Running Full Piping + Test Pipe + Stock Rear Mufflers

yonseispeed · 10-27-2009, 03:12 AM

Just wondering if anyone has tried running a larger piping with a test pipe, while running stock rear mufflers. Is there that horrible tin can whine sound like you hear on all the EK and EG guys who do the same thing?

But, isn't w00ted boosted? That changes the sound a lot if he is.

people might not know this but turbo cars can run straight pipe and they dont sound as loud as a straight pipe all motor car.. turbo cars makes less noise.

Some Turbo cars would run an restricted muffler for back pressure and boost. I was thinking about doing the set up since I do not want huge cannisters and wont be running a rear lip. Just dont want that Tin can sound.

run the test pipe, remove the pre-cat muffler and weld a replacement tube, and see what sounds you get. supposedly, it's not very 'tinny' at all.

this is actually my plan I want to order the wepon r header test pipe and do 2.5 piping all the way back too stock mufflers. and maybe just add s2000 tips.. do it so i know if i like the sound or not lol

I dont think it will be very "tiny" or weed wackerish.

The Weapon R Combo is pretty expensive compared to when Marcus first got them

.
That was exactly my plan a2dadamm.

Thanks for the feedback guys, doing some research now on the best way.

I think there were around 550-600$? I'm 100% sure if I'm correct though. I do remember they were cheaper than the 650 now.

I have an 09 tsx, and i removed the secondary cat and replaced the stock resonator with a magnaflow which flows better. the car start up is almost like stock and normal driving is nice, you cannt tell differance much, just sounds a deeper. when u get on it is when you can reallyyyy hear it. the only thing i do not like is there is a rattle in the muffler, im not sure if that is what you are refering to, the shop said that is due to i free'd up the exhaust but the sound is now bouncing around in the stock mufflers

it is only noticable at low rpms, not above 2800 or so.

im thinking about running the comptech mufflers and putting the silencers in, to keep a nice deep tone that is not much louder than stock. or if i get enough people, than ATLP will build an exhaust system for the 2nd gen

yeah thats the raspyness were talking about. some ppl like it some dont. put a sound clip up if you can and dont mind.. give us an idea kinda..

I wouldn't bother with all the resonators or just mufflers. Simply build a new, custom, single outlet cat-back if u want sound and performance. Muffler does not have to cost a lot, but do NOT go cheap with resonators. Stick with Magnaflow.

Resonator resonates that high pinched, farty sound that our engines make and turns it into deeper, more mellow sound. It does 80% of the job of making the car sound good.

All the mufflers do is muffling/silencing. Even if you get a $50 muffler from Autozone and pair it up with a good Magnaflow resonator, it will sound good..... If you really wasnt a flashy, very deep sounding muffler, go for one of the HKS mufflers.
