Loud drone with Magnaflow

si_civic · 11-12-2007, 09:48 PM

My setup:

DCRH + aftermarket resonator + factory resonator + magnaflow axle-back muffler (2.5" in, dual 3.5" out).

AND IT IS STILL DRONEY!!

I am turning 30 (lol) and I don't want a droned-out Civic. I also lost a LOT of power adding that custom aftermarket resontor. It restricted a lot of flow in my opinion, thus I want it out. What can I do for quietness?

Should I ditch the magnaflow? It is a straight through design, and I think its too loud, but I like the dual outlets.

From what I have heard the Greddy SP2 sounds great with a race header. Never heard one in person, but I know the RSX guys love it. But you will loose the dual tip

I don't know you guy so perhaps the car you are driving is known to others. Do you have a coupe or sedan?

maybe you need to buy a different car! cuz it sounds like your S.O.L.

Thing is, it doesn't sound like a fart can.

Here is the video of my latest in-car sound:

Sound quality is poor, but you get the hint.

between 3-4k rpms is the drone, and that is where I cruise at on the highway. Becomes very annoying on long trips.

That sounds bad ass! But I can understand where it would get annoying. If the Turbo Mafia exhausts turn out nice, I think they have a dual tip muffler...just a thought.

magnaflow has to be the quietest muffler for our cars

Holy mother the top one would get suicidal on a long trip.
