i have a spot around here, i could buy a oem stock integra muffler, but would it quiet down atleast alittle. its soo loud, but i love how it pulls now....

Arthas

You could try getting a resonated test pipe, or install a resonator to your exhaust system. Pep Boys sells them for like $30.

I hear catalytic converters work well. And they don't kill babies.

b20bFourDoorCivicLX

oh no we got a tree huger in here...lol


anyway, so installling a exhaust(stock) wont help quit down the sound

Arthas

Yes it will.


Do you have a muffler? or is it straight pipe from the header back.

b20bFourDoorCivicLX

its a straight f-n pipe all the way from the headers to the back(loud *** hell). no exhaust system at all. so i wont waste money if i go install a stock(exhaust) i dont want no fart cannon just stock. ill even throw a silencer on it if i can

Arthas

Yeah throw on the stock exhaust, itll be much better.

Or you can install a muffler and a resonator. Either would be great.

Why in the hell would you do that? lmao.

On my Prelude I ran a cat, resonator and otherwise straight exhaust. Sounded great, wasnt raspy or too loud at all. I also had a H23 in it though, makes a big difference :D

doood

so you're running a straight pipe with no muffler, cat, or resonator; it's too loud, and you're wondering if a muffler will make it quieter? did i read that right?

b20bFourDoorCivicLX

to the 2 guys up their. what do you not get. i have a straight f-n pipe, and wondering if i install a stock exhaust will it quiet it down, if u want to throw ur low blows go somewhere

DELshaneSOL

Don't you know what a stock exhaust sounds like?
Of course it will f-n quit it down what dont you get

A stock exhaust has a cat and a muffler why wouldn't it be quit.

b20bFourDoorCivicLX

Wtf u think I don't kno wat a stock exhaust sounds like.ahaha funny guy here. Maybe ur the one who doesn't understand my question. What I ask was putting a stock exhaust(no fart caN) minus the cat. Will it help the sound at all?

DELshaneSOL

A stock exhaust dosnt have a fart can

Stop talking **** to people that are trying to help, put more info in your questions
And it's header not headers

b20bFourDoorCivicLX

header,i call it what i want, if you want to correct my spelling become moderator and start giving people grades on their spelling lol

second, arthas already explained to me that it would help to get a exhaust system...i always thought when people went straight pipe it meant all the way from the header"to the bumper

NemesisCBR

imo a straight pipe is a exhaust system... just one that ignores sound and emissions.

You act like people are talking crazy when the things theyre saying are quite logical. A stock exhaust system uses a cat, resonators and a muffler, of which you say you know what it sounds like. Do u know why it sounds like that? (insert answer) Now do u know(understand) why your system is so loud? (apply logic here) The two systems i just referenced are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Any of the suggestions given will put you somewhere between those two ends.

Now i want to ask. Why go so free flow only to throw on a bottle neck stock muffler on the end? Do you understand what the result could be? If you didnt want it loud you chose an entirely wrong route to go. I went with a stock type r exhaust for this reason. Aside from the suggestions given to you earlier i would read up some more on exhaust size and performance. Theres a really great in depth article on team integra.

Arthas

If you install a stock exhaust with no cat, it will be louder than stock, but it will be much quieter than it is now.

b20bFourDoorCivicLX

' i get you and i apologize to anyone who was just tryin to help i didnt mean to snap at you...., i know what your saying, i just needed to get new piping done, old piping was dragging every time i went down a drive and it was old and rusted as ****, so i went and got new piping down for real cheap im just trying to decide witch muffle to go with to quiet down my straight new pipe, i dont want to use a cat, ill use a resonator and a stock exhaust tip ....im just hoping its not as loud as it is now..****in race car status....

If you have a high flow cat and a 2.5" exhaust with a twin loop muffler you will have better performance AND lower noise than the system you are proposing.

b20bFourDoorCivicLX

dont get me wrong if i had the money i would go all out, but i got this straight pipe done for only a 80 real cheap a friend of mine
im on a budget, im going to go to my local performance parts store next week payday buy a stock exhaust tip for my integra, go to my local muffler shop have them weld it on and put a resonator hope it quiets it down JUST A LITTLE

koss1229

People use straight pipe exhaust to eliminate flow restrictions, such as: cat, resonator, muffler.
You spent $80 to make you a straight pipe and now you want to pay more to install the flow restriction that was on your car before.
The whole maneuver doesn't make sense.
If you want a muffler, at least get a high flow muffler. Greddy EVO2 and Apexi WS2 sound really well.
This same rule applies to all modifications you are looking to make to your car - cheap pays twice. Better save some money and get a quality part right away. I learned the hard way...

b20bFourDoorCivicLX

but like i said, i did this to get rid of my old rusted,hanging, clogged cat exhaust system.

so i decided **** it go straight pipe,. im just in the market now for a quieter exhaust tip , {note the title of thread} im trying to keep it straight pipe without the cat so i get better air flow ....

what i plan on doing...thank you athas ...and everyone for your advice
