Listen to my exhaust, what mods make it sound not too ricey?

[Alexjrz]

I have a test pipe in it, is that the reason why it makes that ricey sound there? Would a resonated test pipe improve that? Or, should I add headers and 2.5 inch piping?

Comments would be very appreciated!

Replace the test pipe with an actual resonator and it will cut down on the rice factor quite a bit.

Adding a header and increasing the diameter of the pipe will only make the rice louder.

put the cat back on, the honda cats flow extremely well

^this.

Catalytic converter, the largest resonators you can fit, and a quality muffler.

I just installed a flowmaster muffler actually, in the inside it does not sound ricey at all, it has a Deep tone inside and outside (you can feel the "hum" from 20-30 meters away). Do you suggest a high flow catalytic converter? Or just a normal metalic catalytic converter?

Can you send me a link of a specific part please? Thank you.

I run a Magnaflow OE replacement. Car sounds great and it doesn't feel bogged at 8k+ either.

Personally, FlowMaster's sound bleh on 4-cylinders. I'd stick with Magnaflow, Tanabe, Greddy, Apexi, or Vibrant.

[deevergote]

I'd add RS*R to that list as well


No high flow cat. And no, i'm not going to waste my time googling for a stock replacemrnt cat fkr you. I'm sure you're capable of doing that.

I tried buying an RS*R before I bought my Apexi, but couldn't find one.

I believe they still make the ExMag for our cars. One version of it was discontinued, I believe (black, maybe?) but I think it's still available. For some reason, I'm really drawn to the brand.

I have an OEM replacement cat, 2.5" crush-bent piping, 2 resonators (18" and 20" maybe? Not positive... I just said "stuff whatever you can fit under there" and left it at that!), and a generic dual tip muffler. It's a little loud, but not raspy and has a nice tone. Muffler shop special. No brand names. I'm sure results vary with that, though. Someone else might not have the same luck.
My friend got a similar setup from the same shop, and it already rotted out on him. He now has an Apexi World Sport 2.

No more RSR EX Mags are being produced for CB7s. I bought mine for 360 shipped new back in Jan 2010 from a shop in LA that was closing out inventory. Later sold it in June 2012 for 1200 used to a member on here. He just had to have it, so I couldn't turn that down.

Replaced it with a Apexi WS2 and the sound I believe is better, produces a lower tone, but the fitment and the way it hangs is not as good, it sits too low and I scrape my B-pipe everywhere. The RSR tucked up against the chassis way better and never scraped even with me being lowered about 3".

So I'd get the RSR for that aspect alone over the WS2.

As for me

I wouldn't change anything besides the Muffler an the pipe that connects the pipe to it. I have a JASMA 051 on mines an it sounds great. depends on what sound you are looking for on a cb7 though. i know if i do a bigger pipping size, it'll sound more rally. Change it back to stock.
