You just answered your own question.

 

yeah thats what resonators are made for.

 

piping was custom, where can i get a 2.5" resonator?

 

Talk to KTeller8

 

How about a muffler? (I'm assuming you are running a cat-back with only 2.5" piping and thats it from info provided in your post....)

 

yes i have a muffler. need a 2.5" resonator tho

Most muffler shops should have resonators in a variety of sizes. The longer the resonator, the more it quiets the sound...

 

yea i tried some muffler shops but they just have glasspacks. what do u guys think about glasspacks?

 

glasspacks, resonators, they are basically the same thing. From what I've seen the only difference is a "glasspack" looks kind of twisted inside.....they both will accomplish the same thing tho to quiet it down a bit...

he's right. get a proper resonator.

 

after i got my exhasut doen it sounded horrible so the exhasut shop provided a resonator for an extra 30 bills

 

you know 30 bills means 3000 on the street right? YOU GOT RIPPED!

lol j/k

I have a custom 2.5 from the cat back and where the oem mufler sits I replaced it with a 24" cherry bomb glasspack muffler and Im using that as a resonator with a universal muffler on the end. I also have a gutted cat and it still sounds sick, little smelly though if youre right standing behind me

 

What exhaust do you have right now anyways?

 

keep it simple . Go to summit racing order pt # sum-630805. It a $20 glasspack
& order sum-630125. It a turbo muffler. Yeah yeah I know american mufflers.

It work great on the rice cookers. The car has a deep mellow tone. Plenty of bottom end torque. From 1k - 4000 rpms it priety quiet. after that it opens up. It sounds great. Car performs great. Does'nt sound like a hord of hornets buzzing by.

I cant stand most of the jap exhaust kits. A lot of noise and no oomphh..

If I want to hear a loud car. it better have at least 500 hp. Like a hooked up mustang plenty of sound and power.

86 5.0
1/4 10.3
500hp at the wheels.


Don't get me wrong I love my b16 crx. performs decently 14.4 1/4 mile.

Put it to this. It performs just like my mustang when it was stock plus i get about
35 mpg.

Got ta love it

later

 

I'v always been told to go to a muffler shop and jsut tell them to install a turbo-tube(same thing as a glass pack) in line and it will kill a lot of tha noise.
