Example



They are pretty expensive. So I want to make sure I don't waste $$$.

Tell me the good, bad, and ugly. I know nothing. There are those "Universal," so they should be universal, right?

I have a Magnaflow 14815 muffler.

TIA

 

yes they work, but it makes your muffler look really ugly

 

I like mine. It came with my RS*R GTII. I only use it for long trips and if I want to have a conversation with whoever I'm driving with.

 

Do you guys think if I was to weld a restrictive plate in the inlet of the muffler to cut it down by 1/4 or 1/2 of an inch it would be the same as a silencer? Like a permanet silencer?

The only thing is it's on the inlet, where as the silencer you have is on the outlet.

 

you might create a whistle

 

They work drew. I'd say my car is probably 40% quieter with one in...of course I don't have any hard numbers but the difference is noticable.

 

No, because air is only being blocked not controlled and it will then force more air out through a smaller hole making your car sound worse. You have to have a certain amount of air pressure existing inside of your muffler or pipe to silence itself, acting as plain muffler, using sound and pressure to resist itself. All you really need is a petruding pipe and one face shield to control air pressure. Thus it will create a mirror sound wave to cancel out the existing sound

Jesus man, you need to get off Honda-Tech and design a car that runs on water vapor.

I understand what you are saying, but I have a hard time imagining the "petruding pipe and one face shield to control air pressure" part.

Please explain.

 

Ya it will be quieter, but u will feel some resistance while driving with it on.

 

i wouuld lik 2 buy a Hamdumbger

 

The above picture, for example. The silencer has a hole on the rim lip. That is so it's screwed lock it on the muffler. Are all silencers held in my a screw? Or does some use pressure as you push it in?

 

Theres a screw going through the muffler tip holding the silencer in.
