Ok Ive searched and searched but have not gotten any satisfying answers. What would be the best muffler that would accomplish hi flow and performance gains yet doesn't sound like a fart can and is not super loud cause that's just as annoying. Also i don't want to spend to much so reasonable priced ones are what I'm looking for.
porter, they look like glasspacks but have a great sound. they use a spiral type of louver, I built my own, but if I had to buy one thats what I would get, if you want a really quality muffler, you are going to have to pay some money.Originally Posted by SladeHonda

I love the sound of my Magnaflow. Nice and deep and not very raspy sounding.
Lostforawhile:we have to pick on him he's CAH he spray painted himself into this corner with the accord.
Vibrant. (i kno.they sound good on turbo hondas)
But cats+resinators make a diff also in exhaust note.
these engines sound different then most other honda's of this era, so plan your muffler accordingly,everything is different, bore,stroke,block material, it all affects the sound, plus they are a larger displacement then the civic weedeater motors that were made at this time. if you want my opinion they sound like old brittish cars,
this is a pretty much stock system with no cat and a basic cherry bomb, this is also the factory carb, It will be interesting to see what the new system sounds like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dgyhi...2&feature=plcp
Thanks for the advice so far .... I guess i need to add that Im going from header back (pacesetter headers, either 2.5 or 2.25 pipe and hi flow cat. as well so now what would sound the best after going through that line up)
Im not sure if this is true but somewhere i think i read that you can use a glasspack like a resonator to help deepen and quiet down the system as well if you do it and still think its too loud??
O and when I say reasonable i dont mean 30 bucks Im willing to spend some money, just dont want to spend 300 bucks on one if yall get my drift
A cherry bomb turbo sounds pretty good and not to loud.plus it doesn't cost a lot.
Honestly imo apex n1 style mufflers sound great as longs as you have a resonator. They are loud but no rasp. Had the nopi brand one with a resonator i got of a chevy at school abd 2.25 pipe, best sounfing ns car me and my honda friends ever heard that wasnt fully built and that had no raps.
I love the sound of my Flowmaster 40 series muffler.

I had one of these in my first coupe. at 3700 rpm the resonation of the muffler matched the natural tuned frequency of the car and the ENTIRE car would vibrate to the sound of the muffler. It was too loud for me, sounded a bit ricey but I also has mandrel 2.25 piping installed as well. I swapped to a magnaflow and loved the sound.
Yea i think the imo apex n1 is gonna be to loud for me I believe thats what a few people in my city have on there cars mostly Civics and it to loud. I like more of a low rumble and doesn't get all crackly sounding when a lil gas is applied. If it does have a little of that sound would getting a glasspack as a resonator solve that ??
A resonator would quiet it down,I'm gonna put a magnaflow glass pack on mine to quit it down.It's on order so when i get it ,I can put it on.I'll let you know how it sounds.
I've always been a fan of the twin loop mufflers. You can get those for $70 or so.
OK cool do that what kinda muffler u running .... n how does magnaflow sound better than cherry bomb Turbo?
dual outlet style like on the Acuras and V6 Accords?
I need to so something different, mine has that "Briitish ragtop" sound as well sometimes. Im running a Chikara Header, 32 inch glass pack in place of the cat?resonator and then a stock generic 2.50 id muffler. ITS GETTING LOUDER and annoying.
I think the sheet metal in the muffler catchs that frequency and acts like a reed.
If you have a cordless sawsall you can get a nice flowmaster or what have you from the pull a part. Look in the donka section, not imports.
A single muffler (with no cat) is likely going to be too loud for most people unless you use a really huge muffler. Keeping a cat or adding a glass pack (essentially is a resonator) will cut down the rasp and the drone. Also, one other thing I discovered about the droning inside the car, is that you MUST extend the tailpipe past the cutout in the bumper cover by a couple inches or so. If you don't, the sound gets reflected off the inside of the bumper cover back towards the rest of the car and makes the body vibrate. Tips that flare out will also make the tailpipe noise louder (just like a trumpet).

The camera made it sound A LOT rasiper then it was. This was before resonator. I had pacesetter header, high flow cat, crush bent 2.25id pipe to the 4inch tipped "the one" brand muffler(apex n1 style).
Point is a resonator will get rid of any unwanted "rasp". Get the longest resonator u want, and just pick a muffler u visually like.
O really well that's good news cause that raspy crackly sound is so annoying and I was nervous about the exhaust system I was going to put in but that's great news

That's what I'm talking about. I really like the sound of them.
I think ima go with a magnaflow muffler they have the deepest nicest tone ive heard so far and maybe a cherry bomb glasspack as a resonator and a magnaflow hi-flow cat. I think that will sound great and give some performance boost as well. What you guys think?
The Magnaflow does sound really good on these cars. Their cat doesn't eat any HP, either.
Uhhhh okay so the better the flow of the whole exhaust system the more "ricey" it sounds honestly. A solid exhaust system on a 4banger will have a bit of rasp. If u get 2inch exhaust then ut won't be as prevalent. Just think about it, all 4banger sound the same at high rpm just different pitches and tones. Just pick a muffler, get a 2.25 inch exhaust and a long&good resonator and ill be fine.
Also incar and out of car videos make exhaust notes sound different.
OK I didn't know that so you think the set up I sed earlier is gonna sound good its a few post back?
