Hey HT
I gott an Es tunning mufler the other day.....From what ive heard theyre suppose to be a quiet exhaust...just what ive heard.......My exhaust consists of stock headers, cat, and 2.5 inch piping all the way to the es mufler. I dont have an resonator on it.
My real problem is ITS FREKIN HELLA LOUD INSIDE THE CAR butt nice and quiet (just the way i like it outside the car). Can some one explain to me why it is like that. Heres a video of the sound..hopefully this will help somehow. Will welding in a resonator help quiet the noise thats inside the car.
I also heard about glasspack exhausts or however you call them...Can someone tell me more about what they do.
Heres the vid

Upgrades are on page 2
Thanks to all that helped me out.

 

I recently had a similiar problem. I got my vibrant flat black oval muffler and a 18 inch resonator (glass pack) put on. The rest of my exhaust consists of a cheap 4 to 1 header and factory cat. Even with the first resonator on the exhaust was still louder than I liked.

I had another 18 inch resonator welded on and that did the trick.

I recomend you try a resonator.

 

If you plan on getting a resonator, in which i suggest you do. Do not buy a glasspack, they may dampen the sound at first, but later on will get louder, and louder.

Get a good, LONG resonator from vibrant or magnaflow.

 

yeah just a simple resignator should do the trick and if its to quite after that you could do high flow cat or test pipe

 

I have used the glass pack on a few cars in the past without a problem.

 

Thanks guys .
I have a stock resonator from a gsr will it work on 2.5 inch piping. Would a stock resonator do the trick?
Heres a pic of the gsr resonator.

And yes my next exhaust upgrade is gonna be a test pipe that i will be making/welding myself.
If i putt on an testpipe. Would it mess up the o2 sensors or the one after the cat.......?

 

bump
Any one with more advice............?
thanks

 

that should work man. my current set up is 4-2-1 headers to test pipe back to stock resignator and RS-R exhuast its pretty quite and sounds really good

 

thanks
will be welding in the resonator this week and hopefully will gett the test pipe done to.

 

i would not do the test pipe til you know for sure you want it. it will depeand on the muffler how much it muffles the sound

 

ES tuning..??? hmm never herd of them. please send link...i like the quiet sound

 

what have u been sleeping under a rock..

 

yeah litterly, i have had many hondas.. then i went to mustang..had many of those..sold my last one, bought the last year of the dc2... so help me out here...link please

 

WAHT
quiet lol
its freking ear defening inside the car butt nice and deep outside the car

heres a link i foud
you shuld try craigslist...its were i found mines .

Im getting used to it day by day butt im still welding in the resonator or a glas pack resonator then if its nice and quiet inside the car then ill do the test pipe......why wouldnt you want to do a test pipe............my car is like a test dummy for me
can you tell me more.

 

as everyone else mentioned add a resonator or try a twin loop axle back.

 

i second this. check out this thread on T-I http://www.team-integra.net/forum/di...h&ThreadPage=2 i have pictures of my obx twinloop and 2.5" exhaust. i also have a 22 inch resontor and there is no cabin drone

 

Or you could try dynamat or something similar under the carpet right along the exhaust tunnel... But I had the same issue and I wrapped my exhaust with thermo tech cooling wrap up to just under the rear seats and the problem stopped... But I also did this cause I pulled the stock heat shield out and my shifter started to burn my hand as I was driving lol... but if you want to cut and weld go with the Resonator

 

yep- these cars need the resonator or else- well you know already, it sounds hella ricey

 

no not risey just a bitt to loud inside the car.
i will be getting a resonator from one of the shops that is down the road for 25$ for a 2.5inch resonator at like 20inch long one..?

 

I will try wraping it in heat wrap and see wats up to.

 

Its way to expencive for a twin loop. Ill be piking the resonator up this week.

 

Since i have 2.5 inch piping and once i putt in an resonator then the straight pipe. will i lose alot of backpresure wich inturn equals less power............?

 

You shouldn't lose too much power with the resonator, it is a straight through design but is there to quite it down.

 

Can you use the stock resonator with 2.5" piping? I always assumed the stock resonator was a tube within a tube like most, and the GSR is more like 2.25" pipe. Or is the stock resonator completely hollow on the inside? If so you can cut the ends off more and weld it up.

I'm replacing the exhaust on my GSR, so I'd like to know as well...
