have any of you guys ran oem muffler without the resonator?

like an type r exhaust, rsx exhaust, sir exhaust or your civic?

how does it sound?

i want to get rid of my n1 style exhaust i find it too loud, i know exhaust tone is subjective but i would like to know if they are quiet enough without the stock resonator on. not sure if anybody has tried this or not.

 

My friends do it on there cars. (eg civic w/ ls vec & Gsr) very silent i must say when your crusing.. but when they drive fast and vtec pops in.. to me. it sounds like a rc gas car.. hard to describle. im sure someone on h-t has it recorded

 

but this happens at very high rpms right?

i want to know does it become annoying around 3000 rpm.

 

humm. that would be intresting does it flow any better with the resinator gone?

 

I think it flows better.. usally they disconnect the muffler b4 they go racing or whatever.. no idea at what rpm they are running at.. i usally only notice when they are racing down the street.
