i jus got a 1994 accord.. im looking to put a good exhaust on it but is their any suggestions on a great muffler that is good for this engine without breaking the bank?

 

What are your auditory requirements?
Do you enjoy listening to music or are you more into ricer Fart Can Mufflers?

Oh, and forget this "without breaking the bank" stuff. Everything involved when deviating from OEM gets expensive.

apexi ws2 quiet

greddy evo2 loud

 

ebay n1.... won't break the bank


OP you might want to give more details as to what you're looking for. you might want to include your price range, sound desires, performance goals, etc the more specific you are the better

 

under 200 is my price range im looking something that will give me perfemance and a very deep roary sound...

 

how r are those n1's?

 

i would say find a shop and get custom piping w/ an oval muffler.

 

ya i got a full custom cat-back for $300. sounds great, not too loud.

 

I just ordered me an Apexi WS2 muffler and I'm getting an 2.75" to 3" custom piping done next weekend. I'll probably go with 3" since it'll benefit my H.

 

I'd like to get in on this.

I also have a 94, but my main concern is to find a muffler that has longevity and it as QUIET as possible! Of course, the less expensive the better.

thanks.

 

im kinda looking for a loud one

 

lol, at least you're honest. I would recommend the Apexi WS2 in all honesty, its not that its quiet but its just not horrendously loud and ricey making your car sound fast while still looking slow.

 

lol.. BINGO. X2

 

whats better, a universal muffler or a catback?

 

I never can hear mine unless I am in a tunnel. Intake over powers it by far.

 

Here's mine:



Just got it put on last Friday. Sounds nice and smooth! Apexi muffler with 2.5" custom exhaust piping.

what is better universal or catback?....

 

A universal is just the exhaust canister.. A catback goes from your catalytic converter all the way to the canister.. So the "cat back" is where its at..

 

The only modification to my '90 lx when I got it was a replaced cat back exhuast pipe and a universal magniflow muffler. the exhaust pipe is I believe a little bigger than stock, and the muffler is fairly large with a 3" opening, I really liked the sound quality, very smooth and deep, even during acceleration it got louder but not annoying. Although I recently got rid of my cat converter and installed a header and it doesnt sound that great any more

 

As for universal vs. cat-back. Get a universal and bring it into a quality muffler shop. Get them to make custom piping for you. Takes about 3 hours, is just as good as a cat-back, but at 1/3 of the price.

 

1/3 of the price for custom exhaust?? nah... Maybe for some shytie crush bent cheap pipe.. even Ebay ish is better..

 

Akkk! Twenty Lashes with a wet noodle for Brad mentioning EBay.

I tried going the discount cat-back route and first settled on a Magnaflow (Mario Andretti Special) system. It looked good so I went ahead and installed it.
Within one week, I had collected two (2) "Notice of Demand' tickets to have the car reinspected. (Noise Ordinance)

I ripped it out, using the intermediate pipe as a stand for my backyard bird feeder (as a reminder to spend wiser (grasshopper))

The car is now equipped with an Apexi WS2 Stainless cat-back.
No more tickets, no more complaints.
I can enjoy my audio, and my wife will once again ride in the car with me.

My point? Cheap now may NOT be cheap a week later. There are a lot of hidden expenses from not doing it right the first time.

Well, if you have not actually gotten it done like I have on TWO cars, then don't speak like you know.

 

I have gotten custom exhaust done on 2 vehicles aswell my friend.. Pay 400 for great quality work that has been tested an is made of high quality materiels or pay 100 for some cheap crush bent peice of shyte.. Id choose the quality manufacturer or go with a mandrel bent cheap O ebay junk.. I say junk but.... it is better flowing and and even though it may be chrome plated garbage it still looks an performs 10X better than some crush bent shinanigans..
GTFO

EDIT: P Adams I know I have mentioned the unthinkable but still.. IMO ANYTHING is better than crush bent..
lulz.. wet noodle.. Keep youz wet noodle away from me..

 

Sounds like you've been ripped off in the past then. "GTFO"? How old are you, 14?
