does anybody have this muffler on a 99-00 civic si the reason i ask is because i bought one over the weekend i got it on and its sound bad when i rev high it starts to sound like one those cheap ricer autozone mufflers and i know damn right apexi will not put that on the market i want to know if your muffler sounds like that or if you know anyone with the ws2 i had the n1 muffler and it sounded great now i dont know if the ws2 should sound like a bean can and no its not a cheap ebay muffler it the real deal

 

anyone? any ideas?

 

condition of the exhaust? what motor are you running? do you have a cat?

 

I just installed my Apexi WS2 on my EM1 the other week and it sounds nice and quiet.

 

i got a jdm sohc vtec with the ws2 muffler on rsr piping. i have headers and a stock cat. i thought it muffler would sound good but its pretty load. dont know if its just me or if thats just how it is..

 

i got the muffler brand new from inline four i have a cat its new headers and the piping was re done to to 2 1/2 inch intake the muffler is quite when i start up the car but when i get passed 5k rpm it sounds like a tin can

 

Was it "re-done" with mandrel bends or crushed bent? If its the later then thats your problem right there! The crush bent corners magnify and reverberate sound through the rest of the exhuast system giving it a tinny/ raspy(ricey) sound! At least thats what the guy at the muffler shop basically said!

 

Do you have the apexi resonator , that will make the difference.

it was done with mandrel bents

 

You don't have a resonator correct? That would be your problem.

 

Do you have just the axle back? or the full catback?

 

I actually have it on my car and it sounds good..... In fact, it just sounds a little meatier then the stock muffler. Even when you rev it up it shouldn't sound like a "pebble inside a coke can"..... BTW, I have a 00 civic si.... Personally, i think something might be wrong with your muffler.

i thought the same thing to cuz i heard so much good feedback about that muffler but when i got it it sonds real nasty its not beefy at all

 

I have the original WS on a b16a w/ the stock exhaust manifold. It sounds slightly louder than stock, unless your @ WOT. Also, it did not come w/ a silencer. Mine's a full catback. I love the sound, much quieter then an N1. I agree with the opinion there's something wrong with the muffler... possible hole? Exhaust leak? Just throwing out guesses.

 

im thinking the same thing to now i got home from work and i checked it out all the welds but i cant find nothing

 

IMO, it sounds like crap because of your stock crush bent piping.

The flow sucks, until it gets to the axleback, which it has a drastic change in flow, thus making the ricer fart sound.

 

In my case I went with the full cat-back..... I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Nonetheless, it still shouldn't sould like a pebble in a can. Good Luck.

i should of just got the full cat back instead or do my whole piping again

 

if you read the responses in your thread, you can easily see that it sbecuase you dont have a apexi resonater and u have stock-like piping. buy the full catback and call it a day
