Resonator?
 

i just want to know if i get 2.25 custom midpipe, is it a wise idea to use the stock resonator? or get the aftermarket one?
if getting the aftermarket resonator is the way to go, then what brand should i get? any specific size or model is designed for our cars?
btw, i drive a 2001 civic sedan (1.7 non vtec)

get the magnaflow cat back!!hehe or dont use resonator at all, yo, u going to meet today?

i already got my eyes on a muffler so i wont get Magnaflow cat back...but thanx for the hint macrossranma
and i can't make it to the meet.

so anyone else can help me answer my question?

what kind of exhaust are u using? and u should get the exhaust and get a straight pipe with no resonator.... because u will still have a cat in ur headers....

I have 2.25" piping with no resonator...

You don't need the resonator, but if you decide to keep it on your sound/airflow will decrease by 15-25%. (Do not quote me on this)

What kind of muffler are you getting? If you're getting a "quiet" one, ditch the resonator. If you're getting something like an N1 (loud), i'd say keep it...

i am getting the Mugen Twin Loop muffler....so should i use the resonator or dont need one?

You don't need the resonator..

ok...but it wouldnt hurt if i keep the stock resonator? cuz cops around my area are D ick and as soon as they see civic with exhaust they will give out meaningless ticket for excessive noise

If you want it loud then leave the resonator off. If you want it quieter then keep the resonator on. The end.

twin loop won't be loud..so take off the reson

i just put my resonator back on...i gotta ticket last month for for exhaust...the cop said he can hear my car 3 blocks away...hahahaha...it is pretty loud and gets annoying too...but with the resonator on and my revolution exhaust there isn't much noise but i'm there for the looks of a shiny muffler in the back and not the alarm setting off noise...peace
