#346797 For a nice deep tone non raspy and no highway drone, Yonaka. I've had mine for a year now and it still sounds great

#346798 I've been using a cheap DNX branded flow-through muffler for around 4 years or so and it's deep and non-raspy on my B18C. I have a resonator in-line with the pipes halfway through the car, too, which I think is crucial to keeping the tones deep without drone.

#346873 i vote for the flat black vibrant muffler, super deep low noise.

pair it with a vibrant ultra quiet resonator as well...

#346877 What will the resonater do? Was thinking of removing

#346881 makes the exhaust more quiet. removes raspyiness. you don't want to remove it or it will sound like shit. Unless you got a turbo on your car, i say keep it on. the turbo will make your exhaust alot more quiet.

#346910 Resonator does not restrict flow like people think. It's VERY important part of the exhaust that greatly reduces raspyness

#352836 All of the advice so far has been great all of those brands work great. Magnaflow, Vibrant, and Apexi (The WS2 muffler) all sound great especially with a resonator installed. The resonator helps eliminate the drone in the cabin as well as the raspy sound.

Here is a great place that sells them all as well as a ton of other options. They also sell full bolt in exhaust piping kits to save you some of the fab work or expense of having a shop weld up mandrel bent piping for you.


Magnaflow exhaust video, there is no other description of the exhaust but I would guess there is no resonator or its too small of one from the rasp.


Apex'i WS2


Vibrant muffler, I don't see a resonator in the piping under the car:


Whatever you end up doing post a video so we can hear how it sounds.

#352837 I forgot... having owned a Yonaka exhaust on my sedan and hatch they are a great budget option especially if you have a friend or yourself with the ability to weld. The Yonaka sounds great and from personal experience and friends who have them they last about 2 years (in Florida conditions) before the guts of the muffler start rotting out and they slowly get louder. They hang low which is why I say being able to weld or knowing someone who can helps out. I installed mine with new rubber hangers from Honda and I removed the metal hanger pieces from the piping and welded them back on to raise the B pipe up so it wouldn't hit the ground over bumps. Out of the box they don't survive long on a lowered Civic.
