tin can filled with pissed bees
i recently put on a 4-1 header, 2.5 inch downpipe. ive had a custom catback with 2.25 with a obx-r canister muffler.... i also have no cat anymore and it sounds way too ricey right now. what would my best bet be? tanabe? n-1? thermal? i need something that will give me some backpressure back. any ideas?

Rep Power: 0 I had the same problem with my N-1, it was way to raspy. I had a resonator welded in for 20 bux and it took the rasp away and also softened the resonance in the car. From Idle to 3k it is deep throaty and from 4-7k (WOT) all i can hear is the intake, the exhaust resonance is gone. Try welding in a resonator...it's a pretty cheap date. good luck
I would think flowmaster 60 series would give you most backpressure since its not straight through
even tho everyone here here is against flowmaster, i might get a setup whats 200 bucks

say no to the wasabe tanabe and say yes to the Apexi N1...i'd prefer the entire catback not just the muffler...all ur doin' wit custom pipes is losin quality of the sound when u slap on a muffler...get the complete Apexi N1 Catback Exhaust...u can't go wrong! i've got it on my car...sounds sWeet!

Rep Power: 0 2.5" Pipe for one is too big...2.25" pipe is as big as you'll ever need for an N/A 4 banger... you probably lost bottom and top end power with your exhaust setup and made it rediculously loud.. Cut down to 2" or 2.25" Mandrel bent piping. The downpipe instead of a cat is fine, but the gain is pretty minimal on an EX...on a DX/LX with the dual cats it can free up 2-3 Ponies...
A Resonator and smaller piping is your sulution.. Gor for a complete cat-back exhaust system..

Rep Power: 330 When I ordered my HPR 4-1 header I also ordered one of there mid sections (requires axle back) and had a custom axle back made w/ my AC Revolution muffler. Its nice because I can always put the silencer back into my muffler when the sound gets annoying. You could try installing on of thoose arospeed exhaust control valves, but I dont know where u can buy them anymore.
