has anyone disconnected the stock muffler of the rsx? is it really loud or just slightly louder. im worried if i do it it will be way to loud. let me know

 

well i dont know about the rsx.. but my buddy did it to his s2k and it was ridiculously loud.. Plus dont think u wanna do it.. Think you lose hp buddy..

 

Think thread proves there is such thing as a stupid question.

 

agreed

 

well a friend of mine has a jetta and he cut everything from the cat back and put in a 3 inch pipe with no muffler and wasnt bad, so i was wondering if just removing the muffler would be ok. but i guess not

 

Jetta mayt have been a turbo model which would have seen a slight gain. Thr RSX will not like it. Just get a good exhaust and be happy!

 

do you have altezza tail lights? do you plan to put some mad sick rota's on your car? please dont ruin your rsx doing stupid stuff to it. just buy an exhaust and a real one o=not one of them ebay M-style ones thats going to fall apart at the welds.

haha you said it brother the rsx doesnt deserve bad owners..........poor car

 

If you remove your muffler, the B-pipe will then be exiting right into your rear lower control arm.

It won't sound good, that's for sure. If anything take it to a muffler shop and have that last resonator removed on the B-pipe. That mod does indeed give the exhaust a more aggressive tone. Actually it gives it a very nice tone.

 

yeah, you guys dont have to worry about me doing anything crappy to it. the only things that i am goint to do to it are jdm badges, possibly a supercharger and all the things that go with it, and an A-spec lip kit. nothing further.

Actually IMHO, it sounds REALLY good. Spend 10 mins and do it, although its kinda "ghetto" its such a smooth sound. not loud at all.

by take oiff the muffler i mean like as if someone stole ur muffler, dont spend a dime lol

its your car bro do whatver the hell you want to it but for god sake dont dirve around buzzing everywhere with no exhaust

 

One of my friends up here at school took his off, doesn't sound bad. I would still go with a catback and RH set up though.

Yes it actually sounds pretty good on an RSX and doesn't really lose much power at all...it honestly sounds better then some exhausts that I've heard

 

Taking off the OEM muffler is going to get old real fast.

I drove around for 2 weeks without it, while I was waiting for my catback.

I hated it after like the 3rd day, because it's exiting right under the rear seats and drones out everything in the cabin (conversation, music, etc).

It sounds "okay" if you are listening from outside the car, but gets annoying while inside the car.

Do it after you place the order for your exhaust lol. See how u like it until it's time for the new exhaust.

 

Build up your mod list with actual performance parts rather than trying to make it sound louder. Gains will be minimal to negative. Do what you will to the car, we are all just opinions.
