The sound of a DC5

[dagher23q]

Hey guys,

Last night i drove my friends FN2 civic type R, i absolutely fell in love! One thing that particularly caught my attention was the noise, it was absolutely silent until the revs got towards vtec.

This got me thinking, is there anyway i could make my dc5r similar in that regard? Through exhaust setup etc?

Almost everything you have has the opposite affect you're after...

LOL i know, hence i wanna change it

Well the Intake will be a constant noise so that'll have to go... Stock Airbox + Piping w/ Panel Filter [K&N for example]

Exhaust wise I'm unsure of the characteristics of your setup but Fujitsubo Legalis-R and RM01A are pretty quiet till your give it same as TODA High Power to an extent.

Headers and Hi-Flow CAT shouldn't make THAT much of a difference... But it still makes it louder overall...

Ill look into it, i've been recommended a mugen twin loop? thoughts?

Mugen Twin Loop similar to FGK Legalis-R so you're in good hands =)

Mugrn twin loop is very very quite. Rm01a had a nice tone to it. I had a toda on my car and that sounds amazing. Quiet when you want but when you open up the throttle the sound is just amazing. Reason i have it for sale now as ive got a titanium amuse r1 which is quite loud. If you want sonething nice you cant go past the powergetter, toda or rm01a. The spoon n1 is quite loud id say its louder than the amuse. But then again ive got toda headers and gruppe m intake as well

What's your friends set up?

Probably change your cat back system with something along the lines of a Fujitsubo powergetter/rm01a or like hau said his Toda exhaust. These exhausts are quite down low end but are loud higher rpm. I have injen cai/tegiwa 4-2-1 headers+100cel highflow cat/powergetter and it's quiet low end and loud through out the higher rpm range.

If you want a quieter set up, I recommend the buddyclub pro spec 3. Quietest exhaust ever made specifically targeting drivers who want something more subtle. It's quieter than a stock exhaust setup. (srs)

I dont think it is andy. Ive heard it in person and its not that quiet. The sound does change depending on the headers and intake you choose too. For a relatively quiet exhaust then the fujistubo power getter or the toda. They are both very quiet exhausts. If you want loud then the buddyclub spec 3 and skunk2 exhausts are one of the loudest out there.
