Ok, here is the deal, after driving for 3+ hrs from St Thomas to Whitby, I started to get annoyed with my muffler. I had a major headache and hearing the muffler that loud wasn't helping. I need to change it. I don't want to spend a whole lot on a new one, but I do want a quiet muffler but not a restrictive one.

Any help would be grateful on suggestions on what to get. I will be going to a Auto Accessories in Whitby to see what they have, but I am open to suggestions.

Key words cheap and not loud!

What kind of muffler do you currently have?

I hear the replica Mugen Twin Loop mufflers are really quiet.

Maybe the real Mugens are.

I have the Ractive replica TL and I think its pretty quiet, much quieter than my bros lousy farty Ractive exhaust. Its totally drivable and not too loud, but obviously a bit louder then the stock exhaust. I have the IHE and its still quiet.

I suggest you look into those TL designs.

Double_B

Sounds good. I have a Ractive muffler on the car now.

BTW Tego, I didn't even get to meet you at St Thomas, even though I saw you all over the place.

Cayuga bro!

What am I looking at for the TL design mufflers?

Tego

Haha I know man, there was so many people there...I'm going to try and meet more members....its really hard when there's 42 members there.

Maybe I should check out the official meets sometimes.

maybe install a resonator... or silencer...
is is just a muffler you have brian?

Double_B

Yep, and I don't have the holes to put one on. As far as I am concerned, I would put a oem muffler on, but don't really want to.

Dynomax Ultraflow all the way, flat black with a nice tip on the end, sounds great and looks stock

Double_B

But does it sound nice and not too loud? I don't want a loud muffler anymore. What's the cost on those Matt? Been looking at the affiliates, Pro parts have some tunables for 90 bucks. Oh yeah, I am look for cheap too.

DC2 ITR or DC5 ITR mufflers. OEM and big enough piping. That's what I would do if I were you.

Double_B

so getting a DC muffler I would need to change my piping? Thanks Charles, but I just want to change my existing one and get a quiet one with minimal cost.

Nova_Dust

I think the mid-pipe stays, just the axle back piping might need some work. But there are some good number of Civics with ITR mufflers already modified to fit either hatch or sedan. So I think it wouldn't be that hard to source out one.

Give it a try. It might just work.

Double_B

What am I looking at for cost Charles?

Double_B

Cool. Just did a search for Dynomax dealers, all seem to be at Speedy. I will check it out tomorrow.

Thanks guys for all your help.

imported_loudsubz

you can also buy dynomax at Partsource or CT i belive, and from driverfx.ca

Double_B

Ok, will check that out now online, make some calls tomorrow and hopefully get something done this weekend.

Thanks again Matt.

BTW, Charles told me to hit you up to help me do my suspension next year when I buy my coilovers. Something about lots of beers and working on the cars...........

imported_loudsubz
