    back to oem exhaust...am I crazy?

    Lately, Ive wanted to go back to stock oem catback for the reason of noise, usually when driving and on the highway its kinda loud. when I got my magnaflow catback it was fine, then I got my Header and Cat and it got pretty loud, I mean its awesome when im in the mood and shifting pretty high, but sometimes it just annoys me. I would have switched to oem but the only thing that bugs me is putting on aluminized crap and the resctrictive/crush bent piping.

      There is one built into the catback before the muffler.

              RS*R and Apex'i are both very UNannoying. They aren't loud at all, even with a full exhaust.

              Also a couple other options to consider, to keep performance and lose noise.

              The stock Prelude VTEC muffler looks exactly like the OEM one, but is slightly higher flowing. I don't know off hand what the piping diameter into the muffler was, but I would guess about 2 1/4." It might be restrictive for a 200HP H22, but probably not for a 125-140HP F22.

              You could also consider an 05 and up RSX Type-S muffler. They are 2.5" through and through and are pretty subtle appearance wise (they look almost exactly like an RS*R). They are pricey though. Pre-2005 RSX Type S mufflers are either 2" or 2 1/4", but they are much cheaper.

                        Put the OEM back on.

                        What are you going to lose? all of 3hp? lol...people love to exaggerate about how much power they got from a cat-back exhaust when all in reality, it's how much "noise" they got....

                          one of the cars i drove for a while had a magnaflow high flow cat and catback with a stock header/dp... think was the the most annoying thing i have ever experienced... thats why i always kept a .stock exhaust on my car.

                          though, the apexi world sport is really quiet, thats the only aftermarket exhaust that i would use instead of stock...

                          owequitit - sure the prelude can looks stock but flows better, but have you ever noticed that the can is about as tall as it is wide? its freaking huge, it goes up behind the bumper... have you actually tried putting one on a cb7, because when i was lining them up to compare, it didnt look like it was ever going to fit...

                            Yes I have seen them. I haven't tried to make one fit, because I didn't have the need. I am sure based on eye measurement it could be made to work though. My RSR is also much bigger than the stock canister was, and there is still quite a bit more room if you package it right.

                            The Apex'i WS is a nice exhaust, although, most people who have heard both, have told me they like the RS*R better. I don't think you would really go wrong either way. Apex'i also has an advantage in that they also sell just mufflers, so you could have one put on piping of your choice.

                              Hi.
                              I have the apexi World sport 2 and I love it to peices. Im lowered on neuspeed race and it's nice. But I want my care slammed and since the WS sits soo damn low ill kill the midpipe..... Im thinking of putting it on for a month or 2 and slamming my ride. Literally.

                              But I need to find a EX exhaust first. =)
