alrriiight, i've decided to go with RMF header, carsound cat, and custom exhaust from a local muffler shop. im going to go 2.5", but im not what muffler will sound good, i want a nice deep tone, maybe like one of the tanabe mufflers? not sure, which ones do you guys know that sound good?

 

Thermal SS
I've had a couple & they have a good deep tone & fairly quiet in the lower rpm's.

alright cool, what about any HKS mufflers or Tanabe?

 

Not too familiar with either of those. I think the Tanabe is one of the loudest catbacks out there but I don't know how their individual mufflers are.

 

es muffler wit 2.5 straight, sound really nice, except higher rpm is kinda loud

 

yes i just put 2.25 piping with a es muffler on my prelude and its nice but loud once u hit high rpms.

whats an es muffler? nobody knows about any apexi, tanabe or HKS mufflers?

 

es muffler is juss another name, but they make it look stock, it very helpful if ur area is full of cops and give u nice deep tone, hks or other juss brand name to me, never try them so cant really say much bout them

 

es muffler.....

Alrigght, I guess ill look into it, about how much does this muffler run?

 

I did close to the same set-up as you but I used a magnaflow muffler. You can have it installed and use a resonator and it will give you a nice deep tone.

yeah i wondered what the magnaflow will sound like, do you know what it sounds like without a resonator?

Without the resonator it's loud. I don't have a resonator on and sometimes it just gets annoying listening to my exhaust and having to turn the radio up in order not to hear it. I have the race series on my car though so I don't know if the street series changes the sound much or not.

 

Oh yeah and you will probably have that gurggle noise after installing that header and exhaust just to let you know. Not a big deal just happens when slowing down sometimes.

 

I'd get a titanium muffler... they look sweet in my opinion, plus they are a tad bit lighter than steel ones.

 

i remember that the guy install my muffler said that the es muffler sound juss like the magnaflow, iono how it sound like wit the resonator, i heard it reduce the loudness, but yea, it really annoyin sometime wen u crusin at higher rpm, &gt;4000rpm....silencer would be best but it restrict ur airflow

haha im lost, im not sure what to do, i went to ARD a place by where i live and they said the tanabe hyper muffler is 200 and then to do the exhaust piping is 170 so im thinking i should just get a catback for like 500 or something like that.

 

hahaha, 500, i think thats kinda too much for me...custome pipe wit a muffler is cheaper n the performance might be better

damn but im not sure about the muffler, where can i get an es muffler, i want one of those if i can get one

 

online shop???lol, im sure ur high performance shop can order one... i noe one in garden grove, about 150miles from ur area hahaha, but that place is gay, they sell expensive shiet, it run around 100-120 i think, go around and check out different type and different opinion, to me, es is pretty deep, but kinda loud at higher rpm

yeah its not really a high performance shop hahah theres nothing around here, ill google it real quick, they've never heard of it. hahah i asked them.

 

inlinefour.com is one place they sell es mufflers.

 

When you look at different cat-back exhausts (Greddy, Apexi, Tanabe,etc etc), and they are the same diameter, what is the difference other than the muffler? Is it just the material of the piping?

 

not really any differences...unless your buying stainless or ti over mild steel
however, some are routed differently aka rsr exhausts

anyway if you want deep i like the thermal sound-my friend has one and ive always liked it

the only apexi muff for separate sale is the n1=muy raspy, but i also like it, its just LOUD

the magnaflow is poop it sounds like a bee buzzing very loudly and annoying...there was one on my car when i bought it...believe me it WAS the FIRST thing to go
