I originally put this thing on thinking it would be a nice quiet stock exhaust.

Instead its loud!

Could it be because im still using the stock civic mid piping?

or is this normal?

EDIT: I FIGURED OUT WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE... READ BELOW!

if you are using the stock civic mid pipe it should be even quieter

 

check for exhaust leaks

the welds look as though they are complete, but who knows right?

best bet might be to start the car up on a hoist and check for leaks!

 

most likely exhaust leaks, but that looks damn good

 

WOW thats just what i'm about to do.
yes please check for those leaks....
looks good

 

I just went outside and realized the gasket from the B pipe to the rear unit is corroded to **** and that there is a gap!

Trip to honda tomorrow to get a gasket and hopefully fix my noise issue!

On the other hand im gonna BBQ paint the rear unit flat black

tell us how you like it once you get the leak fix

 

sure will ! Keep you posted

 

ok guys i just fixed the exhaust today.

Here is what happened:

im using the stock civic midpipe and bolted on the GSR rear unit after being shortened.

Now the size of the flange from the civic midpipe was smaller than the GSR flange from the exhaust. The GSR flange is bigger.

So in the end i used a bigger gasket and some muffler cement just in case!! A GSR gasket is what you need!

Now its nice and quiet!!

EDIT: spelling ownz me

 

same problem im having with my 00 SI muffler on my 93 LX, im gonna put the 00 SI midpipe on soon

 

wow. woulndt have ever thought that ther's another red cx hatch out there with the same fat spoke delslo rims i have....
