No, im not looking for a cat back.

Just the muffler. Got the pipe from kteller

 

So are you looking for something quieter or louder, cause there are tons of options available.

Not too loud, I dont like the 5Zigen for sure. Thinking about Magnaflow.

 

I think ud be happy with a mugen twinloop or similar copy.

It will probably produce the best sound quality ur looking for

 

es tuning 2.5 comes in either black or polish.

Running a 2.25 with a 22 inch resonator
black one on my car:

personally.. 2.5 inch is way too big..

i had a 2.5 inch custom on my car with 22inch Magnaflow res, carsound cat, and an es tuning muffler like pictured above on my 92 gsr. I lost power due to not enough back pressure, and 2nd, it SOUNDED LIKE ****!!! lol.. I sold the setup 2 weeks later and bought an RS*R ExMag.. now that is the ****!!!! Sounds amazing, performance is top notch!!! and its 2.36 inch piping i think.. or 2.38.. somthing like that..

 

actually i run the 2.25 =P

 

I would look into the magnaflow mufflers, they look great and sound even better.

ES turning ones just look like a muffler shop special to me, looks like ******* in my opinion.

i didnt know mufflers can look like "********"

 

Figuratively speaking. I had no idea you were the Honda-Tech Post Police Officer

 

i think the ES mufflers would look less like anus if it had a nicer tip.

 

2.36" ftw... I have a T1r and its nice

 

i had a magnaflow muffler on my car. i liked the sound nice deep tone not raspy at all sounded really nice but it was a little to loud for me. so i went ahead and got a walker muffler put on my car and tone is just right for me not too loud but not quiet either...ill try and get some sound clips in for you guys.

 

I had a MAGNAFLOW also.... I still do and i am EXTREAMLY UNHAPPY with it. SOOO LOUD and RASPY.
I also didn't have a resonator, but i dont think it would have made THAT much of a difference

ES tuning, Any twin loop, World Sport 2 or an RS*R. I reccomend them all

 

You also have to remember, as you want your engine to breathe more, a chambered muffler deisgn is gonna restrict that.

A resonator will TOTALLY change the tone and loudness of an exhaust btw.

 

ImportRacr05: most peeps complain about the look of it. I like the stealth look of it.

i'm not really into chrome/polish/shiny things. i'd probably paint or powdercoat my subframe reinforcement brace in the future.

muffler shop special even for the polish one?

Nuck Chorris: you could use the stock tip.

604dc2gsr: if your going to run 2.5 pipe you might want to run a chambered muffler or twin-loop.

like 92integraVTECgsr said he lost power. unless you have other mods to back-up the 2.5 it probably will be the same outcome.

 

My vote: 2.5" es muffler

hence the " ", genius....

 

I might lose power? Man, i though I had this exhaust business figured out. Too late to turn back though, already bought the damn header and pipe. As for other mods, Im planning to pick up skunk2 camshafts and retainers,valve springs. etc... enough?

 

i got my es tuning oval (polished) in the mail today been on backorder from jhpusa and inlinefour for few months...

but anywhoo im going to get it put on tomorrow ill post pics i think its going to look dope but its my car ...

on another note i had a b16 da with 2.5 exhaust and magnaflow and i hated it just didn't like it ...

i hope my es oval is quieter and deeper but we will see tomorrow il post pics maybe a vid

 

my vote is a BURNS haha if you can't afford that, just go with anything. i personally like big n1 canisters.

 

i got a magnaflow oval on my integra and it sounds nice and deep sprayed it flat black and it looks like stock and theyre cheap

 

hey how much did some of yours guys custom exhaust piping cost i went to a muffler shop today and they said 220 for 2.25 piping with my muffler an 75 for just the muffler to get put on i thought it was too much what do you guys think
