i am running a tanabe super medallion racing with a high flow cat and its way too loud. i cant drive for more than 2 miles without my ears bleeding. would a stock sh axelback bolt up to the tanabe? if so, how much power do u think i would lose?

 

hmm........just add a resonator - or change the muffler

Does it give off that high-pitched, flatulence sound?

 

dont get me wrong, the exhuast sounds incredible. its deafening at around 4k, so imagine what its like hitting vtec and going to redline. i wish i could keep it, but it seems to attract the wrong kind of attention, which is pretty bad in northern va. the problem with changing just the muffler is that the tanabe has an angle right before the muffler, so some fabrication would be necessary for another muffler to be put on. i would also consider keeping the tanabe for track days, so i dont wanna cut the piping.

i just think a stock axel back would be very discreet.

add one or two resonators

it'll definately do the trick

 

Do you have the SMH exhaust?

 

the hyper is the quiet one, i have the racing...

 

Like the kingpin said go to an exhaust shop and have them weld in a resonator. That will quiet things down and you won't loose any power.
