sup all! i just want to let everyone know that after i installed my 3 inch piping with HKS titanium muffler on my 2000 si, i can barely hear the radio!!! my exhaust is waayyyyyy too loud. whoever said having an exhaust on a turbo car is quieter than a N/A car is a DUMBASS!

 

do you have any resonators?

lol holy crap had me rollin...got a mental image of a guy in a windtunnel

 

add like two 3" resonators on it, that should shut that puppy down.

 

Add a 3" Moroso Spiral Flow resonator. That should quiet things down a bit, and is about $60 shipped.

 

Obnoxiously loud exaust

 

adding a resonator will restrict the flow! i cant let that happen! im gonna start by adding a muffler silencer...if its still too loud then i'll add the resonator.

 

Wow.

 

That same 3" exhuast would be louder and sound like *** on an NA car . My 3" sounds awesome

You say a resonator is going to restrict the flow, but you're going to throw in a super-restricting silencer instead? Think about it. The hole on the HKS silencer is like 2.5 inches. A resonator is straight through like a muffler.

 

Turbo should definitely be quiter. I drove my civic with open header and open downpipe, open downpipe was much more quiet than open header. What about your wastegate, does it vent straight into atmosphere or back into exhaust? that can make a difference.

 

wastegate shoots straight out to the atmosphere. how can that make a difference? please explain!

and about the restricted flow of the silencer....yea it'll restrict the flow alot more but i can always take it off. with the resonator i cant do that.

 

what kinda exhaust is it?

 

You guys in the states kill me with the whining

 

It's fine... shut off the radio and listen to your turbo spool.

 

If the wastegate goes straight into the atmosphere, then that's like having a wastegate sized exhaust leak. If it went into the exhaust then it would be muffled like the rest of the exhaust gases.

 

i got a titanium HKS muffler with 3 inch piping.

im not having a problem with my wastegate making noise though. its just the exhaust being loud.
