or bc spec 2 exhausts. I was just wondering how much trouble you guys have had with the cops or fix-it tickets, if any at all. Is it really worth running those types of exhausts on a daily just for the hell of it or should i just run a more modest setup.

 

SNAP CRACKLE POP

 

i got straight pipe to the stock muffler the cops dont mess with me cause my car doesnt make any noise

 

2.5 inch full exhaust with a resonator and gutted cat. Never had an issue with cops anything.

 

Disaster.

 

4" bumper exit FTW.

 

B20b with header, 2.5 in straight pipe(came with car) and an OEM muffler. Too loud.
Get a hi flow cat if you really want to straight pipe.
Anything over 2.25 is too big for NA.

 

I run spec 2 with a turbo and it's too loud. I had to use earplugs driving it around. So I stuck a cat on it and a packing tip and its not so loud anymore. My neighbors thank me now.

 

Tri-Y header 3 inch full exhaust with a resonator no cat! 11:1 compression its loud daily driver for a year now, never had a prob with cops, It also passed state inspection!! LOL

 

^^haha NO IT DIDNT!

anyways. BC spec 2 is garbage don't do it.
but you can run a straight pipe. mines a highflow cat to 2.5 piping and a vibrant dual tip exhaust. its pretty loud if you get on it otherwise it works. if you really do DD every day you'll want at least one resonator in there it can get a lil bothersome.

also 3 in. is where its at for NA. if your going performance. if not don't worry about exhaust sizes.

 

i had a buddy club spec 2 on a gsr motor with tri y header and a test pipe. i drove it every day and made 200 mile round trips every weekend. over about a year and a half i only got 1 ticket and it wasnt because it was too loud but because the exhaust had no muffler(although being loud is obiously what got me pulled over). overall it wasnt that bad if you dont mind driving a loud car otherwise i would get something with a muffler.

 

Straight pipe imo for daily is not worth it,you loose acceleration,especially during hotter weather and the smell is getting to me,im about to just put a magnaflow cat or catco cat on since my car came catless,just to be legal and get some low end power back but to each its own its just my opinion,i had a 240sx s14 ka24de and that engine pulls hard really hard without a cat and 3.5 inch exhaust n/a it likes to breath but my civic does not lol

 

3 inch muffled full mandrel bent exhaust FTW

 

This is what i run.
This is a brand new in box with gasket megan racing cat delete with honeycomb so not loud at all. has o2 sensor plug also.
$70 shipped

 

Not sure if I should even post... as this applies to my suburban, not my civic, but...

I put a 3" straight pipe on my burb in 2007. For 3 years, I passed safety and never had a problem with the cops. However, two months ago I failed safety for no muffler. So, I installed a Magnaflow XL Turbo muffler. It has a nice deep rumble and I passed inspection with flying colors. In hindsight, I should have installed the magnaflow over the straight pipe in the first place. It sounds much better.

 

I have a 3 inch with a raptor turbo muffler and it gives a nice rumble after 4k and at 3 k sounds like a turbo and mines not on lol. They sound very nice and quiet until you get on them, but then they still sound good. I would go with a turbo muffler of any sort...

 

Whats the inner diameter??

 

its resonator...high five for overpaying for that garbage.

can get one for 40 bucks+ cost of welding on a flange.

 

Just run open header......-.-

I got stopped just for having an axle back on my civic..... So i wont bother posting about my issues with cops and such.

 

^Im running open downpipe off my t67 (3") and I have to wear earplugs to drive. Been like this for a few months now. I hate this ****....
