does a stock si exhaust have a silencer?

[polar23]

i was just wonderin' if there's a silencer on it....

[mohouse]

No, why would you need a silencer on it! Its not too loud....to me its actually perfect!

[06 Civic Ex]

i lol'd at this

[habitat]

The stock exhaust is fairly quiet... the front is where all the noise is made.

[0720Steve]

it has a resonator and premuffler before the muffler to cut down on noise and for emissions....the muffler itself doesn't have a silencer like you would find in a fat can exhaust....is this what you mean?


what are looking for, more noise...? if it had one would you take it out?

[fishermoe14]

maybe hes asking if there is a resonator... and possibly what he can do to remove it??

[1bdazzdak]

there is a resonator... just take it to any decent muffler shop and have them cut it out for you and weld in a piece of pipe. Thats what I did to my Si. But I have since added the I cant take a picture of my stock exhaust if you'd like

[SilverBulletGTP]

There is no silencer, and I like the way the Si sounds stock. Nice and quiet.

[polar23]

oh sorry about that... it was the resonator i was talking about....

[jomasoccer9]

if you don't hit v-tec it's silent but if you hit v-tec it will scream at you

...high reving machine...

How did you delete it? Weld a new piece in?

he pressed the delete key on his navi.

[0720Steve]

yeah, you can go to a local muffler shop and have them take it out. i was going to see if one could get rid of the entire piece from flange to flange and weld in straight pipe.....cat back to muffler. but since it is "emissions equipment" they may be reluctant to.


but if i take my exhaust off from the cat, remove muffler, and take it in and say it was "stolen" and need a new pipe put in they might do it.

Why not just get a test pipe and cat back?

It's basically a muffler before the muffler to keep noise down. There's no reason to remove it other than to make more noise. However, I doubt it would make much more noise so I'd say it's pretty pointless. You won't get any more power from removing it either.

ahh... i see. but what about the premuffler? has anybody here tried removing it? what does it sound like? well, the reason why i'm asking this is because i'm planning to get a muffler to get my Si a more aggressive tone... i mean really do like the way it sounds right now i just wanted to get a more deeper sound but not that loud....
