Test pipe is responsible for a lot of your noise.

The WS is one of the quietest exhausts on the market. I've ridden in a CTR-spec B16 EK that was VERY quiet w/ this exhaust installed.

ES and Magnaflow won't be much quieter. I think if you put your cat back on it would quiet down considerably.

Full length exhaust with the WS is usually pretty quiet, and if its still not quiet enough, put a resonator in there. Just please don't get a Magnaflow, a friend of mine had one on his basically stock D16 CRX and it was way way way too loud. Its almost like the muffler amplified the sound instead of muffled it.

Or if you do want a different muffler, sell me your WS for cheap .

test pipe is definitely responsible for the loud noise, because WS is one quiet exhaust system! you could barely tell the car has an exhaust system

my mid pipe is stock, so i guess my choices are get a resonator or get a high flow cat, would a real high flow cat quiet it down, or how about a 24" resonator would i lose power either way, i think it isnt to loud jus my vx has no sounding deading materail

ive had numerous cops tell me that my exhaust(ws catback) is too loud too- haha i should get an n1 to show them what loud really is- oh, and no sound deading material will make a diff in how loud it it inside the car- thats prolly why it sounds soo loud to you

I have a b18c1 with 421 header in my vx hatch. I'm using the stock cat and is by no means loud. Get a cat and you will be fine.

ya apex is one of the quietest exhausts systems out there, and i think the old school black can RS*R's are super quiet. A new resonator wont help, a friend of mine has the same setup, and wasted $50 on a 22" resonator that didnt do a damn thing for noise suppresion.

damn dude, don't know what else to tell ya. Good luck finding a quiter one.

edit: reread it. You're running the stock b pipe, that's why. Has nothing to do with running a test pipe. If you got the full length WS that has a resonator it would be much quieter. Run the test pipe if you feel, but don't get a cat just to cut down on noise because it's minimal anyways.

Gamby, I never had a cat. Always ran a test pipe.
