep Boys. They are prone to rusting out but I painted mine black, so it should last a little longer. If it does i'll spend another $30 and get another one.

 

ive heard good things from borla...

yea, my buddy had a borla on his subaru...but I have no idea what that would have sounded like on a honda just cuz they have boxter engines and are bigger.

 

I had a catback apexi WS on my previous LS hatch. It sounded so ******* mean, cabin & outside. Cruises about as loud as a tired OEM system, but WOT it howls along with the intake perfectly. I couldn't hear any raspiness with it. My only complaint was that it didn't fit all that well, but I did have all the LS exhaust on it previously.

Muffler looked great, very shiney yet tucked in very well.

 

well, from what I've been reading....i think that it might just be too quiet...

I dont know I wish I knew someone that had it locally here. But I'm also considering a greddy evo and sp...

 

remember your magnaflow is a straight thru design while the ws is not so u will be losing some power

oh good call...I forgot about that!

 

just get a Apexi ws and putt an exhaust cut out in between the header and b pipe for when u race. thats what im doin..

 

umm...so your saying that I should run it off the headers when I race???

 

I got the Apexi WS on my hatch for about 2 years now. Sounds good, but like someone mentioned before. It fit like crap

There is no room for my sway bar (it occasionally hits) and the resonator is big and hangs too low. I tried raising it with shorter rubber hangers, but the moment I raise it up, it hits something else.

My friend's WS on the prelude fit a heck of a lot better, so it might be just the civic hatches.

 

WS does have a lot of fitment issues, but i think that's hit or miss. over all sounds pretty damn good. i've had one on my gf's car for about 3-4 yrs now and mid-pipe is starting to get some small rust holes that contribute to a louder/raspy sound. still bearable though. at WOT... i don't know about sounding like a G35, but if you have dohc vtec, that's all you will hear.

 

My Magnaflow on my EG8 sounds nice...not raspy at all

 

I use world sport mufflers on custom bent pipe

 

dynomax is absolute garbage, run away

 

seriously, why would you even compare the WS to some garbage? wth is dynomax anyways?
