exhaust too louddd
hey i have an 03 civic ex. when i first got the car i put a fireball style muffler on it, looked really good, and really wasnt loud at all. A few months later i decided to go to a local shop and get a custom catback put in. After the job, i get in my car, start it up, pull away and i can barely hear my radio the exhaust is so loud. Ends up they took out my resonator. I didnt know that would make such a big deal! (this being really my first car that i'm doing stuff to). So anyways, i put in the silencer and have been living with it for the past 6 months or so. Its still loud, especially on the highway and anywhere over 4k rpm its intolerable ( at least for me, hah). Basicly what i would like to know is, if i were to just get my stock exhaust welded back on would it make a big enough difference even though there is no resonator? i would like to keep my current exhaust on since it looks very good, so anyone have a resonator laying around tehy wanna sell? lol..if not, any recommendations on any good high flow queit mufflers? any help would be appreciated..
oh yeah and check out the car, tell me what you think..

just get a resonator put back in and you should be alot better with that if not go with the stealth look and use the ES OVAL. I had that on my 94 with a 2.5 inch cat back exhaust and a resonator it sounded great. Hope that helps.
