I have a 92 civic hatchback.. Getting tanabe exhaust from a friend for like pretty much free. http://www.suprastore.com/tangpowmed.html

I was wondering how it would sound with 2.25 piping on a B series. The inlet is 3 inches, but I've heard that muffler shops can make adapters and ****.. I just want to know how it sounds. I don't believe in back pressure or none of that **** so that's not relevant.

 

how are we going to tell you how it sounds over a forum?

look up sound clips

 

Its going to sound like this..











You ready???


















vroooooooooooooom vrooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom vrooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom
Then once you hit the highway its going to sound like this.


vroooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo om.

 

I'm asking if a turbo muffler on a N/A car would sound raspy, deep, low. I'm pretty sure you can use adjectives, and not be smartasses.

 

Every muffler sounds different on every setup, and we have absolutely no way of telling you how it's going to sound on your car. Bolt it up and see what happens, or get to searching on YouTube for a similar setup. I had to go through 4 different mufflers before I found one I was happy with.

 

A "turbo muffler" is awfully subjective to the manufacturer. Usually they're chambered for some reason.

Typically they're quieter.

 

IMO you deff don't need to go bigger then 2.25 on a non turbo car. And there right, Moines gonna be able to tell you the exact sound as every set up is different. I'd look up sound clips of the muffler and start from there. Plus there's a nifty lil thing called YouTube :$

 

3 in all the way around.
regardless of what anyone tries to tell you 3 in is better. from stock D to fully built K.

but you got the exhaust system so isn't that all piping and the muffler? or are you just getting the muffler?

 

wow dont spread misinformation guy. On a n/a engine he will actually lose hp with a 3inch pipe my friend.

 

Disagree all you want, you're wrong, There's no such thing really as "too big". Every dyno I've seen has proven that even on d16's and b16's the 3" exhaust will make more power all across the RPM band. 2-5whp on most cars.

The "needs backpressure" thing is a myth. Well, until we're talking about 6" diameter exhausts.

2.5" is plenty for most cars, since as you go larger you really start paying for the small amount of benefit with a LOT of decibels.

Like I said, disagree all you want:

Here's a dyno:

3" on stock motor showed big gains

Integra Type-R's had 2.5" piping from the factory. So how can 3" just be plain too big?

Is there some visceral cliff your engine walks off of with the extra .5"?

You're wrong, get over it. I thought the same thing for years.

 

Finally someone with no smartass comment. Thanks dude.
