Hello. I have a 2000 honda accord, currently with the mid muffler/resonator removed as well as the rear muffler also removed. The car does have a cat converter.



I notice humming/buzzing/vibrating sound when accelerating and cruising at certain speeds. The car is also just slightly loud for me overall volume wise with no muffler and resonator. I want to make the car quieter but only SLIGHTLY quieter than what it currently is with no mufflers (maybe just 5-10% quieter) and hopefully get rid of some of the drone.



I purchased a 12” cherry bomb glasspack at my local auto store. Which of the following options would reduce the most drone/humming and give the exhaust a better tone, but NOT reduce too much of the overall sound level?



A.) install the cherry bomb where the mid muffler/resonator would go and then run straight pipe to the back bumper



Or



B.) run straight pipe from the middle where the original mid muffler/resonator was cut off to the back bumper and install the cherry bomb as the rear muffler.



Thank you.

Im in the same boat to some extent. My son wants to cut out the last muffler in the line right next to the exhaust pipe and put in a straight pipe. I have no idea if this is legal or even possible.
