Was wondering just about how loud is the ES Universal Muffler? I have had a Greddy EVO before and currently have a nice quiet RS-R on my GSR but i want a ES Oval for my EG6 for fitting on a B16A2. My friend has a Apex WS, so i need to know out of these listed which is it closest too.

Please move post if in the wrong section.

 

Depends on your piping and how many resonators you have if any.

 

Most likely the GReddy Evolution because the RS*R and WS are chambered. Unless you use a shitload of resonators or mufflers (used as resonators), the ES will still be loud because of its straight-through design.

 

well i was also thinking of putting it on my RS-R piping that is on the integra. Think that might quiet it down some?

 

not to hijack but would this be too much of a bottleneck for a turbo (2.5" piping, w/ resonator & cat)? i've heard it's damn quiet... and cheap too

 

i think 3.5 better for turbos. Hijacking is accepted lol.

 

i have the es oval with 2.25" piping, no cat, resonator, and rs*r 4-2-1...its loud as ****. Wasn't too loud when I didn't have a test pipe and the header though.

 

Another Hijack (sorry)

Where can I get the Es oval muffler? Do most people get that muffler because it looks stock or does it actually have some performance benefits?

Here is my setup.

JDM ITR 4-1, flange, 2.5in carsound cat, 2.5 axle back custom exhaust, es oval 2.5 inlet/outlet. It can be somewhat loud. But for how large my exhaust is it is very very nice. Even with a stripped interior. Rating on 1 - 10. 1 being stock, 10 being Apexii N1 , I would give my setup a 6. With smaller diameter exhaust, it would be 5. I hope this helps...

EDIT: I used to run an N1, I lost a lot of hearing, damn that thing is ricey...

so you have stock pipe from cat to axleback? that doesnt make any sense - its like good flow good flow, then stock 1.75" piping... am i wrong?

yea it offers performance benefits with catback piping..its a straight thru muffler design.

 

i saw it on http://www.jdmhondaparts.com, but my RS-R adopted a hole so i think i will grab the ES. Thanks for the input people.

$100 for chrome. not sure on the black finish... they may have it cheaper than jdmhondaparts &lt;&lt;&lt; but i know they will price match also...

let us know what happens and get a video of it

You can find it at Inline4, JDMhondaparts, and ES directly.
I got mine because it's very low profile, not very attractive to cops. It's a straight through designs, so no more beneficial than any other straight through muffler.

 

they aren't loud at all. a short ram intake, or a regular CAI will be WAAAYY louder then the muffler. this is with 2.25 and a cat no resonators or anything

 

A rodrez do you have any sound files or videos of your es oval setup?

Or anyone else?

Not from what I have heard. But then that was a on a B18C with 2.5 no cat. straight through.

I would highly recommend adding some resonators since they don't impeed flow that much anyways.

 

there alrite not loud. but i am sellin' one 2.5 piping

 

is this the same muffler or not? http://www.accordinglydone.com...id=73
thx mark

ok key peace of that equation is "NO CAT" cat's make a huge difference. when i had my setup with no cat loud as ****. now its alot quiter

 

I am running the ES oval 2.5" inlet/outlet on my turbo y7 with a Cat and it is pretty loud. I am thinking about swapping it out for something a lil quieter.

Is it just straight piping, or do you use some kind of resonator? You can get a resonator welded inline on the exhaust piping, or use some mufflers (or just one muffler) to act like a resonator. That will help keep things down. I've seen a few pics where people use two tiny round mufflers (not sure what they're called but Summit Racing carries them) to act like resonators. They say it works pretty well.

 

This is an old vid from a year ago. It will D/L in less than a minute, it will give you an idea of what it sounds like straight through. I had 2.5" mandrel bends and no resonator or cat.
