OK so im sick and tired of getting tickets for "improper exhaust" so i have decided to get rid of my tanabe muffler and trade it for a friends GSR muffler. My question is are the mufflers the same for the GSR then for the RS/LS or is there any differences. All in all i'll take a small loss in hp for the ease and relaxation of not having to worry about getting a ticket for my exhaust (i've gotten 3 in the last 4 months, 2 of the 3 where in the same month.)

There is a small difference, but I'm pretty sure they'll bolt up. The GS-R muffler flows a little better, has a different tip, and the axle-back piping is 2" instead of 1.91".

How about a resonator? I can hear a Honda a mile a way if it doesn't have a resonator.

why not get an Apexi WS? sucker is like stock...i'll sell you mine =P i'm going to get a full straight pipe, 2 resonators haha

those tanabe's are so loud! my friend had one...

yeah i was having that same prob for awhile so i switch back to stoc myself.. what you might be able to do is get a test pipe instead of your cat and if you still have all the performance exhaust piping with just the stock muffler it will kinda trick the police.. they still try to get behind me but when they see a stock muffler they drive away but they kinda hear me because i have a header,test pipe and 2 in exhaust to a stock muffler .. just a ideal if you want to go that route

Somtimes I'll see a nicely modified EG with the plainest looking muffler sticking out the back. The muffler always looks stock, but they look brand new and not like the ones that came with EG Cvics.

Well according to state law the muffler is the one thing that cant be touched, i can change up the exhaust (I have with some bigger pipping and a straight pipe.), but the muffler under state law can not be touched. So unless the officer has a noise measurer in his car, and i have a stock muffler i cant get a ticket........such a good feeling......over 200 already in muffler tickets, I cant afford that all the time

Get a type R exhaust.

ohhhhhh i see i see. yeah, those tickets can add up. my friend got 1000 dollars worth in 2 weeks HAHA. and his integra is less modded than mine...it was the tint, drop, and exhaust that nailed him everytime...

......y would i do that i have the same piping as one....unless u mean the type-r muffler but i have a feeling thats costly and this is going to be free

You have Type R piping? As in 2.25" mandrel-bent? The ITR muffler also flows 30% better.

What he said. :number1

 

[Yoshimitshu]

I have the 2.25 piping straight piped....but not the bend......so everything besides the bend....

It's ok. If through porting, agressive cams, wider piping, and increased compression you only get 25hp, the mandrel bends don't really do much.

I like a stock muffler, connected to 2.25" all the way back, it looks stock, and isnt verry loud.
