Will a 94'+ integra muffler be enough?
 

Ok, I finished my turbo kit about a month ago on my 94 civic ex. My whole plan was to have a complete sleeper (stock hubcaps and everything!) and to use the stock exhaust. Well, at first I was a little dissapointed because although it got a lot faster, I could only spool 5 psi on my 14b and it had so much lag. It didn't even really spool in 1st gear.
So my friend with a 95 teg is in the process of building a 400hp motor this winter and he was going to get the thermal r&d exhaust, so he gave me his straight through cat, and cat-back exhaust. It made a huge difference. All of a sudden I can spool by like 4000 rpm but now I'm stuck with a loud exhaust---which I hate and defeats my purpose.
So I tried using my stock muffler, with the bigger exhaust and the new cat and I was back to square one--only 5psi.
So I guess my question is--is it worth it to try a stock gsr or ls muffler? I know the piping is much bigger than my tiny civic ever had, but will it be enough yet keep me quiet? Also someone is selling an RSX type s muffler on HT for like $80 that's modified to work on a civic--is it worth it?
Oh, and btw, if anybody has that stock muffler laying around, do you want to donate it to me to try it out ;) Ill pay shipping!

I would go with a full custom 2.5" or 3" exhaust. Your purpose for turboing your car is to make it faster. If your purpose is to have a quiet car then keep it stock.

get full intergra piping and a gsr pan and gut the cat and remove the resognator. thats what i did, 8 psi no problem nice and quiet.

well I was planning on still using the straigh through cat and the mid eaxhaust, I am just wondering about the axle back portion with the muffler, so I guess an integra muffler would probably work?

Re:Will a 94'+ integra muffler be enough?
 

I'm hoping to do the same thing with the larger piping and teg muffler. I was boosting 5psi and I took the axle back off my car and the boost jumped to 9 psi with no changes at all !!! Of course I was running it though the factory 1'' DX piping. It has a gutted cat, but the muffler was just too restrictive, but now its kinda loud. My friend has a greddy fart piping with 2 1/2'' piping and his is louder than my car with no muffler at all !!!

I was thinking about the teg muffler and larger piping even when I was using nitrous...

Not meaning to sound like an ass, but we were thinking more in the "none fart pipe area" I think...

OEM = quite
OEM civic = normally crappy stuff, lower HP
OEM teg = normally good enough that replacing isn't going to give much power if any.

Just about anything aftermarket sounds like a fart pipe. Deep sounding fart pipe, loud sounding fart pipe, shining fart pipes, they are all still fart pipes and 99/100 of them are too loud for me ( more like 100/100, b/c I don't know of any aftermarket muffler that is as quite as stock, but increases power ).

Re:Will a 94'+ integra muffler be enough?
 

you dont think replacing a teg muffler is going to improve performance much on a turbo car?...i sure do. It's up to you, but i'd live with more noise in exchange for letting my motor breath. Maybe thats just me, i like loud cars.

Re:Will a 94'+ integra muffler be enough?
 

I like sleepers too much I guess...
I just wish someone made a OEM quite muffler and aftermarket flow. I seems most companys TRY TO MAKE IT LOUDER...

Any 4 banger that isn't turbo doesn't need an aftermarket exhuast, but the turbo helps it sound a lot better, that's for sure.

Re:Will a 94'+ integra muffler be enough?
 

Why not try and find a factory turbo cars exhaust maybe from a dsm, then maybe it will flow better than the civic's and be quieter.

Re:Will a 94'+ integra muffler be enough?
 

the muffler i showed you is pretty much a stock muffler just bigger inlets and outlets...the guy who sells em showed me a picture and they look exactly the same and from what ive heard sound damn close to the same also...

$80 too....not bad for a quality muffler

Re:Will a 94'+ integra muffler be enough?
 

Havn't you heard of the fartless fart can?

Anyways, i can't remember the name of it but its a 2 1/2 inch fart can that goes through itself 2 times and its completely silent, my friend has it on his turbo teg, i will give him a call later today and find out the name of it. its prety pricy though.

Re:Will a 94'+ integra muffler be enough?
 

you could try a muffler off of a new eclipse, i think they are 2.5 inch

Re:Will a 94'+ integra muffler be enough?
 

Stock mufflers off other turbo cars is a good idea, but the reason I mentioned the intergra muffler is because it is a direct bolt on. I think I'm going to give it a try.....now if I could only find somebody that doesn't want their's.

Re:Will a 94'+ integra muffler be enough?
 

I hear the Apex'i WS mufflers are somewhat on the quieter side.

Re:Will a 94'+ integra muffler be enough?
 

try and accord v6 pan. use only one, cuz if you put both on your civic, then id have to call you a rice boy.

Re:Will a 94'+ integra muffler be enough?
 

just get a flowmaster or something like that. they look stock and just give a different tone. They do help to keep the car quieter. I just ordered a hooker 3" muffler for my Civic for $57.00 Its painted black, looks stock and just gives the car a different tone. Nobody will be able to tell its for performance (except for the 3" outlet)

Look at it this way most poeple think loud hondas are slow anyways so im reality youd blend right in with all the slow ones . Theyll never know what hitem. :P

Re:Will a 94'+ integra muffler be enough?
 

Most loud hondas are slow, hahaha...

Re:Will a 94'+ integra muffler be enough?
 

buy a generic muffler for a truck. one with 2 1/2 inch ins and outs or somethin

Re:Will a 94'+ integra muffler be enough?
 

im replacing my muffler with a full 2.5" system in a couple weeks when it comes in. its old and crappy but if you want to pay shipping you can have it

Re:Will a 94'+ integra muffler be enough?
 

Just Grease the crap out of the factory muffler bearings, it will flow great after that!! ;D
