Run two mufflers its the easiest way to be quiet. -
technically i have three th audi resonator acts as a muffler plus the obx is two mufflers side by sideComment

Here's a novel idea...
Get a catalytic converter!
Also, I'm sorry that you were informed that the muffler you bought was going to be quiet. It's technically two tiny canister-style mufflers. The smaller the muffler the more raspy and high-pitched it's going to be.My Members' Ride Thread - It's a marathon build, not a sprint. But keep me honest on the update frequency!Comment

no cats for me because i plan on boosting soon and to much loss in horsepowerComment

If you know as much about boosting as you do about the true effects of a catalytic converter then I feel badly for your engine. Oh well, boats need anchors I guess.My Members' Ride Thread - It's a marathon build, not a sprint. But keep me honest on the update frequency!Comment

OP you need to do some research. You need to learn a lot before proceeding any further. Otherwise you’re going to be kicking yourself in the ass later. That’s if your CB even survives the bad decisions you are soon to make.
Sorry if it sounds as if I is being an ass. I’m not trying to be. I just really hope you take my advice.

You need a cat.
It helps muffle some of the exhaust noises(besides cleaning up your emissions)
To the muffler, all you did was swap the same muffler.You went from one big one to two smaller , less efficient ones.If you wanted a quieter muffler, you should have went with an oval design.

Op, just get a proper exhaust system. Putting mufflers where they don’t go and taking components out that its needs, it’s never going to be right.
As far as the muffler, you can’t blame it on the muffler. OBX is "cheap" but in the right exhaust system with the right components it will do its job very well for a long time. However the style of muffler you have isn’t very efficient period. No matter who makes it.

way to many people think catalitic converters hurt the engine's perfomance when it actually helps. Lol deevkeepsdoingthiswhenhewantstomakeapoint.10th Anniversary Accord.

The cat doesn't really help performance. It IS a restriction. But it's not such a restriction that it's worth removing. The sound, smell, toxic emissions, and illegality that are the results of removing a cat really aren't worth removing it.
Removing a catalytic converter to be faster is like wearing lightweight shoelaces so you can jump higher.
If it's not a race car, track only, it should have a cat. If it's a dedicated track car, ditch the cat.

On the factory turbo DSMs I was told that deleteing the cat can cause boost creep. I wonder if it would do the same to a CB with the DSM 14b setup that most people use.
