Noisy Muffler

[freakatronic]

I've got a 3" magnaflow muffler on my dc2 and I hate the damned thing. It's not so much loud, it just drones. The only time it sounds good is when I take my car past 6000rpm...
Got any suggestions if I want a quiet muffler that still sounds good when I'm driving hard? What would a second hand stock one cost, and would I lose power?

i personally thing honda's are more about induction sound than exhaust noise
get a cai or just a pod and hear the engine sing :)

and to answer your other questions, you can try getting a dc2r muffler if you can, should be bolt on if you still have a stock b-pipe i think
price wise i'm not too sure, and with power i don't think you'll lose enough to feel it

What size muffler is it?

Are you running a centre muffler. If not, get a good quality 7 inch offset and this would take away alot of the drone but still retain a good sound!

[bungsai]

agreed you could try running a midmuffler or getting a hot dog, but if budget is in the way i would just look at getting an ITR muffler or even a vtir one. The ITR one naturally is better.

If you have the spare ball have a look at the twin loop style mufflers.

you probably won't lose much power as you don't have that many other mods apart from your exhaust.

simply just put a twinloop style muffler on and u will still get some sport exhaust note and not loud at all

[freakatronic]

How much do you think a twinloop style thing is? I've never heard of them...can you tell me more? Also, what would a good condition ITR muffler set me back? Thanks for all the useful replies ;)

twinloop yo (http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=45609)
i wouldn't pay more than $80 for a good condition itr axel back(muffler + tubing to bolt on to b-pipe)

[freakatronic]

Wouldn't a twin loop make more back pressure or something and slow the engine down? Hahaha...you guys are gonna kill me...

[bungsai]

the twin loop flows OK, like i said you wont notice a BIG difference by your BUTT dyno.

twin loop $190 or so + 50-100 for fitting.

a type r one is $100-$150 and should bolt on.

Anyone out there know where I could find a second hand ITR muffler? In good condition, but still a reasonable price. You might just have a buyer...

As for BUNGSAI...your work never fails to impress me.

Sounds like you want what I have, A Spoon Street axle back muffler, mines bolted onto the stock b pipe and is just perfect. Expect $400+ second hand or $900 new. Got mine from JDMyard ages ago.

[freakatronic]

Are you kidding?! I may be a newb, but I still know I can't afford Spoon...

[bungsai]

can't ball on a budget my friend.

[freakatronic]

Telling me. You know what? Maybe I'll just get some 1" copper pipe from my work, steal some solder, and knock up my own pencil sized noise limiting exhaust...
