i got a 4-2-1 header,
a cat
and the same brand catback

will i pass emissions?
i left the silencer on, think ill pass for the muffler?
i think most others i hear are a lot louder but its still too loud for me
sound is almost more important that performance
if i change, what's a nice quiet "performance" muffler?
i heard magnaflow is good.

thanks for any replies

what year car? because if its 96 or newer, you need to be obd2.

 

Magnaflow belongs on Camaros IMO.

For a nice sound how much are you looking to spend?

 

As long as you have the stock sensors and a legal cat you will be fine

 

what inspection are you trying to pass first of all. if it is smog well it doesnt matter about the sound.

 

i need to pass both tests.
i have no clue if the cat is legal.
looking to spend like $90 i guess at most depending on how good of one i can get.
ill get one used if i can find it
oh and i am 94 lx

 

bump?

im looking for people with who have gone through
inspection troubles (or not) with this type of setup.

 

what kind of header do u have? It has to be carbed in order to pass visual. Do you have a high flow cat on or a test pipe?

 

it is a high flow cat.
what's a carbed header

Then you have never hears a Magnaflow oval style muffler on a honda then. Best sounding exhaust I have ever heard on a honda. Oh and they are relatively cheap too.

 

are they quiet-ish?
researched the carb thing..
they crack down on that in NJ?

CARB = california air resource board = comittee in charge of smog related issues for the dmv.

 

oh nvm, i thought u were in cali, ur good then.

 

im going with a magnalow cause that's the only advice i got
anyone recommend something else?

 

go to a tast and free retest if u fail u can go back for free..... i did this and failed emitions.... then the guy told me that all i had to do was install an extra cat any where in the exhaust line and my emissions will go to almost zero(by the way i failed with like 700 to 800 and the most was like 200)....... well i went paid 70 bucks for a magna flow cat they took of the resignator and replaced it with the cat....... and right after i had it installed i took it for the retest and passed with like 50 to 70 and i still had a aftermarket exhaust hooked up.... try it out in your budget

 

i had an aftermarket muffler but you need the bay to be stock i think or atleast something that is carbed approved like the intake in order to pass smog

 

carb = california air rescue ***** or something.
i have doubt that Nj follows that but it's possible
thinking about painting header black
inspection is due dec. they kicked me out cause i went to early

if i need a 2nd cat i got no problem with that
i need to get rid of this god awful muffler
the silencer makes it buzz only during moderate acceleration
w/o it i go deaf

 

is that a resonator on that system?
if i replace that with a "real" resonator would that make a differnece
is a cat quiter then a simple resonator

 

a resanator only quites sound but if u have an aftermarket exhaust its just dead weight

 

so getting a real resonator to repalce it would be a good idea?
