Getting rid of Cat-back exhaust

[nilsonov]

This thing is annoyingly loud. To go get back to oem specs, can I just cut it off at the muffler and clamp on an OEM muffler? This would leave a wider than stock section of pipe between the muffler and the cat...shouldn't be a problem, right?

ps - if anyone wants a cheap cat back exhaust, let me know

Im not 100 percent sure, but usually when you have larger piping leading to the stock muffler, an annoying buzzing sound occurs. Just have heard/seen it in the past.

Which catback is it? And try throwing a silencer on it before getting rid of it if possible.

Yes, brand of exhaust will help. Also does the car have an aftermarket header? I know that the OBX will drone when matched with certain exhausts.

 

[nilsonov]

no clue what brand exhaust. I'll take a look tonight. Stock headers and everything else though.

Where would the silencer go? It is cheaper than $52? Thats the cost of new muffler.

if you currently don't have a resonator on it, that would be the first think I'd recommend...

exactly! add a resonator or two. if it still isnt quiet then add a ws2 style muffler(obx has one that is quiet). you can try finding a oem mazda muffler that is bigger and higher flowing (maybe from a mazda 6?)


i ran a custom 2.5 inch catback to a oem s2000 muffler on my accord(with h22a) and you couldnt hear it one bit.

Megan is one of the louder exhausts.....

Pick up a silencer, or pull it and offer trade for a local guy for his stock setup till you can source a racing Beat
