To all of those who run this setup, how loud is it? Also is there a noticable gain from having a muffler to no muffler?

 

bump I want to know too.
Videos would be nice,
I saw one from this thread:

but there was a background music, a nice one but it cover a little bit the sound of the car

 

Its facking loud....
My car, straight turbo back

I ran that for a few weeks. No cat, no resonator, no muffler. Just straight from the downpipe back. It was definetly loud but it wasn't obnoxiously loud. With the turbo it sounded pretty mean. I eventually added a muffler so it's not as loud now. couldnt tell you hp difference though.

 

is it daily driveable? where as you can pass by a cop and keep it quite or be side by side with a cop at a stop light and take off without causing too much attention?

 

Honestly on my setup it was close to as loud as open dp, but since its behind you ya dont notice quite as much... And its a little raspy(ricey) for my taste. But you do hear the turbo buzzing pretty noticably.

 

im running 3inch straight back with a thermal exhaust and I dont think it's too loud at all.... To me it sounds mean as hell..

 

it's loud. if you drive more than 30min it gets kinda anoying. but i dont have a radio in the car, so that never helps

platinum.

 

my exhasut isnt that loud, its just got *****

 

Anyone with this kind of exhaust + a big resonator ?
Vids or sound clip plz

 

did this on a friends car.

gsr motor, peakboost kit with 3"dp, 3"testpipe and 3" kteller bolt up with 3" straight through magnaflow.

has a nice deep tone, not too loud but not quiet either. kinda about as loud as my greddy evo catback used to be. its definately not high pitched raspy honda fart can sound

 

Just get a good oval Burns muffler...they have good flow and will make a good exhaust note too

 

turbo straight back under the passenger seat is LOUD, but not as loud as open downpipe, My floor vibrated pretty bad. Then it is a little less loud when you dump it after the axle and sounds clean when you throw a magnaflow muffler under there...

I don't have vids, but my z6 had a 3" from turbo to tailpipe. I used an 18" and 24" fiberglass packed resonator on my car, no cat. Sound was roughly in between an apexi WS2 and thermal exhaust. Also quieter than my other civic (stock ex), with some header and a tenzo-r axle-back. The main difference was the abcense of any rasping or that rice-bomb 'blaaaaa, blaaaaaaa' crap. I couldn't hear the turbo *nearly* as much as the open DP (as well as a good 10-20hp decrease), but it was very livable. FYI I drove it ~45mins to/from work each day. I was fine doing that, but the other NA civic game me a headache.

Next time I'm going to get a nice preferated resonator along with a magnaflow. I just did it cheap to gain welding experience - $100 for my complete 3" cheap exhuast vs $200+ for a good pref res & magnaflo.

 

i got a 3dp with 3 inch exhaust straight back and my car is extremely loud. it a really deep sound. everyone likes it becus it doesnt sound like your average honda

 

3" straight back with Apexi N1 canister and it really isn't loud at all. I've ran it open DP before and the difference wasn't earth shattering or anything.

 

I GOT 3 INCH DP TO 3 INCH EXHUAST TO AN APEXI N1 MUFFLER TOO. MY IS CAR EXTREMELY LOUD. NOTHING IS STOCK ON MY CAR MY GSR IS A 2.0 BUT I DONT THING THAT MAKES ANY DIFFERENCE.
