So....2.25" back from a Spoon high-flow cat (thats bolted onto an ebay header) to my APC muffler. All mandrel bent, no resonator YET (gonna get a Magnaflow soon enough), but for the time being i'm not satisfied with it. The sound is still kind of raspy and not as low as i wish it was. I guess i was kind of setting myself up for that though with the crappy muffler and no res, but still disappointed nonetheless...

well heres a driveby and a rev anyway [&:]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luNTqwRjDLE

the camera has REALLY bad sound, its not really as raspy as the video makes it out to be

[sm=shootshoot.gif]kill that chet!

it doesn't sound THAT bad... although it can be a lot deeper

oh my god.... wow just wow...[:'(]

I'd take it off at least until you get the resonator

...take what off Mobsta? lol its on there to stay. Kinda wish it wasnt though :eek:

get paid tomorrwo though....maybe i'll order the res then

It's not bad, but I am not a big fan of the raspy-crackling exhaust sound...sounds a bit to ricey

^ yea me niether man., i'm defiantely not a fan of my exhaust at this point in time

Resonator may do the trick for the raspiness. Also could be the APC muffler. I'm not too sure on how well they're produced. I know from experience you get what you pay for with mufflers.

aside from the raspy sound at the higher RPM's,i wouldnt say its that bad....its far better than some ive heard, with that raspy sound on the entire RPM spectrum....hopfully the res will help u out

yeah man, just stick with it...these things can be changed, also I was looking through your gallery and I really like that shift light, where did you get it and how much did you pay for it?

just off ebay man. It said it lit up blue and it actually lights up purple, but i think it looks sick either way. Just wire the three wires of it into 12V +, ground, and then into your tach. Its adjustable too, i have mine set really low for daily driving though

My stock exhaust with a sportbike muffler sounds better than that thing lol. I need to get a soundclip.

Get that resonator put on and u'll be fine. Mine sound kinda like that before with the MagnaFlow muffler, but gotten a resonator put on and the DC headers. Now its deep tone.
I'm going to change the MAGNAFLOW to an Apexi N1

Chin up. It really not that bad. I have heard WAY worse.


BTW, where did you get your fish eye?

Haha, I loved watching you run into your car after setting the camera down. You must be freezing your ass off.

Get a silencer.

I gotta get me one of them cameras so you guys can hear mine.

got the fisheye off Ebay. Its just a Kenko wide angle lense with the macro removed (and i had to get an adapter ring for my camera). Cant wait til i get my res though. And Rabbit yeah i was freezing my ass off

Dude, what did you expect when using nothing but knock off parts and no resonator. I know not everyone can afford a top of line exhaust system, but at this rate you're going to end up spending more moeny in the long run than you would have if you'd just picked up a well priced catbasck (megan racing) and a high flow cat.

Really not trying to be a douche, but, you get what you pay for

+1

i know Forty, i even said in my very first post thati set myself up for the sh*tty sound :eek:but maybe the Magnaflow res will do the trick, and what would you guys suggest for high quality muffler? Not lookin to spend $300 on a GReddy muffler, but something better than ebay maybe?

magnaflow, megan

that look legit? ^ or does that look like another knock off

what happened to this plan? http://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_325206/tm.htm


and what did you pay for your whole setup now

that looks legit to me, should be better quality

well i got Spoon instead of randoms, still got 2.25" piping, and as for the res and the muffler, i had a big old hole in my stock exhaust pipe so i needed the new piping ASAP. Didnt want to pay for the hole to get patched and then replace the piping in a few weeks anyway, so i cut corners and paid for it:eek:still gonna get the Magnaflow res, and the low priced GReddy muffler i was gonna get is no longer for sale, so i'm lookin for another low price one

*cough*its not a spoon*cough*

yeah i remember u tellin me that now [&:]

lmao, fortys on fire today

i knwo man, Forty's breakin my balls today for real :(

Get a twin loop muffler...i've heard good things about those

i knwo man, Forty's breakin my balls today for real :(


sorry man, just saving you the embarrasment down the road when you're at a meet/show or something and you tell people you're rocking a "spoon high flow cat."

not to bust more balls or jack, but where did you even find a spoon high flow cat converter, i cant find one

i thoguht it was a generic kind, then it came and it said Spoon Sports on it. idk, i just used Google and found it on some website.

and i know Tony, thanks for the feedback anyway bro :)

The car will sound a lot better once you get the Resonator on.

Personally man, if i had of know what you were getting i would have warneds ya, APC may as well just rename their company to "ARC(American Rice Parts)" and Magnaflow exhaust for a Civic i think sounds like ass

well driving it today sounds ALOT better. Either my ears have gotten used to the rice, or its getting "broken in" or something....idk, is it possible the pipes were all new or something and just needed to get used a little bit? Never heard of that, but is it a possbility?

I say swap the muffler.... I wouldn't trust and apc to sound good... try a dnx muffler... mine sound great (though I have duals)... I'll get a sound clip up someday lol

***EDIT***

Sound clips are on my cardomain page... http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2181239/5

i know eh? its been so cold all the carwashes are frozen and aren't open haha

hey flip,

this guy on H-T sells twin loop mufflers.

the brand is *SNL and they have to be imported. the seller's screen name is eskay.

He said in this post that he was going to try and import some more.


http://www.hondamarketplace.com/zerothread?id=1444528&page=22

i tried emailing him but he hasn't responded yet.

the muffler sounds GOOD, and the best part is that they only cost $75.

I'm gonna buy one if they guy ever gets some more.

i'll look into that Byers :)i've actually been really considernig a twin loop for the last couple of days now....

haha thread from the dead....changed the name on it too. Heres the resonator, 22" Magnaflow with 2.25" inlet/outlet. Installing tomororw at 3, i'll have sound clips up tomororw night too.

sweet, hopefull it will sound much better for your sake.

I wonder if after all this, the ws2 i'm getting would be cheaper?

i cant wait to hear it

damn that thing is big...< thats what she said...........hopefully it will make a better sound!! lol

well muffler: $30
Cat: $30
Piping/Labor: $180
Resonator: $60

$300 right? Hmm....about how much a quality catback is, plus i got somethin custom :)

plus no shipping ;]

^ although with the Apexi catback i could have installed it myself and saved on labor....i'm glad i took the route i did, i definately learned what to do and what not to do as far as exhaust goes :eek:(haha mostly what not to do)

u should get a neutron muffler i got 1 and it sounds clean and not raspy or too high pitched ....but i dont have headers and still have my stock resinator:eek:

and yea i know its a ricer brand but it sounds good

never heard of neutron. My header really didnt make much of a difference sound-wise, intake did though. How much did u pay for it?

i dunno it came with the car when i bought it but it says neutRon motorsports on it

they have a web site its www.neutronmotorsports.com (http://www.neutronmotorsports.com) mines the (ntr111)

woowoo! Magnaflow resonator installed today, $25 and my cars sounds TOTALLY different. Heres a pic of the install:
