exhaust...
 

im about 85% ready to put a turbo in my car....but one thing i do NOT want is that crappy ass wraspy sound that peoples ehaust makes. ive only seen a few 1998 lx civic's with mufflers on them(dont knowif full ehustor not) but they all sounded really bad...what will i have to do to make sure that i DONT get that sound? i know to keep the respirater on but im sure there is more i can do.....i want my car be a really low pitch rumble thatis decently noisy that vibrates your car from just sitting next to you. does anyone understand what i mean? if this is a newb question i appologize

Re: exhaust...
 

it's a honda it will never rumble it will buzz and sound like ----

unless

it has a turbo. Turbochargers change the sound of a honda so it's at least not going to sound like a pissed off weedeater but it will never have a rumble...

Re: exhaust...
 

what the ---- is a respirator? lol open dp may make the other car next to you rattle. We dont own muscle cars . :S

Re: exhaust...
 

If you leave the "resonator" on and run a turbo....you won’t have a ---- can sound.

Re: exhaust...
 

I am running a cherry bomb special from Checker Auto and a Dynomax super turbo. I think the two pieces combined cost me ~$50

Re: exhaust...
 

hondas with no cat sound wraspy, also removeing the resonator does it aswel. also if you have loud muffler on your car and the baffles in it go tehn ut do it to

Re: exhaust...
 

3" turbo back exhaust with no cat/ no resonator, and a decent muffler will sound good, low deep tone and quiet in boost, no raspy weed whacker....

Re: exhaust...
 

I can tell you with certainty that Honda's without turbo's don't sound raspy at all with the right setup. I had a built H22 EG two years ago. I ran all 2.5 inch back, used a glasspack turned backwards in place of the cat...got the longest one, then ran back to an HKS Hi Power canister. I was simply the meanest sounding NA Honda exhaust I have ever heard...and anyone who heard it would agree.

If anyone does an NA setup, use that combo I have and you WON'T be disappointed. It's smooth and very deep at idle...subtle, even under drive around throttle it's light with just a little sound...roll to WOT and that thing sounds like it's straight out of SCCA World Challenge. Alot of depth, no raspy at all whatsoever, and calm all the time except WOT...a very nice setup.

Re: exhaust...
 

I have no cat and a thrush glasspack and its sound a little ricey but not as bad as egay mufflers.

Re: exhaust...
 

if your wanting an exhaust you can hear without sounding like poo i would just take off the muffler and leaving the rest off. my buddies gsr sounded perfect with just the cat and resonator. and its free :0 as for performance.... haha i have no idea

Re: exhaust...
 

Yeh 3" from turbo with decent muffler.

Re: exhaust...
 

I'm running open downpipe to a 12" 3 in and out resonator to a 45 degree bend dump. :D The resonator quieted it down enough so my heater core doesn't rattle anymore but it still sounds mean and you can hear the WG and turbo over the exhaust.

Re: exhaust...
 

a stock civic with a muffler is going to sound like bumble bee no matter what, BUT! if you boost it the turbo is going to act like a silencer somewhat. i did a 3'' dp with a flex pipe and a tanabe muffler and it didnt sound RICEY.

Re: exhaust...
 

Hey, I own a muscle car. I dont have to worry about the raspy, pissed off bee either. Just a nice, low rumble/growl, that ------- roars at higher RPM and WOT ;D

Re: exhaust...
 

i know someone that had a turbo car with a 3 inch SS exhaust...couple resisnators, muffler, etc...sounded like ----... my exhaust i had on my CRX was about the same, but some thick wall aluminized steel with only two resinators (no cat or muffler) and it sounded....well it didnt make any noise ;)

dont use Stainless Steel!!!!!!!!! every car i hear with SS exhaust has that ------ Honda sound...

Re: exhaust...
 

My 3" Kteller and a 3" Summit turbo muffler was quite and mellow. No rasp at all. Its on Noel's car now.

Re: exhaust...
 

I've actually heard SS dampens the noise a lot more. A friend of my brother's had a Focus with exhaust, sounded all raspy and shitty, then he changed to full stainless (only change really made) and it sounded a little better.

Re: exhaust...
 

i ran 2.5 inch unmuffeled, un baffled, un resonated, and without a cat. sounded great

Re: exhaust...
 

i got 3 inch from the turbo out the back. no cat no resonator no muffler. its loud, but not retard loud. deep as hell and it shakes the dash enough to make my cd plater skip and and my clock dim every time i tap the throttle from an idle ;D

Re: exhaust...
 

im not boosted yet, but im running my long tube 4-2-1 header, the cat and straight pipe out the side...really loud and really raspy starting at about 3k rpm...man i cant wait for the turbo, then it will sound soo much better

Re: exhaust...
 

Im running 3" open downpipe, with my 12lb flywheel and the tires spinning at 15psi boost

There aint no rasp in the world, sounds like a ------- crazy bat though, people freak the ---- out when i fly by
