Quiet Cat-Back Exhaust

[curtis265]

if a car flies past witha cannon and it's dead silent, police become suss.

that's if they even notice

You can modify it to fit.

Im probably the only fool still stuck on thinking about the the headers lol.

Lol I'm trying to give more rep to the both of you but also need to spread it around first.

Thanks, Honda_FD. I was thinking oval, too. Not a fan of cannons. Which model did you buy and where did you get it installed?

I got my at TruFlow in Deerpark. He distributes for Varex/xForce and Redback exhausts.

My ones VMK10-250. Go on the Varex website and have a browse. Mines nice but the tip could be better. its just a straight tip

Firstly whats your location and budget? We can suggest a few good exhaust shops.

IMO, I'd go for a custom 2" or 2.25" mandrel bent mild steel exhaust, hi flow cat, one or two resonators and a twin loop/oval muffler or something restrictive.
Performance wise wouldn't be much, but it'll feel slightly better in the high rpm range.

I'd suggest pairing the exhaust with a good air filter setup with cold air feed and those electronic throttle controllers for better response.

I like this idea but definitely 2.25". Honestly don't bother with a 2".

[u mad?]

My exchaust setup is a Varex Muffler (Has a butterfly valve to control the volume)
with the mid resonator removed and a Short Ram intake system.
When the exhaust is fully opened car sounds AWESOME! Like an actual JDM K20 but without the loud vtec crossover.
Fully closed is slightly louder than stock.

Power wise. No real performance upgrade but with the exhaust opened you can feel that its a lot smoother throughout the revs

that sound pretty good actually

[NeedVtec]

Don't need to spend heaps, chop off that mid resonator and weld a muffler on. Sounds good, cost me 100 including the xforce twinloop

Did you put a muffler in or did you chop it off and put a straight pipe, Like me lol
I still haven't heard your car!

[NeedVtec]

Straight pipe instead of resonator/muffler. Did you hear it when we drove to he charity meet?

I didnt go. My brother went with the car though.
Dont like going meets.

say what?

OP, it would be ideal to check out cars both irl and Youtube to gain an idea what you consider to be quiet and acceptable.

For example for me:
NB - Might not apply to FD1, this is based on my experience across older models of Hondas
NB - Some of the exhaust I've experienced

These are just some example of exhaust you could base your own system on. Some research on exhaust will help you decide what size, material, sections [Resonators, Muffler, Cannon] and specs you need. You might want to check out something like HKS ES Premium, Mugen Twinloop and Honda Type R exhaust. They may have a more complex design but might give you some inspiration to give you power, noise and comfort without needed a variable system like the X-Force Varex You might not apply this to your FD but it'll help you with other cars in the future

Power Getter is awesome IMO. Perfect combination of tone and noise etc. Looks great.
