I INSTALLED A STAINLESS HEADER ON MY 98 CIVIC EX. I RAN 2 1/2 INCH PIPE AND INSTALLED A THRUSH GLASSPACK JUST PAST THE HEADER THEN RAN THE 2 1/2 PIPE OUT THE BACK AND ITS WAY TO LOUD. SO NOW I WANT TO INSTALL A PREFORMANCE MUFFLER IN THE ORIGINAL MUFFLER POSITION. IM LOOKING FOR A DEEP RUMBLE WITH LITTLE BACK PRESSURE. I WAS THINKING EITHER FLOW 40 SERIES OR EDELBROCKS NEW RACING MUFFLER. ANY ADVISE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKS

 

Rather than flaming, lets look past the caps and assume he's asking a legitimate question until there is a real reason to think otherwise.

Now, perhaps we can try to post something helpful...

 

why all the muscle car crap????? glasspacks and flowmasters are for v8's.... just spen to money of an apexi wsII or somthing

 

you put on a glasspack and are suprised its too loud? start there.

No, he ran it straight out without a muffler and he is surprised its too loud.

To the OP: You have a lot of options, its all up to preferance. Apexi n1, apexi world sport...maybe something less flashy like an es tuning. Its all up to you.

 

if you want something moderatley quiet without losing too much..i suggest a apexi ws2..i have it on my car and love it

 

dc sport is quite i had header back on my ej1 and it had a low tone and wasnt to loud

 

try a thermal they sound great

 

If it's a stock motor, the cheapest and most reliable route is going to be a stock muffler.

Though I know a few people now who have OEM RSX and 06-07 Si mufflers and are very pleased.

 

Header, highflow cat, longest resonator the shop has, and a magnaflow race series muffler

I've ran this on all my previous cars and sounds great and totally unrestricted. It's loud too, but not ricey at all.

 

^^ What size piping?

 

Whatever goes best with your setup, on a stock motor it needs nothing more than 2.25". Magnaflow mufflers can come with whatever inlet/core you need. The muffler itself is usually like $115 shipped or so and they are clean looking.





Wish I had a sound clip, but I sold my coupe, and I'm leaving my hatch motor stock.

 

i dont like magaflow... its just so generic and easy to find.

Aww yes, because millions of people dont have Greddy, HKS, Tanabe, Apexi, DC sports or Spoon right?


OP: Try a resonator before you go out and purchase another muffler. Chances are with that glasspack you are going to be loud no matter what unless you change the diameter of your piping and replace the glasspack with a resonator.

 

yep, i personally dont get excited about what my neighbor has on his chevy truck. i cant tell if your aggreeing with me or dissing me.

 

megan racing makes mufflers, but thermal is always good too, i would just buy any good quality muffler

 

magnaflow is quiet.....

You might as well say every muffler is quiet.

Magnaflow has quiet and very noisy exhaust.

I have the world sport also, its pretty quiet and deep sounding, but with no cat even it will sound raspy.

 

Silencer.... or T1R exhaust.

 

or u can go wit the apexi noir, its the world sport 2 but its blacked out

 

have you ever heard a skunk2 i had one on my eg and i loved the sound of it

 

apexi n1 sounds nice, but i like the magnaflow, thats what i have and it's pretty quiet

 

i've got a 97 ex y8 with dc header and 2.5" piping to a Fujitsubo RMO1A. Nice deep tone, not loud at all. has a pretty good rumble on down shift. Look up RMO1A on youtube for soundclips.
