hey guys, i was wondering if you spoon n1 owners run a resonator ? i just got mine in and i dont know if i wanna run a resonator or just a full straight pipe...its a eg with b16a, what do you guys think???

 

The Spoon N1 is already loud with all the stock resonators on the oem piping. It'll be THAT much louder if you upgrade your b-pipe to a bigger diameter and not run a resonator.

IMO you should find a quality resonator, nothing cheap because it'll rattle.

BTW. Project spoogen has already been done.

 

no resonator = what?...what?...i'm sorry...I can't he...what?...what was that?....h..h..he..hello?...what????......VERY LOUD!! What b-pipe will you be using?

 

i have all stock piping right now, my car is in the shop getting the motor swap, i got the axle back spoon n1 waiting to go on...i dont know what size piping to use....what size you think i should use? and you think i should keep my stock cat or run a straight pipe?

 

i feel your pain bro..i have the 4-1 jdm header, and highflow cat...and spoon n1...im gonna use a 2.5' b pipe w/ no res. and i can tell you now..i might have to drive with ear plugs..lol...

 

well, obviously you dont live in california...where youd get pulled over every 5 miles...i wish we could get away with **** like that here...id be running a 2.5 straight pipe with some free flowing muff...

 

so you think i could just run like 2.5 piping all the way with no cat?? would that affect the sound at all??

 

It will be buzzy. 2.5" is just right for a N/A setup.

 

No to break into your thread, but how loud do you think 2.5" piping with test pipe, resonator and, es muffler will be???

 

2.5" is pretty huge as well... I don't understand why honda ppl feel the need for enormous exhausts on street cars. I don't even run 2.5" on my turbo car

 

I'm a proponent of using cats (I want my kids to still be able to breathe when I'm dead), so since you're getting custom piping made, I'd suggest a hi-flow cat and custom piping w/ a 22" long 4" round magnaflow resonator. That'll help keep things quiet and still have good flow. The piping on the spoon n1 is only 60mm. You'll have a restriction going from your b-pipe to spoon n1 connecting pipe that'll cause turbulance (larger to smaller sudden changes cause turbulence). I'd rather go just 2.25" cat and custom piping. a better match for the spoon n1. it's great if you want 2.5" piping, but what good will that be if your muffler is still 60mm?...it's basically like having a full 60mm system all the way back. A test pipe w/ no resonator will be LOUD!!!!!!!!

 

Big question.....................WHY?

So the whole city can hear you coming?

Leave it alone, Spoon made it that way so it should be good enough for you on the street.

 

ok so you guys are saying do 2.25 piping, keep my cat or get a high-flow cat, then do or dont get a resonator?? i dont want my **** to sound like a lawnmower, but i hear the spoon n1's sound badass, they are just real loud....so my question is, resonator or no resonator, for a clean sounding honda with spoon n1
