Exhaust setup for b16a2

[Cyclone21]

I want a full headers>back exhaust setup, this is what I want:
Performance
Reasonably stock looks (I dont want a 10" tip, but a nice, subtle tip is fine)
A nice sound (my sound atm is very nice).

People always saying 2.25" Mandrel Bent, with two resonators and a Bullet Style muffler..

What I want to know, is what specific resonators exactly people reccomend, and what specific mufflers people reccomend. I want to do this once and do it right, thanks.

Ok same motor for me.

Id like to do this but really cant affor dit at the moment.

Just out of interest any suggestions on this, approx whats it gonna cost?

[BIG...H]

i pay 1500 to get a TRR4-2-1 extractor, 2.25" mandrel bent exhausr and TRR muffler from beyond i don know it was a gd deal or not!! It depends on how much can u pay :wink:

[Xsi]

It cost me around 250 for mandrel bent 2.25 inch pipe and two resonators from Magoo, and it is LOUD . It would pay to get the longest resonators you can get, or even try 3. I'm gonna get a third one put in coz mines annoying. I have straight through resonators with holes on the inside, the other ones quieten better but are more obstructive.

My DA8 is going to "The Garage" next week for a bit of exhaust work.

2.25" mandrel bent exhaust tubing
Coby resonator
RPS stainless steel muffler

[SoL]

i have a resonator that replaced the cat, and another long one in the middle, both standard coby resonators

with a stainless straight through N1 type mufller on the back... 2.25in... ok in terms of loudness.. but important thing is it does not crackle when vtec kicks in like some others...

[Cyclone21]

SoL what brand of muffler is it? A friend of mine has a muffler that was on his Prelude when it was shipped from Japan, and it sounds like a buzzy bee when it hits VTEC, exactly what I dont want.

Big H: What is the TRR muffler like, is that an N1 style muffler, good performance or?

Come on guys, more input on your muffler and resonators setup for b16a/b16a2 (1600 DOHC VTEC) engines!

I want to know what is the good muffler and resonators to go for performance and a nice sound (and no I didn't just win lotto, so am still on a semi-budget like all of us!)

[BIG...H]

Cyclone21: yes, they are N1 type!! and beyond sell them only 250(incl gst) 8) i don know the performance cos i will get it done on next tuesday!! when i get it done, i will tell u :wink:

If you don't mind me asking how much is that going to cost you DA8! ?

Got (very narrowly) beaten by a SOHC VTEC EG Civic last night, must make my car faster

sol was the rest of yer exhaust sys standard and the long resonator in the middle was that the stock one that SiR sols have?
im about to get a new system put in coz me cat converter is rooted

[Tegstardelux]

i've put a rage stainless steel muffler in feb, quite a nice sound which changes over the first couple weeks , and now i think it's finally settled into a nice deep sound. still has that crackly (tinny even?) sound at 2500-3500rpm, though my car has always had that. this cost me $325 incl install ($199 muffler only incl gst)on my da6 (cos of the crazy pipe setup, they shoulda went out the right side, god knows why they go out on the left). When i first saw it i was like nah...but once on the car its like woah that looks pretty cool me thinks i need a couple resonators, because it is real loud now, being basically a straight through exhaust system. i wouldn't mind knowing the approx cost of resonators anyone, and would they restrict performance a lot?!?!?

ps:- btw i got beaten by a nose by a worked gts-t last nite...gutted.... :evil:

[SiRaccord]

resonators range from $40 to $100 depending on size,and they can make performance better somtimes cos of backpressure and stuff.most staight bolt on systems like DC sports and skunkworks have at least two resonators (somtimes 1,somtimes 3 depending on car)

[DA8!]

Disinfo: External factors affected the final price :wink:

I was quoted $675 for a 2.25" mild steel mandrel system from Total Performance. (Generic resonators/mufflers, I think.)

[melon]

if your on a low budget i would recommend a 2 1/4 inch system with 3 straightthrough cobes (bout $80 each) in place of existing mufflers with no cat - and this will be fairly loud so make sure you get big cobes :wink:

SiRSoL : only thing left standard is the headers. no all the resonators has been changed, 2.25in, coby, put a shorter one where the cat is and another longer one in the middle.
