i will be adding a straight pipe to my FB, and i was wondering if i should get a resonator for it? what do yall think and why?

 

Wait... JUST a straight pipe?

No, don't. It will be so incredibly loud you will kill yourself.

Even a fart cannon is quieter. I ended up adding 2 mufflers after I tried a straight pipe. It was downright obnoxious.

 

i do have a muffler sorry

 

Unless you like really loud cars, get one now. I started off with a straight pipe from my headers to a magnaflow on my SA, and it was way too loud. Last summer, I added a bullet style resonator after the header, and it`s still a little loud for my taste. So I just got a bigger res, 4"x9"x12". I haven`t had time to install it yet, but should make a bit of a difference.

 

Theres a reason RB has 2 resonators in their performance exhaust systems for the street.

 

no straight pipe trust me, i got a set of RB headers, found out my cat was gutted so i decided to straight pipe it to an ebay fart can being i didn't have enough cash at the time to get anything else, worst decission ever, it's TOOOOOOOO loud, i've actually stopped driving it because the neighbors give me dirty looks when i have to go to work at 7:30 a.m. on saturdays and wake them up, or come home late and wake them up, cops will follow me forever and every civic out there wants to race me now lol, hopefully i'll have that fixed within the next couple of days lol.

 

im glad i read this the guy who had my car before me put a honda crv resonator on my car i looked at it today thought about cutting it off toc what it sounded like (i think illleave it on now) mine is str8 pipe to the resonator (no cat) and a little muffler still a lil loud but i like it

 

thank you all for your help/stories/opinions. i really do appreciate your feedback, i will be doing the resonator.

i will be using a racing beat header, resonator, straight pipe to the Furai muffler

thanks again,
Ivan

 

Take a vid of it when it's done, I'm interested in hearing it. It might still be pretty loud.

 

As you know from experience ivan i run my fb w/o a muffler at all since my intermediate pipe rusted clean off haha. I do have 3 cats however... Oh well, can't wait to hear it tomorrow night.

 

I have RB header to RB muffler, with nothing but straight pipe in between. Its pretty quiet, almost too quiet for my liking.
