Muffler
 
I recentally got a 3A racing muffler , i was looking under my 2003 civic sedan and i noticed their's 2 mufflers or 1 muffler and 1 resignator. If remove both will my car still pass emitions with just the 3A racing muffler.

Resignator Has Nothing To Do With Smog Just Swap Mufflers And You Should Be Fine

so i have a muffler and a resignator, if i remove both and replace it with the 3A racing muffler i'll still pass emissions ?

The catalytic converter is what you don't want to remove.

So yes you should be able to pass emissions.
A decibel test is a different story...

BTW it's a resonator not resignator. removing it would, make your exhaust loud and raspy.

Not sure I would save up money for those. Money could be better spent on our cars than on expensive exhausts.

yes, if you remove both you'll be fine....as long as you dont take off the cat there's nothing to worry about.

can any one sugest a muffler that has a verry good sound and that has a tip diameter of 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 something in that range.

i have a hayame 3.5 tip 2.5 diameter cat back and it sounds awesome. not too loud deep tone. cant hear it too much at idle but when i open it up its nice! megan header and hi flow test pipe too.

and if you add the price of the muffler 50-100$ plus getting your stock system fabricated at midas taking out the resonator and adding 2 1/4 from the cut back to the muffler to match the mufflers input diamater about a 95$ job plus hangers 5-10$ you are looking at 150$-205$ for twice or less you can get a performance proven quality cat back exhaust with warranty that you are going to end up wanting later anyway.....just my opinion

i have an 02 civic ex with a magnaflow exhaust system and it sounds great. i like it beacuse its not to loud but sounds alot better than the stock.

I have an 02 civic with a greddy evo exhaust, it sounds awsome and looks mean as hell. Deep throaty sound when I get on it and quiet at idle
