Title: Removing Resonator or Muffler? Post by: Arielit0oo on May 08, 2011, 09:09:05 PM What's up guys. I've been inactive for a while b.c. I moved from NY to Washington state, (Yeah, the westtttt coast).
So yeah, what I want to ask you guys is...I've been thinking about having a nice deep growl/drone to my car. My car currently only gets loud when I step on it (DC headers, K&N sri, TSX intake manifold) but, I now want something coming from my exhaust. I've looked up threads on other forums about this topic and all say, it sounds nice. Its a deep tone or growl, and not to loud(some cases of rasp but rare). Also, minimal HP gains, but thats not my aim. I wanted to ask my accord team before I did anything. P.S.: My car is a 2005 Honda accord Thanks guys Title: Re: Removing Resonator or Muffler?

Post by: 06RockHead on January 27, 2013, 11:11:10 PM Any idea what kind of result i would get by removing the resonators on my J leaving the stock mufflers? When i start the car theres a hint on something good.

Title: Re: Removing Resonator or Muffler? Post by: 06RockHead on January 27, 2013, 11:39:29 PM ok so just more sound. i dont want to end up with too little back pressure
Title: Re: Removing Resonator or Muffler? Post by: fatbastard on February 07, 2013, 01:25:30 AM too little back pressure is good. what you don't want is too little exhaust velocity.
Title: Re: Removing Resonator or Muffler? Post by: 06RockHead on February 07, 2013, 01:48:58 AM Ok um ? So basically to large a diameter pipe is the only possible bad thing?
Title: Re: Removing Resonator or Muffler? Post by: CrackerTeg on February 07, 2013, 01:58:15 AM Sort of. There's a lot more to it than just that. I can write novels on it but thankfully, the internets and experienced builders have already done it for me.

Title: Re: Removing Resonator or Muffler? Post by: fatbastard on March 10, 2013, 01:21:37 PM so did you just take out the resonator or replaced the whole exhaust?
