Like the thread title says, I am looking for a muffler that has a tone that is similar to the FG2 Si. I am looking for something to go on my Del Sol VTEC and I understand the B16 with a header will inherently sound different but I just want it pretty close. Would I just be better off buying a new factory Si muffler?

I want it to sound about like this Si sedan in the YouTube clip I linked below. As you can see in the description, it was an "07 civic si sedan with injen cai, dc raceheader, and stock exhaust"

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

 

2 suggestions:

1. Buy a FG2 and do the mods he has listed
2. Do a k20z3 swap and do the mods he has listed.

 

just buy a si muffler and try that. should be pretty close.
ive got one for sale, pm me.

 

do what sivic 3 said.

but u have to understand that you have a 1.6 and we have a 2.0. so its more than conclusive that our motors will have a deeper tone.

 

^^^x2......i would just find a used muffler and it give a try........

 

dont waste your money buying a SI muffler. the raceheader will end up making the si muffler really raspy because its not made to be run without a cat.

 

Yea, I understand. I mean my other car has a 4.0L V8, so trust me, I am aware of the difference, lol. I just bought the car with a muffler that I can't stand the sound of, and am looking at my options. I am thinking of trying a resonator with the existing muffler first, and if that doesn't work, I am gonna start swapping out mufflers.

wat?

raceheader?

I believe the OP has an r18 lx/dx/ex and not an si.

 

It will be hard to replicate the sound of a DOHC K series from a sohc D series.

Hahahahaha. i see Greg has been here already.

where does it say he has a raceheader? header on a b16 doesn't mean he's deleted the cat. Also, you're looking at less exhaust flow in general from a 1.6 making 160hp vs. a 2.0 making 197hp. I doubt the si muffler would be raspy, especially if he still has a cat.

is that a more appropriate response?

 

lol yea Micha. best way to make your car sound like a k20 thats is to have one.

 

Um... who has a SOHC D series?? You DO know what the Del Sol VTEC came with... right?

I even said in the first post - B16

 

Yup, I do still have my cat with the header.

 

Dynomax round super turbo

 

Why did you ask that question in this forum then?

 

Ive heard an si muffler on an eg b-series and doesnt sound like a new si at all, i would say buy an oval style muffler like a vibrant streetpower style. Those dont sound too bad kind of a low deep sound.
