Recomendations for a quiet exhaust system (Budget)

[Kamatari+]

I search for "quiet exhaust" and most of the recommendations fell on using the OEM system. I wanted new parts rather than pulling one of a JY car.

When I bought the car it had no Catalytic converter, and the entire system has rust and holes everywhere. I got under the car and tapped aluminium cans and it made the system bearable, but they melted away from the extreme heat and I was back at square one. At least I had 3 minutes of peace.

Anyway, I have no concern for performance what so ever. I want to make my cb7 as quiet as possible, or at least if I can find a balance between a quiet system and a decent price.
If I can spend less than $500 that would be golden. I would like a catylic converter, contrary to what some other accord owners told me to buy. I read that helps a lot with the sound, as well as keeps the fumes out of my nose.

Any recommendations cb7?

buy a catalytic convertor and OEM replacement exhaust pipe from your local parts store. It will be new, and quiet, and won't break the bank!

i found a stock one on the junkyard that was pretty clean and just had a ding on the tailpipe so i cut it off and attached it to my double tailpipe ,, i can never hear my exhaust unless im behind the car ,, most of my noise comes from the engine

At one point i was able to find Apexi's WS2 for less than 500 bucks but that'll be hard now but yeah going OE like will be the absolute quietest. If your flex pipe is ripped, it'll probably cheaper to go with a whole aftermarket header than to buy just the flex pipe from an autoparts store as with the header, the pipe is included.

catalytic converters will run you at least 120 bucks. I guess due to the rare metals in them the price has gone up because i bought my CC from Autopartswarehouse.com a few years ago for only 80 bucks and it came with the flange for bolting it to the other pipes.

You can get a magnaflow converter for about $90 shipped thats how much i paid on ebay, also bought the magnaflow cat-back for $325 shipped. Love how the car sounds nice and deep tone not that coffee can crap some of the civics i know are running.

"contrary to what others told you"? Good thing you're not listing to idiots that tell you not to run a cat!

As said above, OEM replacement everything should be fairly cheap from most autoparts stores. I don't recommend a "performance" cat, even a good brand like Magnaflow. They have a reputation for not lasting very long.

You could always go to a muffler shop and ask them what a full replacement exhaust and cat would cost you. I believe I paid $400 for my whole setup, and it had wider piping, a stainless sport muffler, and new flanges needed to be welded on. You could probably get a direct replacement for much less, installed.

2.5" catback piping with a 2.5" I-O resonator and 2.5" single tip muffler.

I never got it dyno'd, but other than a little edge off the absolute top of the rev range the butt dyno felt no difference. And it was just slightly louder than stock

I fiind our dynamax turbo to be pleasing when accelerating without the buzzing drone at cruising speeds

Yeah, the suggestion was for performance I'll assume. The person had a swapped everything with a short ram intake and all sorts of fast car mods. I on the other hand want no such thing. This is my daily driver, I almost never go over the speed limit, and I never have to launch myself to get there. I have no care for performance, such quietness and health safety.

Thanks for the the suggestions guys, I appreciate it.

Love my engine noise. Doubleeee stackkkk

OEM. Resonators are good to. My green car is quite as fuk and all I have a 6th gen muffler with a sexy tip.Well I have a header to.
When I get on it all you hear is the H23 intake.

[1990SL0Cb7]

honestly. im running a megan header and downpipe to an cheapie ebay cat back. test pipe and i cut the muffler off and welded an acura RSX type S muffler. she runs great. sounds good and is quiet. little raspy but she is quiet!

A dolphin tip muffler would be sick too. They're quiet but they also give you deeep noice sound up in the RPMS.


Find a welder and peice an ebay exhaust together. we all know they dont fit right anyway

OP: what kind of budget are you looking for?

A good lasting exhaust system on the "cheap" side thats quiet with good performance is going to cost about 500 bucks + install.
